Have you flowered her out yet? She’s a keeper?

Not this one. I have another one flowering now that looks like a keeper, so I’m trying to clone a branch off that one in week 5 flower. See how it goes.
I got a cut of JR Tokin cherry Paloma that I am keeping as a mother and cloning off of. So I just got an aero cloner and starting my clone journey

Good luck, hope it goes well! Week 5 is full of bloom nutrition and starting to lean out on nitrogen which will make out for some nice roots. Just expect some funky growth on the reveg.
I loved aero cloning. Was getting some nice fishtail roots. I did not like the transition to soil afterwards. Was getting 90-95% rooted, then all went downhill. Keep your system clean and lower temps.
Everyone has their own way to clone and I’m still experimenting myself with different methods. I recently tried Canna root plugs and pre soaked them in a sample of azos beneficial bacteria and some B vitamin. I think I found my method of success….

Thanks for the tips. I plan to put into coco when ready.

I truly don’t understand when in the grow process you do this. I understand the process of creating the clone, but how do you have any idea at that stage if the plant is a “keeper”? Or do you just clone everything and toss the clones of non keepers later? Is there a “best” time to cut a branch for cloning?
Thanks for any feedback

The crescendo pictured I am cloning before flower in case it is a keeper. The cherry Paloma is an elite cut I purchased and grew out, so I know this a keeper. The other crescendo I am cloning in flower, looks like a winner, so I’m trying to save a cut of it in case it turns out as good as it looks.
Typically one would cut clones from all their plants before flower and keep the best plant determined after harvest. Discard the rest

There is a lot of good reads on the website if you’re interested. My main take from the article is 6 months from planting a seed, the plant will evolve into it’s final form and this plant will continually be the same after this point.
Another article I read was about lovin in her eyes. Apparently she hunts the seed packs and can pick plants when very small by looks and smells that most people won’t pick up on. You learn what characteristics to not look for and what works best for yourself….example height issues, lanky plants…. Personally I have only run into a couple “unicorns” from seed that tick all the boxes. Unfortunately was not cloning at that time.
