shes about 2 weeks old, been in the DWC for 1 week now and has an amazing root system and a thick main stem.. id also like to clone the top if possible

good to go

hmmm ok, im jus trying to figure out where it'd benefit most to top.. i illustrated the earlier pic. do u think i should top above or below the 3rd internode line? and when i top it, should i trim off all the bottom growth of the cut to clone?

top at the node nearest the top..ur plant isnt tht tall yet

420ms3 · Apr 30, 2012

well i just topped her, i used uncle Ben's technique for 4 colas (above the 2nd node), and im a lil worried... i cut off like 70% of the plant, and now shes gushing water out of the open wound!

Dutchmast3r · Apr 30, 2012

lol itll heal..ull get 4 outta tht i can see em on the sides now..def a nice job.

Dutchmast3r · Apr 30, 2012

is the stem on tht top even long enough to get to the water?

420ms3 · Apr 30, 2012

HinduWiff · Apr 30, 2012

plants are pretty hardy, it'll survive that topping

even if the stem isn't long enough, capillary action should bring water to it.

HinduWiff · Apr 30, 2012

if anything itll make it more of a bush.. nothing wrong with that

420ms3 · Apr 30, 2012

kinda confused Well more blazed i guess, but r u guys referring to the stem of the chopped plant or the stem of the cutting from it?

420ms3 · Apr 30, 2012

with a root system like this for a 2 week old plant, shes gotta survive!!

HinduWiff · Apr 30, 2012

yeahh i dont have a doubt in my mind... shell grow

Dutchmast3r · May 2, 2012

ya what u just cut off

420ms3 · May 2, 2012

im cloning it in a Rapid Rooter plug in a seedling tray with humidity dome.. the plug will keep the cutting moist
