Whats up with these clones? 6wks old 7" tall 11+ nodes, 'crazy' looking

Cut These Violator Kush clones 6 weeks ago from plants that were 11 weeks into veg. Put them into root riot plugs. 3 weeks under 50w T5 24\0. Then 3 weeks in FFOF soil under under 150w of T5 18\6.

I topped em about a week after they went under the stronger light. I was planning to put them outside in May but now they look like a mess. Idk if they're trying to flower or what. Should I just hope that they recover and bush out, or maybe I should just ditch em altogether and start some new seeds? Forgot to add that one of the two VK's that I took cuts from turned hermi and I didn't label them so I don't know which clones came from where.. I think I'm gonna just get rid of them.. Any thoughts?

thanks, peace

well only thing i see is that they been toped, makes them bush out like, notice the 2 colas ?

Thanks for the reply man. I hear ya. but I topped the 'mothers' and they didn't look anything like this. They looked like this..

Nice even growth.. These clones just look strange to me, being all bunched up at the bottom of the stem, even though I'm speaking from exactly zero experience.. Maybe I'll just cut all those nodes off and transplant them deep to cover all that, put some rooting compound on where I make the cuts, little experiment type thing.. Still gonna pop some new beans though, I'm just not comfortable with situation.

peace

Dude it's just a mature mj plant. Its bonsai'ing bro. Mother that bitch. I had a god bud clone that turned into a mini tree.

Just wait and see that happens. Don't kill it

Stick it under a couple 23w Cfls and see what happens

Sounds good, but I'm not exactly sure what bonsai'ing is... Plus I've got several of these clones that all look similar, and with the uncertainty of whether they are genetic hermi's or not, I'm not looking for a mother.

The thought I had was to chop all those little nodes off, cover them in rooting compound and bury them up to the gills when I transplant. But now that you mention bonsai, I'm thinking maybe I should top them again right above where all this bottom growth is instead. Maybe all those little nodes will grow out, there's like 6 or 7 tiny nodes on most of the them so they should bush out nicely if it works. Or try both methods and see what happens.
Still gonna sow some seed though to be sure I have something for the summer before it get too far into the season.. thanks again

PS got them under 14000 lumens of 6500k t5 18\6 for now

the plants in the first pic look perfectly fine. Don't spazzz out and overthink this growing thing. just grow it out.

looks like any topped clone ive seen

get em closer to the light if possible

Clones by nature are not going to start out like a seed sprout, they are gonna be bushy looking. Yours look totally normal to me

That's reassuring, thanks.

"Clones by nature are not going to start out like a seed sprout, they are gonna be bushy looking"

Pretty much sums it up lol! thanks man.

Still a little worried that one of the 'mothers' went hermi, but the more I think about it the more I believe I contributed to that.(I topped em a day before going into flower to keep the height down + the 36 hrs of darkness might not have helped)

peace

ps I topped them again, and have the t5's buried
