What's wrong with these clones??!

It works. Probably about the same as 18 or even 16. I read about 4 years ago 21/3 for clones. Never did any experiments to compare with other cycles. Read 21 hours so thats what i have allways done and they root fine. Side note i prefer seeds since i discovered mainlining. Now the only time i clone is if its for someone else.

Dynamo does mainlining not work for clones? I've read about it a bit but haven't tried it

when you top a clone it dosnt produce 2 mains. the closest node to ware you top it becomes the dominate. the purpose of mainling is a flat even canopy of identical tops and clones just will not grow that way. grow weed easy has a mainline tutorial and I think they mention why it dosnt work so well with clones with pics included,

I'll add that to my need to reads! And that's really good info on clones cause my first grow I primarily used lst and super cropping with my last set of clones and was thinking of trying topping on these gals when they are ready but this saves me a week of recovery and disappointment thanks for the info.

I know seedlings grow asymetricaly i cant remember what its called when they lose there symetry. Was just tring to find what its called and came across these pics figured its just as good lol.
One pic is of a clone with a leaf and a node on one side and a couple inches up a leaf and node on the other.
The other is a toped seedling leaf and nodes grow opisit one another.
