Got a nice afghan kush special (world of seeds) should I clone bottom branches ?

Will the bottom 2 branches ever produce or should I just clone them now ? Shes been in veg 4 wks +, Im going to flip to 12/12 next week here she is.

They will produce with enough lighting, but not nearly as much as the other tops.
They will produce much more as clones.

Nice looking plant, btw. I have some WOS Afghan Kush that I will try soon.

Thanks man I was just thinking if it would shock her a little bit since shes going into flower soon, I dont want to jeopardize her in any way but I do want to keep this strain going Im like 50/50 ?

nah...don't worry. She'll be fine. A lot of people don't take clones until they are ready to bloom. If I need to, I will even take them a week or so into flower.
Now is a perfect time to clone.

yeah I agree do you think it might kick out some growth to the top taking the bottom 2 ?

I'm on my 3rd AKS (same pheno, cloned twice after flowering the mother) and all 3 times she didn't stretch much at all. IMO, I would remove all the lower bud sites on her and lst, supercrop the shit out of her, she stays short and will probably do best under a scrog setup.

Good luck, great smoke but I only top my plants to produce 4 to 6 cola's and unless I did something wrong, she wasn't anything special

This 3rd one I'm growing will be my last, I still have a few more seeds so hopefully it was just a bad pheno.

Nice this one is growing so fast its crazy, she was like 5 inches tall on feb 17. I think I have a good one here but I did just now end up taking the 2 bottom branches for clones as I think this will be worth keeping for sure.

Hello wardman75. I am an Afghan Kush grower myself. I purchased 10 regular seeds from buydutchseeds.com and 6 germed. Per Uncle Ben's Topping Technique ( UBTT ) , I waited until there were 6 true nodes and topped above the 2nd true node on all plants. The tops were coated with Green Light rooting Hormone, placed in rockwool and humidity domes. Elevated about six inches with a 100 watt incandescent bulb under it for heat ( 78 degrees F). and one CFL for light they did very well. After 5 weeks, the light cycle for the topped afghans was changed to 12/12 for flowering. 3 plants turned male and were chopped with their clones tossed out. The remaining 2 females were let to mature and their tops have grown quite nicely into mothers that are giving clones off every three weeks. So, this works for me: UBTT on the originals, clone the tops, sex the plants, destroy the males keeping the female tops to use for mothers.

Clones started in rockwool cubes places in humidity dome

Nice Rjl thanks for sharing the pics. Have you harvested one yet interested in what the taste/smell//high is like ?

thanks. Here are pics of the most mature of the 2 female afghan's on day 18 of 12/12 light cycle using 2 150W HPS fixtures from sun systems.

Thanks, cool there looking good on there way for sure.
