can I get a clone from this plant?

[Guest]

it's about 4 weeks in veg., if I can get a clone, can somebody cirlce the node/stem in mspaint or whatever as to where I'm supposed to take a cut, from what I read I'm supposed to take a 45 degree angle cut with a clean exacto knife cleaned in isopropyl alcohol, and as close to the branch as possible? (not sure about this).

I want to get a clone now, since this is a first grow and I dont' know if I'm going to mess it up with too much nutrients,etc..

Cut the top off below the third node... one clone ... and 2 tops on the plant!

you want to cut a part of the plant that has a growing tip and some leaves one node down that you can cut off.

use a scalpel, not scissors.

I have labeled where you should cut and where you should shave off the leaves. Dont cut away too much as this is where most of the roots will start to develop. You can then cut the bottom at a 45 degree angle as a finishing touch. I also scrape the sides of the stem ever so slightly with a scalpel to form additional root sites.

is it ok to start LST on this plant, I just bend the main branch like in this picture, right?

Yep you've got it!

You may want to bend the plant gradually though. Unless the plant is very flexible, I would do that over a period of time. When you are pulling the plant over and you feel resistence, you can tie it off there. A couple days later you can get a little more until you get the desired bend....

Remember after you take the clone, that they need low lights enviroments. Preferably with a humidome. If you can't find one of those mist them 2-3 times a day.

I think I might have to try and LST my next batch of clones..
