the girls are looking thirsty!
you could still maximize tops. Just do a sogLet me rephrase that. With "my" cabinet, lights, pot sizes, etc. a bush isn't what "I" will ever be going for 12/12 from seed. I'm squeezing 6 plants into 3sq ft.
I've topped a few plants removing only the uppermost growth on a number of colas in my grow and will be using them as a comparisson. I topped them 2 days into 12/12 and they are a long flowering sativa strainI mean no offense, but you are mistaken. I remove only half a centimeter of my plants tops with a nail clipper. Doing this allows the lower nodes to be exposed without sacrificing new growth. I will include a diagram here:

the reason for this is that your plant requires less recovery, while still prioritizing growth to the internodes, allowing for a great bush, EVEN in 12/12. I will prove this in my grow thread on saturday, when I post my LST shots after only 4 weeks from seed
7pm to 7am
correct..............how old is it? they take a while to mature, although i figure a clone would be mature and ready to flower
