Will Topping Create More Potential Clone Sites ???

I am wanting to get a lot of clones off each of my Skunk Kush feminized plants.

Will topping create more potential cloning sites, thus creating more clones from each plant?

Thanks for your input.

i think you'd do better by tying down. all of those little pop-corn bud sites will turn into potential cuts....

you shouldn't have a problem with getting enough cloning sites since you're take the branches and even with plants that aren't too big, you can still get a good amount. plus they grow back after a week or two, so if you just keep alive it/them in the vegetative state, you can continually get clones from it. to answer your question though, yes, topping will give you more sites to cut from if done correctly.

EDIT: I agree with the post above me, there wouldn't be very much shock using LST

Yes, topping will give you more clone sites as it forces the plant to bush out. Plus when you top it you have your first clone.

dont ever reveg a plant. It fucks with the genetic integrity. The lines offspring will be alright but the plants themselves will likely be of reduced quality. tropical sativas might fair better being native to the equator which allows them to survive several years. Indicas however must produce seed to survive if mother nature decides its time for hell to freeze over and water in plant cells freezing tends to expand. annual plants aren't genetically programmed to go from bloom to veg. Forcing them "confuses the hell out of them" and for a few weeks (when they finally start growing again) the strange mutated leaves that are grown attest to this.

And then 2 more tops grow out from that, and so on and so on ..........

Yes, top away.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge with me. If my feminized skunk kush plants veg for three months in total, and were topped at almost 2 months into vegging, can I expect to get 100 clones from each plant?

Thanks.

Have no idea.

Do you have 100 growing tips on your plant?

Great answer!

you best mother plants will come from a clone you will be able to get it alot bushy after it root pinch the tops till the sides catch up to the top and then as you clone from it it will just keep getting denser but it will take a long time to get a plant that will give a 100 clones i have had my 1 mothers going for over a year and am no were near close to that maybe 20 at a shot every 2 weeks off each

20 is about max for mine also. Little over 1YO and cut/topped many times.

12 decent clones is more the norm for this plant.

try FIMming thats what i do to my plants, its less stress then topping and does the same thing and caz it recover and starts growing quicker again so u will get more clones faster.
