Hey guys I’ll post a pic soon but one of my ladies is getting YUGEEE. Basically started 2 seeds together (WW) and one of them after topping both grew four colas and reached for the sky!!

I SCROG’d, LST’d, topped and I have a very flat canopy except the main stem of one is about 10 inches higher than the other.

Two days ago I tied some garden string around it and I’ve been slowly bending it down. But even with my 7ft tent its starting to close the gap between itself and the light, and there’s no where else for it to go! And this thing has 4 colas (I’m guessing I FIMd instead of topped this one)

I tried to super crop and it just grew more (D’OH)

I don’t wanna say screw it and let it get burnt/bleached.

Also I’m not even in flower yet, idk WTF im gonna do!

I’ve never cloned before but my next thought was cut the top, clamp the stem so no air gets in, and put this baby in it’s own pot.

Is this a logical step? Or am I an idiot?

Help please!
 
I appreciate the response, im gonna have to look into this ASAP. If anyone has some direct info I’d appreciate it! I’m gonna research as quickly as possible

Just do what chance told you to do perfect advice.
 
Haha sorry guys I meant direct info for cloning! I’m reading about it now! I’m a little nervous but I’m gonna give it a try!!
 
Alrite guys after a few articles and threads I have a couple questions, all info is appreciated!!

1. Do I have to use cubes, or can I put it directly in soil (like a solo cup) and then mist until roots take place.

2. The top of the stem will be exposed, can I just clamp it off lol I mentioned earlier? Couldn’t find any official info on this.

3. I have room in my tent for the solo cup and another pot if needed, or do you guys recommend I go out and get a cheap bulb and humidity dome?

Just trying to make sure I do this right!

Still researching here. Thanks fellas!

Directly into soil in red cups. Use cloning gel. Buy a small bag of Xtreme Gardening Mykos. Scrape outer layer of stem off lightly, dip in gel and then Mykos. Into the soil. Do not overwater.
 
Alrite guys I’m gonna buy my supplies I appreciate all the help!

Last question tho, when I cut the top off the mother plant, so I clamp off the top so nothing gets inside? That’s the only thing I can think of doing.

I've always jus cut and let nature heal the cut end on the mother, and I've had pretty good luck rooting in a cup or vase with just water.

Just cut it and let it heal, a new shoot will take over as a top now(pictured)20181012_135622.jpg
 
Def some good ideas here . I like to super crop a second time if something is getting to tall for my area . Even with my auto

This auto was trying to grow tall fast and leave the colas behind . But did a second super crop just before budding so i would get as closa of even canopy as i could.
Good luck and happy growing !!
 
Here are some pics guys. Even with it pulled down still a good 4 inches taller! Used some tape on the splits but this girl is pretty much bent horizontal now. It’s gonna be a bit before I get stuff in to clone.

That is how it is done ...practice makes perfect but that will work
 
It’s gonna take longer to get my cloning stuff. I have to order it online. Could have gotten it all today but the local hydro store was just too much. I’m all for supporting local businesses and don’t mind paying a premium, but when they’re 2-3-400% more than what you can find online, it’s just ridiculous. I added up the costs of what I need, and I can keep it under 100$, I went to the store and after doing a little addition, I was looking at 350+.
