Taking Larger Clones ???

This is directed towards SOG growers mostly but whoever has knowledge is more than welcome to share. :) But like the title says, could you take larger clones from the mothers to produce larger yields? The usual clone height is anywhere from 3-8" right?.. Well if the mother plant(s) were large enough to take cuttings roughly 12" or so to start with, wouldnt this produce a much more sufficient yield? Idk, maybe I'm missing something.. any thoughts?

Are you talking straight to flower? Because, you can make the your yield as big as you want really, just by vegging longer. It would just save you some time.

Yes but that would eliminate the point of a SOG as he states in his post that is the nature of his operation.

Acctualy takeing lager clones is counter productive.
It would make sense to take them right?? they acctaully have a harder time rooting and produce stunted stressed plants.

My mistake. SOG doesn't just apply to a straight-to-flower operation; a veg stage can be implimented.

Yes it does i have been running one for quite some time not. Look up Al B Fuct a legend on this technique. The clones go straigh into budding after they rooted. The SOG technique is used for only a one cola grow no side branching. Which usually the lollipop technique is implied into the SOG.

I'm well aware of the method you are mentioning. It was my understanding that a Sea Of Green method simply meant there was a constant rotation of plants and a perpetual harvest. A fast one-cola-ed grow is just a way of utilizing it.

The one cola method is the sea of green method.

Ok yes i understand that. And everybody allowed to do there own tweeks. BUT the SOG method was intended on going straight clone to bud. Im not saying that some people dont veg there clones out a bit but originally this technique was NOT intended on doing so.

So is the final conclusion? larger clones are harder to root so it would cause too much stress?

This is correct.

You want the 'bark' just right for clones, not too soft like near the tip, nor too woody like on older growth. Firm, but still green.

"I" generally don't take clones smaller than 4" or larger than 8". But, that's just me.

Pretty much. The rest is just semantics and styles. Silly argument, you still end up with bud.

I do single cola at ~8". A friend prefers more like 12", also single cola. Just my style and his, but both basically the same.
