hey all,

Total newb here, got one small plant growing. looking to take clones and have read around a bit, just wondered what sort of size i should start with? I can only find some small bits that i can cut off at the mo, (like a small twig with 3 leaves at the end) and wondered if that size will work as i am a bit pushed for space.

Also, I read that the plants are only receptive reproductively near the start of flowering (about when those little V shaped tendrils appear?) However the plant continues growing for a long time after this even if no fertilisation occurs, as this is when the bud grows, and it made me wonder: why does the plant do this?

The flowering stage of cannabis growth is the reproductive stage.... Female plants grow flowers to catch pollen from male plants to produce seeds that will keep the species going.... The stretching is due to the fact that the plant itself knows that it needs to stretch to accommodate the flowers that are going to follow....
