self-topping clone

I grew some seeds out (serious seeds bubblegum) in search of a suitable mom. Took clones from 6 different plants, all of the plants grown from seed were "normal" but all the clones of this 1 plant always grow to about 4-5 inches and the shoot apical meristem stops throwing out leafs (or anything at all) then makes the lower branches grow instead (exactly as if it was topped.) I though it was pretty cool, any one know what causes it? Will all clones from this plant be like this? So far 2/2 have been.

Cool...I might order that just to see if it will do it again for me.Please keep us updated.

Hey glad to see someone else growing bubblegum, Im actually growing bubblegummer but from wat i hear same thing different company? Anyways i have 3 large clones now flowering, 3ft .31/2, and one little over 4ft and then 4 small clones from them lol about foot tall each there in week 3 of flowering. I notice this strain likes to Branch out like that,all 3 of the bigger plants natuarly branched out like that I am keeping a offline journal and plan to move everything online. mybe i can get a few pics up in meantime

EDIT< also my lights have been keept a little high above the plants due to burning problem so they have stetched quit a bit but my bushy clone looks like wat your talking about (man im baked cant type or think =D )

Since I was asked to update-

I had to cull the 2 clones that were doing this. They kept "topping" themselves and never grew strong, ending up really scraggly looking so I just tossed them for more space. Looks like I just got a bad branch off the mother though; I flowered her (to replace the ones I culled) and she grew out fine, have some clones of her hopefully from safer branches *fingers crossed*
