Those clones appear to have been taken from a flowering plant. That's a major pain in the ass. IMHO, if a grower is selling clones to co-ops, he really needs to state whether they were taken in flower and as a result will need 3-5 weeks to re-veg before flowering. I'd be upset if I bought clones expecting to 'flip' them within the week, and they turned out to be in flower. Grrr.
To get branches, pinch the tip. Do not flower for 3 weeks after pinching. That plant also looks like it's sitting in cold, wet soil by the red stem and leaf shapes. There's a form at the top of the problems section, fill it out and post the results here so we can make sure you don't have any more issues.
stinkyattic Reviewed by stinkyattic on . Young plants not branching... Problem or Natural? Im on my first grow. I just received these two cali mist clones from a friend. They were rooted with an aero cloner and then placed in dirt. They were in their starter cups for a week and I have moved them to larger pots where they will finish with a scrog setup. Instead of these clones showing branches with leaves at the ends they look like one large bud. Brown hairs are present and only one or two leave segments is shooting out of each node. From the reading I have been doing the Rating: 5
