High everyone!!
hopefully this is the right place to ask my question...I have a plant currently in flower...about a week to 10 days into flower i broke a small branch off the lower stem and stuck it in some clay pellets and water and kept it with the 'parent' plant which has been flowering about 3-4 weeks (the original/parent started in a DWC 2-bucket system and took ill during a nute change and nursed her (Celeste btw) back to health in coco with canna nutes but didn't go to 12/12 until i knew she'd make it about 3 weeks later and did not keep accurate notes because i thought she'd die so...)

i guess my question(s) are what to do next with the cutting and could i maybe try a lollipop(?)

i'm open to suggestions (nothing too elaborate pls)
I know she has some nutrient/feed issues by the looks of her but again wasn't sure the 'cutting' would survive...and will address it based on suggestions.

Top it just above the second nug on the bottom, put it into 24hrs on cycle under a cfl, feed nitrogen, keep it at 24hrs on for a week then back to 18/6, let it reveg for a month or two and there is your next grow :)

If the cutting is in flower, then you need to take the flowers off and reveg it on 18/6 with veg nuits, that's if you want keep a cutting, or let it flower out with the other plant and see what it will produce.

Don’t take the flowers off. If you do then you just have a stick in the soil. They will die on their own and tips will grow from underneath.

Monster crop: reveg flowering clones. 12-16 days to root in bubbler, Bad ass clones , I only do monster crops now.
24/7 light take longer to root. Longer to veg but once they take off, hold on!!

It's the way I've always done it when a cut needs to be re-vegged, I find the flowers take to long to turn over to re-vegging and hold the cutting back, so I take them off. New shoots normally shoot from where the fowers were cut off.

In this case it's up to you how you go, it can be re-vegged, or left to finish flowering. if you want a cut from it, you will have to re-veg to take a cut.[/QUOTE]

I always leave the flowers on. Many many branches shoot up from underneath each flower site. When you cut it i don’t think you can get many branches but to each his own..

ANY time I have a broken branch, I just stick it about 4 inches into a pot full of potting soil or pro mix, keeping it watered daily...but not sopping wet...make sure it has drain holes. In a week or two you will have another growing plant. No muss, no fuss. You can also put it in a glass of water, although it has a better chance of rotting if it sits in water for too long.
