    Manifolding/Mainlining/Topping and earliest point to take clone cuttings

    When you take your clone cuttings can you use the cuttings from the topping process or are they typically too small to clone from?

    Usually you'd like to have at least two nodes but I've done it successfully with just one. Good luck

      Absolutely, I've done it before. And since they are usually symmetrical. They are much easier to manage.

        Thanks for that. I've done small clones before but not any of weed. Got about a 50% success rate but really really slow to get going. Months.

        Can I stick the clones in a coco/perlite medium with say a soaking of seedling strength nute mix and just keep it moist with that?

          I apply clonex. Plant them deep into the soil. (FFOF). I just give PH adjusted water until they start growing.

          I've got that rooting compound, both hardwood and softwood, but results seemed about the same with or without it with a few different plants I've done...last lot I did was rosemary and they took quite a few months to root in good soil but eventually got there.
          I don't have branded soil here. Has anyone cloned into coco?

        Always the obvious first choice for a clone and in my experience can be a 50/50 success rate at the earliest stages with the success rate improving the more the top stretches and ages. I have found that the lower branches of a older plant that produces new growth is a better choice but come closer to the flip, through the transition and early stages of flower defoilaging.

        Your going to thin the canopy anyhow.

          Yes. I'll be topping and thinning. I may leave my first top a bit later than normal and get a couple more nodes on it. I'll try with the later cuts also.

          Raise your lights and let them stretch a little😉

        Yes you can go straight into coco, soil, moss, cup of water, paper towel, leca....... aeration helps in water, clipping the bottom leaf tips, Spritz the leaves with water out of the light, some rhyzo, clonex, B vitamin, superthrive.......cannabis is on the easy side of cloning comparatively.
