Yes...you'll have to wait until it branches out and is much taller to have any viable cuts from that one. Give it a month or so and you'll be in biz.
good luck

You could take 1.
I always start with one off my mothers, I top them first. Then it is 4, again topping, then 8, 16, 32 etc
I don't usually start this until they are quite tall, say 5-6 nodes.

i start my mothers at three nodes, topping the last, allowing for four branches at the base; i train these out, and fim the shoots leading off of the four main branches. here are some of my moms... i have taken up to thirty slips from one, and they are all bonzai; less than fourteen inches tall. great for space saving...

.....what she said.

Exactly the same here. I start at 6 nodes and go down to three leaving the four out at the sides. I've found it more ideal to have my mothers in bubble buckets as the last mother I did was the first mother I'd tried in this method and she produced over a hundred clones very quickly. So quickly that I was able to flower her at 9 weeks (she was a clone of the original soil mother).
I'm outgrowing the strain at the moment (grapefruit) to concentrate on la confidential x mystery haze. Already got a mother in hydro and she is due for cloning. Shes showed sex after only 6 weeks veg. Had my eye on her all the way through, very indica dominant.

cant argue with that... looks awesome kp. and patch, if you pull the light away for a couple a days it will cause it to stretch a lil and give you more room to cut. then move the light back and give her some high nitro ferts diluted to hell and sperthrive also diluted what is it kp a drop a gallon? that should set up nice.

yes, st is a drop per gallon. very highly concentrated.
the only thing i do different, sk3, is the n feeding; slips root much better (imo) if the mother is borderline defficient in nitrogen, and fed with root stim (such as green light root stim, 10-20-10. the phosphorous aids in rooting (p=roots and roots=woots), and produces better overall results, imo. i have tried both ways, and i like this best.

i like to see at least 2 nodes. if i need to take a cutting very early it is to DWARF a plant. i lke to see 2-3 inces of growth and nice strong stem. these cuttings root in 8 days

I use voodoo juice as my root stimulator. Is this similar?
Didn't know about about the borderline nitro deficiency, although I saw exactly what you mean from your pic's. I pretty much like to see some signs of undernuting at all times anyway, even just the odd purple leaf stem now and again.
I use sensizym too... I also use/have used/will use again... piranha, barricade, scorpion, bud blood and there's a couple of others.
carboload in flowering too.
Veg and flower I use sensi grow a n b and sensi bloom a n b.

skunk, an has come up with a new bloom supplement. it's called hammerhead, and an boast big time on it. a true master i know gave me the dl, and said he will never use budblood or others again. he has replaced his sups with hammerhead. i'll get a link....

right, i dont due to i have indo bat guano in the soil. i usually only need to add N. works great. i always had a problem getting nutes right untill i started putting everything i need in my mix to start. low maitinance and the plants i have seem to be ultra sensitve. usually for my mothers i just use superthrive and grow big every other watering to each is own. btw kp i really like your set up. and fdd props to you as well!

Princess, those pics are great...I especially like the first one. Did you LST it? I didn't see any strings in the pic

i lst with weight; i hook a small chain to the branches, and hang a small padlock from the chain. after a week, the stem is in the possition i want, and i can relieve the pressure without the stem moving back up. i try not to tie, as i sometimes forget about strings, and cause myself headaches when i rediscover one i missed.
now, i have one particular blueberry pheno; this plant is one i call "self topping". all clones' tops die before they root, and the result is a super fim, up to sixteen branches. i'll get pix of that one later.
