Growing clones

2 weeks ago I took 17 clones off my flowering plants, 14 out of the 17 have taken but won't it just grow long like a branch? How do I get them to bush out like a plant?? I have posted a pic of 1 so u can see what I have got.

Topping and training and time will make a bush, also the light intensity and pot shape/size have an effect on growth pattern,shape and size as well

So topping training and longer veg time with appropriate size and shape of pot and given enough spreaded light on the canopy and you will have your bush m8 lol

Top them

Thanx, not sure what I am going to with 14 clones, lol only have room for 3

Clones will all have the same genetics as the original plant but there's always a few that are obviously stronger than the rest. I always take at least twice as many as I need so I can keep the very best from each batch to actually grow out.

As far as branching the clone won't just grow straight up with no lateral growth if it's untopped. It should develope pretty much just like the original plant except that it will set single opposing branches from the beginning instead of pairs.

Add some humidity! Clones love lots! And like others said use techniques such as topping and lst and keep the light as close as you can without burning to stop it stretching.

top the host plants branches that you want to clone a week before you want to make the clone. This way when you clone it, it is already topped and ready to go.

Thanx for all the advice guys all 14 clones are growing strong. Just waiting for my new tent to arrive so I have room to grow them all.

Well these are the clones I kept. Going to veg them for 6 weeks then switch to 12/12.
