Your main stem will remain dominant. But you do start out with a bigger, more robust plant once it's rooted.

Scagster - mother plants need aggressive pruning or they get too big. If one did as you suggest, the mother plant would soon become too tall, the lower growth would all die off and you would be cutting into hollow stems much of the time.

PharmaCan Reviewed by PharmaCan on . Cutting topped branches for clones I just took a round of clones from my mother plant, and it happens that some of these were forked branches; branches I had pruned at a previous date that ended up growing twice as many shoots. The result is I have some conventional clones, and some clones that are shaped like the letter "Y" (one stem with a fork in the stem were it splits into two, with a top on each one). Has anyone done this before? Will it yield a plant with two main stems or will one become dominant? Rating: 5
