Ok, I've got 4 white widows that i've taken one cutting from each. It was my intention to give the original plants a couple of days to recover and put them into flowering and grow the clones and use them as a mother.

...........But i've just been reading that if you top a plant you should give it 2 weeks to recover before you start flowering as flowering sooner can affect yeild. Now I'm not sure what to do. I'm not sure if topping a plant and cutting an entire branch off will have the same effect on yield if I flower after only a couple of days? I'm thinking it may be coz when you top a plant you are cutting the main cola and it needs time to grow the two new colas where buds will grow, whereas cutting the whole branch off for a clone you're not worried about new growth coming that bud will grow on so you don't have to wait?

Or is it a more general health issue that you've got to wait till the plant recovers and gets back to full strength before you start flowering?
