|  Topping A Mom... I have a question on topping. My mother plant seems to be a bit sativaish. Like I said I'll be cloning from this plant but will eventually flower it. Im a bit worried that when she does flower....she'll grow too tall. She was planted on 7/5. Is it too late to top? If not...how long is the wait for her to recover and begin producing clonable branches?

| It is not too late. You just need to keep the lights close so she does not stretch. You should be able to take clones in 4-5 weeks. You want to wait as long as you can. The clones do much better coming from a more mature plant. | ||||||||

| Well its been in flower a week and showed sex. I took it out tiday and put it back under 24/0 lighting. Its getting tall. I want to top....let it recover....then begin cloning asap. But the wait, Mid suggested may be in order. I want them to ROOT. The last batch just hung out in the rockwool like a bunch of hobos. I wanna keep her for a round or 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 rounds of cloning...depending on how she smokes.

| Next question....I wanna top the plant about 2 nodes down from the top...is that ok to do? I always see the topping of just the top growing leaf cluster for lack of a better word.

| you could cut the sucker in half if it is healthy. Wait the 4-5 weeks though. I have taken clones while the plant was still in a flower stage. They did not make it. ( I should add I did not give them as long to root in the water either) I feel like I could have done a better job with them. It seems hard to remember to do everything you need to do when you have more plants. | ||||||||
