Aloha again everyone,
Just wondering, when I harvest the top 2/3 of my plant, what do I do with the remaining flowers that have already flowered. I pplan to try and turn it into one mother strictly for cloning purposes. And if my plant turns hermie, do the clones also become straight Hermies or does stress to the plant cause them to cross. Any info would be great. Mahalo nui

the task of taking cuttings[clones] becomes twice as hard once the plant starts to bud. It can be done. But I suggest when using clones with buds be soaked in a roting medium first before dip them in a hormone gel or powder. Once you start cloning near the top of your plant you'll have less success rates unless your a cloning pro bastard of sorts? The cannabis plant stores up it's carbohydrates in lower branches that are shaded . The upper branches are hard to clone because they have littl to no carbs stored up because of direct sunlight. So be extra careful when trying to clone upper parts of plant. But I highly suggest that you only clone a particular plant no more than two seasons at best. Any longer than that you run the risk of all kinds of dieases taking over your plant. Don't forget, these guys die out after one season,...normally!?

Just read about "monster cropping". The theory is around day 21 of flowering is a good time to take clones, they need to re-veg of course, but apparently they grow extremely bushy plants, and make up for the re-veg time because of it. It also negates the need for mothers as they are ready to flower about the time you harvest the last crop. Sounds promising and I will try. I'll find the link if anyone is interested.

are you feeding that little guy already? Reason I ask it appears I see nutrient burn on leaf already!?
No sir, I fear I have watered a bit too much. My soil has a control released fertilizer in it (Fox Farm). I believe that is the nutrient burn you see :bigjoint:, she is doing just fine though.

Well, nute burn is nute burn, regardless where it's coming from. You might be better in the future to mix the soil less hot, and then add ferts as the plant is ready for them. Call me crazy, but I prefer to feed just enough nutes to make em happy and grow good, everyone else seems to see what burns them, and then just do a little less. Oh yeah- I don't have to flush either ;)
