Did I just get myself into a monstercrop?

[Penniless Punk]

ust got a couple of clones for dirt cheap (judging by the shape the poor things are in, it's no wonder. He didn't even know the ph of his soil when asked. I felt like I was rescuing abused kittens or something.)

Anyhow, I haven;t settled them into their final homes yet because I just noticed what appears to be a flowering tip on one of the Bubba Kush plants.

My question is this: If this plant is budding right now (it's only like 6 inches tall with maybe 3 nodes. IF it IS flowering it must have been part of someone's 12-12-from-day-one SoG is my guess) and I put her back into veg. Will I get the same monstercropping effect I would from a clone that was taken from a flowering mother and revegged?

The reason I ask is because I'm currently doing a spiral LST setup.
You can check out my setup here:

I might do a different sort of LST on a monstercropped plant because of the multiple main stems at the top. So if you know what the outcome of revegging a small flowering plant is..

Here's the plant(sorry bout the blurry):



Appreciate hearing anyone's insight. Thanks and smoke on..

Watch out that your gift isn't coming with hitchhikers. It's wise to treat every brought in clone as if it had bugs regardless of if you think so or not.

Some strains are tempermental and will start a mild preflower when cloned but I'd be inclined to agree that they were taken at or after 12/12. I doubt they'll exhibit what you're thinking having not fully converted.

It probably is, that little preflower site will start reverting back to normal and while it does, it will make one leaf at a time and a lot of shoots making more one leafs, then when its done you will see the normal 3-7 fanned leaves. It will be very bushy in a month.

Mikell: Good call. I'll give em the 120 degree water bath real quick to sterilize. I wonder how old they have to be to handle that?

JohnKimble: Thanks for the feedback. Part of me hopes you're right, because I'd love to see the monstercropping effect first hand. But another part of me wants to avoid dealing with plants of different heights. BTW..nice pic. How many tops is that?

I'm not sure at all on that having never done it. Common treatments are contact insecticide dips (isopropyl, SM90, insecticidal soap, conventional pesticides, etc) or low dose systemic. Unrooted cuttings are preferable and less likely to harbour pests/pathogens. Investing in a scope or jewelers loupe allows you to inspect cuts as they come in (though apply treatment regardless) as it will familiarize you with the process of pest indentification.

I think 10 tops now, they are very small still close to the nodes, but they are gonna grow out. Its quite a lot for a 4 inche plant, then those tops makes new nodes every few centimeters. Prob gonna have to prune the hell outa these.
