Clones: trim the leaves horizontal or no?
Cannabingrowinstarted grow question 3 years ago
When you cut a potential clone from the mother. I usually try to have at least 3 nodes, but when the nodes are alternating (why do they alternate sometimes?) VS two leaves stemming on each side of the main stem in a symmetrical style?
I also cut the bottom in a diagonal way why?

gREEn7o0answered grow question 3 years ago
In my experience most symmetrical plants come from seed or from main stem clone. Once you start cutting from side branches you will tend to have asymmetrical or alternating growth.
I'm not certain but I believe the purpose of diagonal cutting is to maximize surface area for the clone to uptake water and for the area to grow new roots from.

Ready for flushing?It’s my first grow and I’m not quit sure if I’d already flush the plant. And how long do you all think I should keep it growing from now on?
As autumn already hit and the weather will be cloudy and not warmer than 15*C over the day. ( Installed a light and it’s in an greenhouse)

When to flushI am noticing some cloudy trichomes ( probably 60% clear, 40% cloudy) I also am noticing the top pistils have started to just turn brown. Anybody have any insight into when I should start flushing? Does a 2 week flush with demineralized water at a ph of 7 sound right?

Training options?Almost at the end of week 2 flower. Plants are healthy. My question is, what training is needed to get the most out of them? When should I “lollipop” them or what should I do to maximize these results. I’ve been holding off on trimming lower branches. Hoping to reach the top.
