In the first or second week of flowering, I have started clipping off all the skinny branches down at the bottom 3"-6" of the plant. This is what Arjan from GreenHouse seeds does. I used these to make 12 clones, 2 from each plant. I have feminized Morning Glory, so most should be females, but if a few are male, I will know which clones to kill. Here is a picture of a Bud I broke off by accident, in about week 5 or 6. I cloned it with just city tap water and a glass placed over it. Look close at the base of the plant, you will see the bud there. When it started sprouting leafs, they did not even look like MJ leafs, and it looked like a freaked out Bonzia plant. Now it is doing very well, and looks good and healthy.
