Good day everyone I have a question in which I don't believe has been asked before about node branches. My plants are about 5 or 6 weeks old now and if I decide to take cuttings from a "mother plant" if i take cuttings from a vegetative plant will the node brances grow back? Also what and where are node branches? Here's a pic of my first grow.. thank you all.:leaf:

A node space is the point between two different sets of leaves where a bud site or new set of branches would form.

I believe it's where the main branch begins from between those two little ones. Right up until the next set. That's a node space.

Oh I think I get it now, Last question is this do you clone the node branches or just cut the fan leaves?

Plants need to be bigger. You need about 6 nodes on the plant just to get 1 clone because the cutting needs 3 nodes.
Be patient you are a couple weeks away from being able to clone

Thanks for the reply. I'm in no rush I know not to clone yet but I would like to gather all the info about nodes and cloning that I need for when the time comes. Better to be prepared right?

a "node" is just the fat part of the main stem where other stems grow. when you take cuttings, as long as you leave one node on the branch you're cutting it'll grow back, if you cut it back past the first node it won't grow back, it'll just dry up and drop off the main stem and that node will pretty much stop growing new branches. it may sprout a new one eventually, but it'll take a while and its not a sure thing, more like a 50/50 chance

your cutting needs a meristem-the growing tip of a branch, to continue growing, you might get it to root, but it would take it a long, long time to start growing above the ground, if it ever did.
