wait a couple months and the newest hormones, which will root the easiest, will be from the lower branches and get older as you go up the plant and in turn will likely be the harder to clone.

see though, colas are made up of the meristem and branches, so it should be putting out little branches at least even if its just focusing on growing up and not outwards.


How far is the light away and what kind? have any pics? How many nodes does it have?

I've got a similar problem. Mine has leaves on each side, but no real branches, and only two nodes. I think it's from the plant stretching for the light, seems to make sense.

Ok.. It has very tiny branches growing.. What size should these be before I can cut one or two off?

I like to wait until it's got 8 nodes are so on it before taking cuttings and that the branches growing are starting to alternate nodes. Let your plant mature a bit more before trying to clone it, they'll be easier to manage/grow.

New strong healthy growth, preferably a growth tip, from the bottom regions of the plant. Aim for softer stems and about 3-5 inches of stem length.

these are my moms, by doing it this way you will insure that you can take many cuttings( sorry bout the shitty quality pic, taken with a piece of shit iphone.)

So I suppose a 12/12 from seed plant with 302 watts of light isnt a good candidate for cloning?
