actually my first set of clones died because I got sick and didn't make it down to water them in time I had to take new clippings for the same plant and it was already starting into its photosynthesis pistol mode but she still beautiful, and it will be quite a while before she actually gets a shot at dying quicker ... when you have women tied / wired up in the basement as I do you have to come down in the proper manner of time in order to feed them, bathe them, tell them what you expect of them, making sure you manipulate their limbs it keeps the light in the right places especially if you're using fluorescence or LEDs and they are healthy and well, otherwise they don't same to live long
