when can i top my almost 6 week old plant. i was told to do this if i want a bushy plant and something short. its been in 24 hour light cycle. how do i start to flower. i heard put in total darkness for 36 hours straight and it will send flower to flower cycle

You can top it now if you want, and to induce flowering you need to put it on a 12/12 light cycle

ok cool and to do that i just cut the very tip right? anything else i should know? btw is there specific way you would recommend to start flowering or do i just randomly start the 12/12 cycle one day. will it stress the plant out?

Just change the light cycle when you're ready, you don't need to ease into it, it won't stress the plant

ok awesome thanks for your info. btw i wanted to clone a few plants from this before i start flowering. is there a very inexpensive way of doing this?

i just topped it.....does the plant look healthy at all? for it being 6 weeks?

dont put the plant in the dark for 36 hours first. that will stress the hell out of it big time. just put your light on a 12 hours on and 12 hours off timer and dont change it once you set it. dont change the amount of hours and dont change what hours either. its very important that you stick with your light cycles you choose.

as for cloning i would try to make a DWC cloner. check youtube for vids on how to make them. or you could go with rockwool cubes and some rooting gel in a very shallow dish of water. both methods have always worked good for me.

btw ide really look into getting a small HID light like a 250 watt HPS for your main grow too. your not going to get very far with the light you got. good luck with your grow!

Great. Thanks for all your help i will definitely look into the several clone setups. Thanks again
