When I see cloning threads and videos, they grab a lower stalk and they are simply a couple of leafs. I do not have a single branch that does not have a flower in the crotch. Are they ok to use or am I screwed?
You need a growing tip to clone--leaves do not clone. I don't understand your question about branches with flowers in the crotch? How far into flowering are you? The further a plant is into flowering, the harder they are to clone.
If yer looking to clone the bush that I saw in yer other post then yeah yer screwed. That doesn't look like it has any viable tips that yu could cut for cloning. It's not impossible but it would be a bear to do if yer not real experienced with cloning. Yu should have taken cuttings from that one week b4 yu switched it over for flowering
Best to leave some Bud on..I like to leave the lower 1/3 and then place in Veg stage ( 24 hr lighting is best) and induce High Nitrogen...plant will start to toss single blade leafs and then grow out of it...Hope this helps
