Monster Cropping before 14 days of bloom

Hello all. My Purple Urkle plant is a very good growing specimen, and this is my last bean from this Herbies strain. I have 20 nice colas and was thinking about monster cropping a couple of them for clones. The plant is on 11 days of bloom. I have never tried monster cropping, but I would sure like to save this strain for a while longer. Any tips from my forum friends that monster crop their plants?
 
Take some of the small side branches for clones,I wouldn't cut the main branch, how do you plan on cloning them??
 
I was planning on taking a couple of the side branches off for the clones. They are two of the 20 tops I have formed from my manifold. They will have at least 7 nodes on each branch with a budlet formed on top of each branch. I was planning on rooting them in DI water and a root stimulator. What you think Gator?
 
Sounds like a plan to me,aloe makes a great rooting agent,if you have one, honey works good also, save yourself a few bucks when you can right 👍
 
That's the way I live my life, mostly anyway! Thanx Gator, I don't have the aloe, but I have honey in my veins. Give it a sugar BUZZ!
 
I like this plant's structure and vigorous growth so much that I'm thinking at harvest time to monster crop the mother plant, then make her re- veg. If I have enough plant material left on the branches to get a good re-veg.
 
I was thinking about doing something like that with the Alaskan thunderfuck, harvest the mom, but leave a little something to reveg and clone,her clones look better than she does 😂

Hello Gator. I got my clones started today. If we get the opportunity to monster crop our mother plant so we can re-veg, maybe we should stay in touch about the progress?
 
It will be close to another 2 months before I can try to re-veg the mother. I am excited to try the re-veg process!
 
Hello all. How much foliage would you recommend leaving on the mother plant after harvest for re-veg? It seems to me that a person should plan on the re-veg when you start the plant. What I mean is, leaving a little extra foliage on during the trim process for the re-veg. The plant I am wanting to re-veg won't have much extra foliage to leave behind, just bud. I lollipop early on!
 
An update on my Purple Urkle monster cropped woody clones. It has been 18 days since I started the clones in H20. The clones have started getting the adventitious roots now. Maybe it's going to work, only time will tell. I sure hope it does because my dementia mishap with the mother plant has been devastating. She looks so bad now!! And I wanted to share a pict of my favorite strain after she got her 21-day trim, but I got lost after I poured a whole bottle of ph down, down her pie hole. Didn't realize it till the next day then had to do a big flush. She is in her 4-5th week of bloom and most of the bigger leaves are yellowed up bad. It was such a beautiful manifold with 20 colas. I'm just sickened by the whole event. This mother plant will not have enough good foliage left on her to start the re-veg after harvest. Good luck next time I guess, GO CLONES!!

Oh man that sucks Chipper. We all feel your pain, we’ll be rooting for the clones (pun intended 😜)
 
Thanx Smallgrow! I have had some very ugly plants in the past that gave me some great smoke. I hope this will be one of those!
 
Day 21 since I started clones in water. Clippings are getting the white callus bumps on the outer stem now. Things are on track so far, I think
 
Its day 31 from when I started this experiment. The cut ends of the clippings are almost covered with white callus bumps now. It looks like coral growing but still no white roots protruding as of yet. The foliage is still a nice green color. If the roots don't start to grow outwards here in the next 2 weeks I may give up and start my next grow with out them
