got given two clones from a mate..named them mary and martha :mrgreen: they were on a 24hr photoperiod and about 3inches wen i got them.he said to jus chuck them outside and they would bud out coz at the time i had no lights or bud:lol:... after a couple weeks on my window sill i noticed they were starting to bud...well they finshed budding at around half afoot tall and i thought well fuck!?:???: im gonna harvest like a quarter oz?.. if that!?:shock: so i decided to repot and see what happend if i let them do there own thing..it started out with heaps of weird one and three leaf growth then slowly back to normal.i ended up supplementing the sunlight with a 400w mh wen they flowered and it seemed to help heaps.. the buds were dense and hard.yes they were bushy as fuck and had multiple colas everywhere!!:hump: here are some pics i took along they way...all my mates used to crack up wen they saw them on the sill..but wen they were 3.5ft tall and all bud it was a different story24092009370.jpg21102009426.jpg21102009427.jpg21102009431.jpg04112009456.jpg21102009429.jpg16102009410.jpg11102009397.jpg18122009542.jpg18122009541.jpg23122009548.jpg23122009547.jpg03022010595.jpg24032010699.jpg05042010016.jpg05042010017.jpg05042010021.jpg21042010038.jpg11042010027.jpg05042010015.jpg05042010020.jpg04042010012.jpg05052010058.jpg04052010057.jpg02082010103.jpg02082010102.jpg27032010727-001.jpg

Damn. That's probably why people aren't recommending this...but is this the only issue with the method? Were there any other out of the ordinary traits of the plants that have gone through this method that caused problems?

Also done this quite by accident while sexing my plants to take clones. I have these babies outside and they are already two weeks into flowering. This shouldn't have happen soo soon. Most of them are under 3 foot tall with the tallest maybe 4. The internodes never stretched, they are so close they are practically on top of each other. I would hope this means very, very large and dense colas.

He clearly ran into other problems along the way. It takes a few days longer then normal cloning.

I'm here to learn and I do not see the problems clearly. Do you or anyone else for that matter have the answer? I'm curious as I have accidentally caused this to happen to one plant of mine. I'm afraid it will hermie and pollinate my other healthy plants.

i guess if u have stable genetics..then it shouldnt cause much fuss..but i wouldnt recommend it..as i said it was by accident and it was my first ever go at growin a plant of any sort...apart from the length of time it took..these plants were fine..no deficiencies...i think it was just stressfull for the plant to re vegitate hence all the weird intial leaf growth.and extra time..bud was just as good as the other clones that my friend had (same motherplant)..he jus had his waaaaaay earlier..lol

i have a diesel and ogrn like that. they are in veg and still alive. the problem i've heard with this is that the plant can become weaker and more suseptable(sp?) to molds and bugs, anyone else heard that?

ok you reveged a plant? We are only reveging clones for monster ccropping and its hardly different from regular cloning your all making this out to be a waaaaaay bigger deal then needed.

fuck it takes atleast a month or so just to clone then another onth for that girl to revert and then she'll start growing...but for a while your looking at a little bud that could have smoked lol...IMO this is too much down time...I use an aerocloner and that takes too long for me lol...

just top a FEW branches and LST like crazy you'll get bushes... basicly what most dont understand is the need for lower branches to be the same height as the main cola this will make the lower branches act like the main stem of a plant so if you top at the 3rd node you'll have six branches if you bend the top 2 downwards and let the bottom 4 catch up or pass the top they will then act like a main stalk..this means they'll branch like crazy grow super thick and you'll have a bush over a bean stalk..and with LST this way, only bending branches for a week or so, theres really no down time...this is how I've made all my mother plants and my huge bushes outdoors

are you joking kloset? a month+a month? i took my cuttings in may and im harvesting in a couple weeks. cuttings came at 21 days into flowering. that was with 30 days veg.

it literally took about 14 days for all to have roots and then a week later that little smokable bud your talking about isnt noticeable anymore and the new growth has tripled the size of the clone.

i took more clones 21 days into this next run and that was like mid july and they almost all have roots and some are growing new growth.

heres the best way i can differentiate the two methods ....

regular clones start as a tint plant and that plant will grow bigger and bigger

monster clones start as the small plant and in each of the nodes youll get new growth forming and each one of those 'new growth shoots' a whole new plant forms, similar to if you planted a seed in between each stem and stalk.

thanks for clarifying, i thnk others got confused by that also, so you didnt monster crop but your post easily leads us to think thats what you did that took 7 months.
