Sorry Stinky...I didn't even think to mention taking the lower branches for clones, but he did specifically mention topping.
My bad.

Hudson...you can put the unsexed adult under 12/12 light to determine sex, prior to taking clones. Takes a week or so to start seeing sex, depending on strain and maturity.
Once sex is determined, you can switch back to 18/6, or whatever your veg cycle is. Takes another week or so to revert back to full veg. A total of two or three extra weeks for this process, but you'll know which plant(s) to take clones from, and which are the males. :thumbsup:

Do you have seperate veg and flower rooms? Just curious, because you can't veg and flower in the same closet without some serious lightproofing and ventilation handywork.
Rusty Trichome Reviewed by Rusty Trichome on . Question about cloning 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 Rating: 5
