Clone growing node and internodes too much?

Bushy little re-vegged "monster cropped" clones are a great start when growing with scrog nets IMO. Less chance of breaking large branches when bending them over trying to make a flat canopy later on.

Having a really bushy plant with many tops to start out with can be a huge benefit. I myself would actually keep pruning the main stalks and let the larfy stuff turn into the new branches. Keep spreading them out and preparing to fill up a net, all while FIM'ing every few days.

Then lolly pop the whole mess into a perfectly flat canopy right before flower. Keep trimming away any scragglers down below that won't get much light (popcorn) You'll easily double your harvest with a scrog net..

I never realize how much work and time consuming this needs. Especially time…. 7-8 months of time and when all done and finished, end up with 100g isn’t really a motivation unless you do it for personal. I don’t see how a business would benefit unless they were mass cultivating. A regular citizen trying to start in his home would never benefit for a long time. Especially for the unlucky ones that live in state that is frown upon. There’s no way a cultivator would benefit considering the risk he’s looking at. And yet; the punishment for cultivator is pretty serious. Really serious.

7-8 month's?? seems like a very long grow

A whole bunch of bud sites usually equals a whole bunch of small buds. I scrog, but all little shoots and weak branches get pruned.

When you clone a mature plant (already flowering), your clone will be mature right from the start. It won't veg like an immature clone/seedling would. You'll see exactly what you are seeing with your new clones. Really bushy, and mutated leaves/growth. It could take weeks or even longer to revert back to a true vegetative state (like you would normally expect if it wasn't already mature.) They just really want to be pollinated right now (horny), lol. They'll still grow and produce.

I wouldn't say it's a bad thing. Your doing pretty good, especially for a first grow? Many completely fail and end up with nothing. My first grows were all outdoor.. I dealt with mold and whole crops going bad for years before I started indoor growing. It was hit or miss but I still enjoyed it at the time, probably because it wasn't as much work to let nature handle it.

You have female "monster cropped" clones that look pretty healthy to me, something to work with.

The 48 hours is no big deal but don't let it happen too often. More of a concern would be any light leaks during the dark cycle.

This is today. FIM and Lolly is gonna require a good hour or 2. Maybe even 3 cause I got a lot more like this waiting.

Yeah that’s why I’m confused on info I read and what I am experiencing. These are gdp. The mother was started from seed on July 16th. She just got harvest like last week. I got 4’other ones from same seedbank and they hadn’t showed purple or cloudy trics yet. Some but not as much as I want it to be but that’s why I’m confused cause they were started 3 weeks after. So beginning of august and they look like they have a good month or two to go.

So anyone interested in update? I am having issues with the monster crop... I don't know what happened but they were budding and then stopped and started producing sugar leaves and only sugar leaves as if they were revegging again but light cycle hadn't changed nor any light Leakes as they are in same box as my new ones who's are flowering.
