Cloneing advice

Hi everyone, I took a cutti g a few week ago and I think I have done it wrong. The top seems to be flowering, can I trim this as it is or is it best to trim the top flower of to alow the rest below to grow.

Had the plant you took it from started to flower? Was it an auto? What is the lighting schedule?

If you took it from a plant that had started to flower it will need to revert back to veg.
If it was an auto there is nothing you can do.
Your lighting schedule should be 18/6 or even longer light hours.

You don't want to trim anything off that right now. Let it develop decent roots first and it looks rather wet.

Also, it's hard to tell from those pictures but it looks like possible signs of mites.

It was took a plant that was in flower, I have had it under 24 hour but on a very low led bulb. I will leave it be as you say mate and check for mites they shouldn't be if so will treat ASAP.... Cheers.

You should have that under at least 100w T5 or similar light

no, you shouldn't. you do not want clones to try to grow. you don't want them in the dark, but a 20-30 watt cfl a couple of feet away is plenty of light for clones. too much light and they try to grow new leaves, you want them concentrating on growing roots.
taking a clone from a flowering plant is called monster cropping, and they produce very bushy clones, suitable for mothers most of the time, but they do have a harder time getting started, and will have at least a month of "reveg" time, producing weird leaves till the flowering hormone gets out of their system.
also, give them at least 6 hours of dark a day, dark is when plants shift to root growth in a normal environment

My clones have always done well under T5 and 18/6?
Am I doing it wrong?

I've always respected your opinion Roger, maybe this winter I'll try your method

it works for me. i've found if i give them too much light, i get more of them dying before they produce any roots to support the new growth they're pushing out

I do this often when sexing seed runs, it will be fine. It will display very odd growth with many 3 and 1 leaf blades. It will eventually grow normal. Like roger said, it will be very bushy and not the same structure as the mom.

Great advice everyone really appretiate it
