ive recently read about taking clones from a plant 21 days into its bloom cycle. then after it or if it has root veging the plant then flowering. from what i understand its best to root them in bubbleponic cloners and it takes longer to root than normal clones, however once rooted there is no need for topping or lst or hst training as it will grow many branches and become a beautiful bush with many topps.
is this all correct? ive had people tell me it produces many hermies?

Also it takes longer to root, how long and must be rooted under 20/4 or 24/0 so that it doesnt continue flowering?
Veg time, how long as it needs to revert back to vegative growth before put back in flower?
Why does a monstercropped plant produce more branches than a regular clone?
Last a normal clone topped and trained in my set up takes 1 week to 10 days to root, and roughly 3 weeks of topping and training pluss recovery time before i switch to flower, for a total of say 5 weeks from cutting to flip. A monster cropped plant how long will it take total from cutting to root, to reveg, then veg to time of flip? Is it worth it? Is hermafroditing a problem w/ this method?

PLEASE HELP AS IM INTERESTED ON TRYING THIS METHOD, BUT WOULD LIKE TO HEAR FROM PEOPLE HAVE OR DO USE THIS METHOD!!!


THANK YOU FOR ANY INFO OR EXPERIENCES!!

my mate, I have had to a few times, you can take that late but..... For me the extra time getting it back to veg isn't worth it it will root as quick but might take a month or more to start vegging properly. They won't be more bushy as a standard but occasionally.......

It takes about 4-5 weeks to reveg a flowering clone. Even after a good veg the plant will end up only being 3/5's of the original plant.

I feel monster cropping is best just to get clones from the original monster-cropped clone.

If you're doing this to save a strain you can't get again, then it's worth it. If your goal is to just get another plant of the same strain.....you'd be better off just ordering more seeds.

I have been doing this too and I find it goes well with my cycle. I guess it all depends on what your trying to do. I always like my plants to have more than one top and this helps create the canopy I like to have. Also these clones like that flower fast from already being in flower.
