Cloning Tops?
sacredgeometrystarted grow question 3 years ago
I want to clone all 6 of my plants using the tops because I am phenohunting. I am mainlining so I was planning on topping down to the third node after 5 nodes have grown . I tried raising my light to 36 inches and dimming it but my internodal distance is too short. What can I do?

I'd suggest letting them grow to 6 or even 7 nodes. I've had 100% success rate with >=6 nodes. Cut at 3rd and then prune everything below the fan leaves of the top-most node. Some strains take better to that treatment, others don't, but given enough time every single one should take root easily. Take care, keep growing and let us know how it goes! ✊

The question is why would you clone ALL plants when phenohunting?
Let the plants grow, and see which one displays the most desirable traits to you, then clone that one?
Here's an example why:
I have 2 plants, side by side, everything is EXACTLY the same
when I started them, plant 1 was a deformed seedling and plant 2 was perfect, faster growth, big leaves etc
few weeks later plant 1 is MUCH bigger than plant 2, its root structure is way ahead of plant 2 too and overall a better looking plant and i think the end result will also be far superior.
shorter version - the underdog prevailed despite a rocky looking start.

Well I'd let them grow out more then mainline it down. You can start the mainline process with topping it will just be a bit slower. Most clone and pheno hunting are done by letting multiples grow out and making mothers from the pheno of your choice with training done after the fact. But let us know how it turns out. 🤘😤

Concern about VPD, stretch, twisting leaves ... or is it OK?This Gorilla Zkittles seems to be stretching awfully much. Also, of more concern, the small leaves are twisting, as if too hot/dry. 78F, light is about 14" up, RH% setpoint 56%, leaf temps seems to max out at 76.5F. Should I worry? Or what? Thanks! VPD is 1.2-1.6 depending.

Excessive streching, or is it normal?Excessive streching, or is it normal?
What should I do to get more control for automatic genettics to avoid streching.
My guess is that this time, with healthy plants, and 3 in the 60x60 tent, they compited for light.
I didn't have a fan and ventilation is poor, would it be that?

Pytanie ogolneWitam mam pytanie czy to normalne? :) Odstęp między węzłami nie jest zbyt duży? Jakoś wydaje mi się że jest zbyt duży. Dzień 28 weg. Jest przed faza kwitnienia ale to chyba jeszcze nie czas na wyciąganie i taki odstęp. Wszystkim dziękuję za odpowiedź.

Any way to save my clones, and have healthy clones from these? I took these about 7 weeks ago and life got ahead of me. The plants these are from are greatI took these clones 7 weeks ago and never got around to transplanting them. As you can see, they are rootbound, stretched, and stunted. My question now is, is there any way I can make these clones usable? If not, it's a lesson for next time, but I want to use these clones.

Topping very bushy plants with low node distanceThis plant is very bushy already in this stage, is this normal?
I wanted to top them and ask about the timing, if its right or not, but it's getting hard to count the nodes and take photos , because there is so much in the way.
Happy growing!

Small/compact plants, light intensity? Genetics? FC-E 3000 50% 24” lamp to plant, 2 weeks old, fastbuds and ganja farmer seedsSince upgrading to my FC-E 3000 I’ve noticed that my plants seem to be more stumpy/compact. I’m just curious if I have my light intensity turned up to high causing them to be short with little space between nodes the way a weak light causes your plant to stretch?Plant. Spaces between nodes

Proper node spacingCan someone tell me the correct node spacing should be. I think they are stretching a bit and I should lower my lights, but don't want to risk light burn again. Conflicting info between light chart and ppd conversion with waveform lighting calculator.

Lot of close inner nodesHas anyone had a issue with a bushy plant like this one? My Watermelon Zkittles I’ve very bushy and compact compared to my original skunk. At the beginning of veg I dealt with a lot of stress issues will this cause it?
