different internode spacing

alright... i've been doing some experiments with cloning and i am getting better at it, success rate was really good the last time 9/10.
so, as i took clones from different plants from lower branches of the same strain, i observed that there are unequal internode spacing as the clones grew, contrary to growing from seed. it seems like one shoot is coming out from one side with the fan leaf at a time followed by another only one shoot coming out after and so on.

from seed the shoots come in pairs with the fan leafs on the opposite sides as plant grows.


why is this happening? does it decrease/increase the yield compare to more unifrom growth?

anybody has experience with this and how would you advice to get a more uniform growth if its needed.

The clone will eventually grow normally but it takes time to establish the rot system.

Seeds start out growing small fan leaves but most of it's growth is in the roots to establish a healthy plant. All of my clones start out the same way and eventually grow more uniform and symetrical.

You gotta remember that you are basically putting this cutting under as about as much stress as possible. So it takes time to recover and grow properly. I don't think there is anything to correct it in the beginning besides normal watering, feeding, and proper light. Just treat it like you would any of your other plants and it will correct itself.

its a little bit different... take a look at these pics. on the first the spacing is symetric on the second picture its asymetric
so which one is better... and what are the advantages of either one. and why does it happen, the clone comes from the symetric mother and becomes asymetric.

anyone? any quick thoughts on this?
