early for flowers to be coming in, as in your last shot. I mean we're just past solstice ... my eyeballing and vague recollection of the process tells me it's at least a month early for that, if not more.

But then again, maybe getting a headstart like that will turn out to be a good thing

and it's going fast. I hope they flower normally even without the full set of leaves.

Depending on strain, exposure to light, etc.

We're traveling too much and in Colorado, it's cheaper to buy it than grow it.

I guess this is a common thing, taking clones during flowering stage, reveging and grows
very bushy. I did it by accident, the clones were taken two days before the flowers showed up.
Monster cropping is usually done 3rd or 4th week of flower. Mine was done in the first few days.
My theory is: the mother plant was in flower, probably about a week but just not showing yet
so when the cuttings were taken, the flowering hormones were already present.

Knowing this, I am trying a third generation. I just took 3 clones of this current crop and will
do the same with those if they take.
I am hoping they will grow enough vegetation to put outside with the others before fall.

...very few buds and scrawny. I always though they were hermaphrodites or some kind of mutation. Both were out door grows. I have a hydro system now and havent had these pop up.

Round one monster cropped clones



Clone in 7 gal. pot:


Clone in 5 gal. pot, the internode spacing is better on this one:

I put them outside in the shade but forgot about them, got too hot.

Monster cropping is relatively new, at least what is documented. Lots of bad info out there.
The first round probably wouldn't have made it anyway, I had cut off all of the buds (some of the bogus
info I found) you should cut off all the lower buds but leave the top one. The other leaves are cut
back to slow transpiration, loss of moisture from leaves. I did that this round and probably need to cut the
leaves back some more on two of them.


Started another round, 3 more clones started July 13th.

Your plants might have been stressed in some way. Maybe cropping a little to early. Buds should still be good - give your plants some good plant food like Roots Organics.

Buds are stacking more, still only 3 leaves all the way up on both plants but one is
about a week ahead of the other

twitter changed their links and the pics no longer show up, but you can click on link.

These two plants have kept 3 leaves all the way through flower. As you can see,
buds are stacking nicely.
