Are you serious have you ever grown before ?
I get four killer colas instead of four yeah thats where my desperation comes in....are you serious...ever heard of Uncle Ben?
You are one of the two that gave constructive comments +rep ...unbelievable....do they even smoke?So I guess you never top your plants, hmmm?
Of course you can clone tops. Some say branches lower down on the plant have more natural rooting hormones in them and therefore root faster. You can clone any part of the plant that includes a growth node.
this is in fact why a lot of people do use their tops as clones, like you said, why top and then just toss the perfectly good cutting in the trash.. but like someone else said too, just make sure it has atleast one node on her.. and also like he said, alot of people will say to use a lower branch, but in reality, any part of the plant that has atleast one node will do for a clone..
I just have never cloned them...and I had that dilema of the travel so...thanks for the input...by the way the dna genetics fem lemon skunk is doing great!
