Can I clone and mainline that bit I topped?

Pennellostarted grow question 5y ago

Hi guys, if I top my Amnesia, I mean, literally top them, Like straight cut at the 4th node, maybe? and leave the other 3/4 node above.. May I clone that topped bit? If so, since It should be growing like a normal plant as should be sprouting from the top, may I mainline that?

You can but the top of the plant doesn't clone as easily. Usually takes a little longer than clippings from the center and bottom of plant. Cheers

Split in mainline Noticed this split at the base of Natasha's mainline. I don't think it's getting any bigger but I'm not sure. Should I cover the opening with tape to try and keep out water/bacteria? Ziptie around the stem to prevent further splitting?

My question is concerning the use of LST, and it's correlation to longer than usual harvest times. It seems all the growers I follow whom train/defoliate their plants consistently harvest as much as 6 weeks later than what the breeder calls for. Any thoughts?

Broken Branch I broke a branch while tying down my mains. The branch almost broke completely off. I splinted the branch in place and used some tape to secure it to the branch. Will my branch recover from this?
