Word.
If I intend to put the mother into flower shortly, I take clones from the LOW branches that would have only developed annoying little popcorn buds anyway.
MAny growers prune these off even if not cloning, for a couple reasons:
-plant concentrates all energy on higher budsites (average size of colas is supposed to increase)
-airflow at the base of the plant is not impeded... very important in some situations... I would imagine most so when humidity is of concern
stinkyattic Reviewed by stinkyattic on . Clones & Yield Just a quick one really, we've some clones growing nice now, their mums are in flower room, if given the same conditions, do clones produce the same yield as mums, and if we took a clone from a clone before that goes in flower room, does the same apply about yield or do you lose a a little everytime you clone ? The clones would be goin in after 4 weeks of veg so they'd basically be same size as the mums who went into 12/12. I can't really be doing with the ' lets wait n see how many boys n Rating: 5
