Thats because the horomones at the top of the plant are concentrating ong veg growth, side shoots closer to the bottom are closer to the roots so hold more of those horomones. I do find though that top cuttings are more compact, and side/bottom cuttings grow a little more stretched. I find they clone the same with my technique.
Chronic Chrissy Reviewed by Chronic Chrissy on . Do TOPPINGS Make Good CLONES? Got 8 gals going, 3 of them are just so far behind in their growth, that vegging them until they're big enough is gonna leave the other 5 much too tall. So I'm thinking of topping the crap out of the 5 to compensate a little for all the branches I was hoping would grow out of the 3 small ones but don't look like they will unless I wait another 3 weeks, giving the 5 another week of veg to recover, and then flowering them. I also need to get some clones before going into flower - can I use the Rating: 5
