Hello,
I just cloned for the 1st time a few weeks ago and my 1st two clones rooted and are growing but they are growing straight up and not branching out at all. They look like a bean stalk more than a plant. I don't believe its a stretching issue because of lack of light. I have plenty of flo lights and keep them 1-2" above the tops. I never had a problem growing the mother plants from seeds under the same lights.
I am just starting 3 new clones and I would like to hear your thoughts on topping or pruning the clones to prevent this from happening again. Should I use the FIM method or wait until they get a little bigger and just cut the top off to make them branch?
The clones I currently have are about 10 inches tall now(started at about 2 inches tall) and keep shooting straight up. Should I cut the top inch or so off of these clones to get them to branch? Will they still continue to get taller and grow new nodes after I top them? I don't want to limit their height to 10 inches!
Thanks for the help!
