I think if you harvest early your robbing yourself of better bud and more of it. Your other clones can be kept alive for another week easily enough, I think its worth waiting. Plus the longer the clones have to root the better there root structure will be when you do plant them. Though you will probably need to add water more often as there root system gets bigger
I am loving the branching instead of height as well. One of my plants looks more likes its 2 plants growing out of the same stem lol, my camera batteries are dead or id take a quick pic to show. Get paid Friday ill buy new batteries then.
I was thinking of doing some LST this weekend but looking at the way they are now im thinking I might try a super crop, I'll super crop each of the branches right down at the main stem and im thinking this might give me better results in the end, especially if I decide to start flowering in the next few weeks. I know this strain responds really well to super cropping as I did it with my original plant and me and my friend have been growing a beastly mother plant at his place over the last few months with several rounds of super cropping. Making these plants short and wide is top priority as really don't want to raise my lights at all (pain in the ass because my filter and fan would need to be moved, and id have to buy ducting). I figure I want my final height to be 1 - 1 & 1/2 feet
