Can I use plant top as clone?

I am going to top a clone about 2 or 3 weeks in and was wondering if I can use the top I cut off as a clone. Anyone who knows if this works please tell me Thanks

sure ya can. I do it all the time.

Yeah man... they are the best ones. Also if you keep moms for a while you basically have to do it or they get sooooo tall!

I was just going to say this as well! They seem to be the most affluent of all the cuttings! Go for it, my man!

the tops take longer to root then the lowers but they make great clones.. i have a friend that is on like his 10th harvest all from taking clones of clones..

Earlier poster is correct. Rooting hormones are strongest in those growing points nearest the roots. I just topped a sativa and trimmed it just like a clone. I put it in a tall cup of water and topped off the water every other day for 18 days. When I put her into dirt I made the soil real wet as the plant was used to water 24/7.

Good luck, BigSteve.

My tops seem to root on par with every other cutting, faster than most actually. The roots that broke through the rockwool were much more numerous initially, too.

Nevertheless, OP, rooting tops is AOK

thats great for you canuck, mine are always slower but yes they are stronger

So what is the "ideal" light/dark period to root cuttings?

24/0 or atleast 18+

24 for new clones is ideal after roots form 18 is fine
