Yeah.I'm glad i took em.Some stems are so THICK man.I've used some ROOTIT! cloning gel and i'll be trying some clonex next time.Let's see how that goes.If all goes well i'll be having some nice plants..12 clones so far..I'll be transplanting some of the bluebies these days as well..More to come guyz.I had no time for pics,i'll be uploading tho!

Good shit mate, sounds like it worked well :-D
Well healthy plants healthy clones right :D ? I did clone some shoots that were not really developed and i'm a little curious if they'll root.They were future lateral branches that had not a full node formed.How do you clone your plants ? And do you cut the edges of the leaves like everyone does ?I can't find a reason to say if it's good or bad.Critical has some BIG fan leaves man.And when i say big i mean bigger than my palm..probably 1/2 more than my palm.I've also been checking on my autos..one of them is almost ready.The othe one has almost every pistil white,yet it's triple in size budwise.Very very good structure,very compact and very nice phenos (Green-O auto).I'll be getting some close shots on the bluebies tomorrow.No preflowers yet..just healthy plants :)

This is true mate, well you'd hope anyway :)
I always take a clone from the smaller branches to see how it roots, most times they have actually rooted first lol. I clone mine by taking lower dominant branches and the flimsier ones leaving the top to keep growing. I snip on an angle and snip the end point lengthways to promote root growth. Dip it in the gel and put it either in rockwool or seed raising mix :) piece of piss! I dont usually snip off parts of the leaves either, i just remove the big shade leaves.
Your girls are sounding awesome mate, get some pics up so we can see :-D

Ah well. I did the same thing :D . I used some rapid rooting jiffies.They should work.I've just read that cutting the edges makes the plant to transpire less and promotes root growth.I would go ahead and do it as well..The shade leaves were removed as well :D. I'll get some sleep (it's 05.25 and i'll still be working until 07.00) so when i wake up,i'll be getting those pics of everything ;). I've also topped for 4 main colas,which means just above the second node,not including the node above the cotyledons.I'll probably let them veg for a week tops,and flip then or a little sooner.We'll see..!!

Yeah ive read the same thing about less transpiration but ive never had to do it, mine have always rooted without it :)

I know mate.I'm at work now and i shouldn't be uploading any kind of those pics we want .I took em already but my pc had a major crash and it's probably my graphics card.I handed over to a technician and i'm hoping for the best :D. I'm getting close to harvest my auto..(well at least closer) and i'm giving a little time for the topped plants to respond.I'll be flipping them after a good watering-feeding :) . I'll make those pics happen mate.Give it a little time :D

I got my cloning machine,which i loved.So easy to do :D . Well it might be a lot less DIY but whatever :) . I took about 18 clones of bluebies and 4 of Mighty Grape.Will see what's what in a while ( male or female ).I'll update guyz,probably tomorrow night!

Yeah man.I'm seeing new growth in less than 8 hours..they ARE vigorous and topping does not STRESS at all ( another false paradigm that many follow ) . 4 colas is the way to go :)
