When To Clone?

When and where should I take cuttings from this plant? It's really growing well with my set up, and I'm tired of wishing I'd done it so I'm going to try.

You should wait and let it stretch something to cut out first.

Yeah, I definitely should have been more clear. I meant where on the plant and when as in early as possible or closer to flowering? Or does it really matter?

Anywhere above a node that has at least 3-5" of length to it.

Branches taken lower will clone easier. Some say the plant should be at least 2 months old before you take clones from her.

Does that still hold true since I've done some LST/topping? All of what would be the lower growth is now the same as what would be the top.

Or does it just switch up and there will be new "lower growth" to cut out?

Not sure on that one. One way to find out though!!

In my experience you can get a clone at anytime you want except after the first 3 or 4 weeks of flower. Assuming there's enough stem/nodes to make clones with. I usually take clones after a couple weeks of real vigorous veg when its about to go into flower. They seem to clone faster using the lower branches but you can clone tips too. Keep humidity up and don't over do the lights.

The 5-7 pruning rule of thumb is what i go by

Should of cloned when you topped...if it was long enough. I've read that cutting clones during flowering works well at the three week point. But just a few. You don't want to traumatize plant in bloom.
