Cloning a Top

Is is possible to top your plant, and then clone the top?

I know that sometimes clones have a tough time rooting when they have a lot of leaf substance so I may have to do some cutting...

any thoughts?

I really don't see why it wouldn't work... anyone ever cloned a top before?

No it does not work. You use side branches to clone.

im pretty sure it will work also just get a good lenght clone.....

I'm pretty sure it won't...i've tried, and i know other's have tried too. There's a reason that we take clones from the branches and not the top.

i clone all my tops.

why would you say it will not work...

When i top my plants i top the very new growth so there is nothing realy to make a clone of.

But if u cut lower i guess it could work its a growth tip.

Ya i suppose if you take a long enough cut it will work, but i do the same as you, just cut the very top of it off, with very little growth on it, sometimes i get lucky and get the FIM technique...lol.

when i cloned my babies.....they were only like 2-3 inch tall and all of em rooted...wut u could do too is top the one you got growin, clone the top and turn it into ur mother,then take cuttings from ur momma when shes ready to get clipped.......

Yes .....you can clone the tops.....it works....

Thank you to all who responded. Hella fast! =)
