I recently cut the top out of 2 plants, cut the limbs off that were long enuf to clone. But then what to do with the large top left over. Well I grab a leaf from the aloe, tear it open and stick one into the slimy stuff inside then into a pot. Same with the second, my thought was "what do I have to loose?" I sat them under the other girls so the got indirect light and watched them. In a few days it looked like the MPxT1000 would not make it, I misted it twice daily, not the other one. The last pic is them this morning (pic 3 far left plant).

Mine are all clones Rwise and the biggest I have is about a five footer. Prob 3' wide. I topped them quite late because I didn't know about GWE or advanced training or timelines. Pretty much not much. The tops didn't clone well at all, but did manage a few beautys out of them for round 2. All are sativa dominate hybrids, lanky and tall. Next batch has been topped and are in training now. Lots of tentacles. Good luck man!!!

I have never done a very large clone like those. Most mine are about 4-5" cuts i take but i've never used a top but i sure am going to try one sometime. :smile:

Huh well dang maybe it's cause my tops don't have any length to them when i top it's barely nothing so i'm gonna let a plant get just tall next time i do a photo run will be about right to clone for spring. So yes i do believe i will allow my photos from seed to get tall then top and clone the top. Thanks guys 
It was a fun experiment, these 2 are 11 days in soil today! Another week they should have roots grown and be ready to transplant.
I never tried anything this large before, ok a gopher cut off a 6 foot tall tomato at the ground, I covered it and watered, it lived and grew like nothing happened.

I just took clones from my mothers a few days ago. They were all about 12" but I cut them shorter so I could fit a bag over them and stick the stem way down in the soil. Easiest method I've used for cloning honestly. A freezer bag fits perfectly over a 1 gallon pot so I do that and give them a good water and leave them alone for about a week. Take the bags off after 5-7 days and water and watch them grow. I tried cloning a top that was 12+" but I wasn't using that method and it didn't take. I think if you could have found a bag to hold in the humidity for the first week, she'd be doing a little better. I feel like you can clone as big or little as you want though. JDU and I had a discussion a while back about the length and toughness of the clones we took and how it related to root development. We both decided that the shorter, softer stems seemed to root faster than longer, tougher stems. Maybe try a bag over her for a few days if you have one big enough and see if she perks up? Only thing I can think of that may help.

Yeah it's low but still do-able. I've just found that I have a higher success rate with the bags and I don't have to spray them (I'm lazy sometimes so it's a win-win), and they seem to root faster for me. That's a Christmas gift I wouldn't mind for sure, if I had the room.
