Thats really small. It looks like there's no branches to even take a clone from. Unless you top it and use the top for a clone, but it would be small. I would put it on 18/6 and let it grow some. then take clones from it.


Here's your pictures so no one has to click.

edit: thanks for posting the pic

if i topped it wouldent it turn out to be a small plant with mabey one bud spot? and if i turned it to 18/6 wouldent it streess out the plant and turn it to a hermie since its been on 12/12 from seed and its been well over a month?

no it shouldn't herm. but u really need to veg that plant for a while (18/6)
u said its got about a month left, but from what i see u cant even tell if it male or female and if and when it shows its female u have about 8-10 weeks of budding so your just a little off.
Id say 3 months left..... 1 month 18/6 and 2 months 12/12

im positive they are female cause there are pistals all over it, so i should just throw it on 18/6 right now?

what does lollipop mean?

and i already started new seeds and they are on 20/4, the only reason these were on 12/12 from seed because it was sopose to be a micro grow, thanks for all the help so far

bca21 if u think u can cut 3 healthy clones on that plant you never cloned before... and 4 weeks there's no way. if he kept it 12/12 maybe 8 weeks till finish but you cant clone a plant that's flowering. he needs to re veg and put some weight on that thing.

nice plantss, well i reveged them on 18/6 i repotted them in soil with perlite ( it was in strait tuff soil with no drainage before ). my big plant is looking greattt my other one..not so much, would it be because there were like minimal roots comming from it compared to my bigger one? and how long before roots grow back? thanks for all the help guys

Thanks thats 5 plants but like 150 tops lol. Im a hydro guy i never did that well in soil, but i know good drainage and and the right soil is key. Id say a week or less of shock from transplanting in the new soil. thats why i like hydro u skip the shock from transplanting if you know what you doing.
Good luck with your plants bro

Ive seen a finger from a leaf root. so shouldnt it work if you just cut one leaf off and let it root and then let that veg forever and make that the mother?

thats what i was thinking before, but i was thinking i have little shoots growing inbetween the branches that are about 1.5inches long and i thought if i cut them off put them in the rooting powder planted them, put them in a dome, they would grow, but i guess they have to be longer and for cutting off just a leaf i dono.

well here is a pic of a stem i think i can cut off to make a clone? maby it has to grow a little more? its about a 1/2 inch long and its working on the 3rd node. Its close to the bottom of the plant tho, i dono if that makes a difference?
I put a black line where i think i would cut it on a 45 degree angle?

Yes that would be where to cut. Your gonna have to wait till that gets a couple of inches long. 1/2 an inch is not loong enough for a good clone. I actually took one that small before just to see if it would work. It did, but the clone was small. I would wait till it's atleast 3 inches long before taking it.

oh ok thanks for the knowlege i have time, i just think im going to have to resort to cloning because for some reason my seedlings keep dieing or not sprouting at all.

does it matter how many nodes there are? or just the length of it, also does it matter how close the clone is from the bottom?

never clone untill there 3 true nodes (the first 2 dont count...)
the location on the plant where the clone comes from is not so critical, but the size of the clone does... bigger=better
