if you top it itll grow the lower branches more. then you can take cuttings from them.
need a growing tip on the cutting for it to grow, leaves dont grow anything.

thats what i thought. so when people say they striped a female they have toped it a few times 2 get the clones or does other areas grow out on their own as well.

it's definately too young to clone, it only has 1 top! top it again and wait until several more growths shoot out, you want atleast 3-5 inches - when you get a nice cutting, clip off the bottom leaves/growth so you have a nice long stem w/ a small collection of leaves/growth at the very top. also when cutting make sure to slice it at an angle to promote root growth. just wait a couple weeks for a bunch of new growth to shoot up, its just a baby right now.
