When taking clones, what happens to the wound?

My plants are about 2 months now and I believe I can start taking clones. I am slightly lost at how clones work. I know you should always take cuttings from the lower branches.

When cutting for clones what happens to the stem/spot where you cut?
Does it regrow?

I plan on taking cuttings every two weeks, anybody have their opinions/help for me.

Thanks

The stem heals over. Like if you were to chop a branch off a tree, it does not just grow back.

You can take cuttings from anywhere you like, people will often top their plants and root out the top of the plant they just chopped off.

So if it doesn't heal does this mean the plant will need height space?
So you would work your way from the bottom up? (lets say after a few cuttings the, the bottom of the plant all you should see is the main stem(bald)?

Hey man

You can take clones from lower branches and other branches will keep popping off and re-branching, or you can do the same at the top and you will be "topping" your plant, causing it to grow multiple heads where there was only one. Either way you win... generally depends on what you're trying to accomplish. If you just want some clones, but want to keep your momma tall, then take from lower branches. If you want clones AND you want to help the momma bush out, top it!

I don't follow the first question. when you cut a stem off a plant it heals, siple as that, the only way i could conceive of not healing, would mean fungal infection or some bad joojoo and the plants probably gonna end up dying, i've never experienced a cut on a plant not healing over.

You can do whatever you like. Some plants might get a bit stressed depending on whether they are good genetics or just shabby nonsense, but you can take your clones all from one side, all fron the top, all from the bottom, whatever, cannabis is a hardy motherfucker and will take a hell of a beating before she complains.

I think what he meant to ask was, if the stem heals over as opposed to growing a new branch in the same spot?

YES! I was lost at finding my words.

Well to answer the question you seem to be posing: Like I said, if you top the plant you will help to deal with the height rather than to encourage more vertical growth. Just take the top nodes off for clones whenever it gets too tall.

When cloning.... whats the best temp, Humidity, and how strong of nutrients should be given?

To be honest there probably is an "ideal scenario" however i have never had thermometers or humidity reader things, or been aware of how strong the feeding was, often just plain water with vegging plants for me, i only pay attention once in flowering, veg has enver eemed a trouble for me, but the clones always act the same and do as they have to do (right up until i pull my favourite trick, that is to say i get too laxy for my own good and all my plants suffer for a bit )
