This clone is really getting big (what should I do?)

She’s a clone I cut months back and in the new 5x5 she is flourishing. At this point would you do anything to her or just let her carry on?

Take a cutting from the clone and clone it too. Maybe top it and use the topping. Like Kapt, I’m finding of super cropping if I don’t top one :love_you_gesture:

That clone isn’t getting big, when it grows 4 feet in one month, then it’s getting big. Yes that’s what one of mine did, now I don’t know what to do with it.

In relation to yours, I would cut the top off and use it for a cutting. Come down 3 nodes (where the leaves grow out of the stem) from the top of the plant, and use a sharp clean pair of scissors or secateurs to cut the stem about 1 inch under the leaf node. The cutting can become another plant and the parent plant will produce 2 main stems. two heads are better than one :slight_smile:

Alternatively just leave it and let it grow.
