Does anyone replant the "top" after topping?

Title pretty much says it all. I picked up a clone last week and just topped it for the second time. I have been just sticking the little piece directly into the soil and dropping a couple of drops of water on it. The first one I did looks like it may actually take. Not growing really, but not shriveling up and dying. I was just interested to hear people's takes on this.

I've done it before.
It's not any different than taking a clone from somewhere else off the plant. Works just fine.

I like to clone every seed I pop, just in case it's something special-I usually do it with the first top, when I start mainlining the plant. Works well.

I root them then switch those up with 12:12 light to sex a mother...then take clones from there when needed.

I took this mini cut from the top of one of my Widows

Do the clones you take from the top keep symmetrical growth? That would be convenient for manifolding the clone as well.

for the most part they're not exactly symmetrical, but they do start to grow like a mature top would sooner than usual alternating the nodes.
they should still be ok for manifolding.
