so.... top during veg..... clone during veg
thats it guys ???
You are going to get a ton of different answers. Everyone does it their own way. YOU need to ease up a bit and just experiment. I have cloned plants that were 4-5 wks into flowering. Now alot of people will say that u cant, but because I experimented, I know for sure that u can! I have a girl now, 3 wks into flowering, a wk ago, she got burned a bit on the top cola, so I cut a bit of it off. Now the top cola has gotten much larger and fatter since!
IMO, i would take cuttings from her still & if u want to top her, go right ahead. It might, it might not slow growth down for a day or so. U wont know untill u try it.
(also, when i do things like this, I keep a journal so that I can go back and chk on things later to see if it was or wasnt successful)
