easy question about cloning EXPERTS please help!

starting a sog soon..going to have 3 plants tryin to get them as big as possible to cut clones from. Would lst,topping,supercroping etc. be a good way to make new branches to cut? or will those branches be too "young" to use for a clone? if any ideas/tips you guys have to get your mother plants big quick please let me know! thanks

best bet for more clones is topping IMO. Plants dont have to be that big just let it grow about 5 or more nodes and take a cutting from it leaving desired amount of nodes to grow new branches. Each node remaining will grow 2 branches and every couple weeks you will have many tops to clone.

Searching will yeild lots of answers. i like to trim my clones from the bottom, i trim only to make it easy to water hand water in coco, and clone these trimmings.

in your situation if you have 3 and want 30 ide get 10 nodes per and clone each killing the original 3 and making 30 and pray for 100% success this will be the quickes way, should be able to get 10 nodes in a few weeks. trhis is all info from my experiance in coco and my lesser skills

IMO a combo of topping and LST/Bending.

thanks guys..withoutachance i like the way you think thats what i wanted to do..if a few clones die off thats no problem

...there's your answer.

I've found vegging with 6500 K light greatly enhances branching and growth too for that matter.
