Is it possible to make a clone from the part removed when topping ?
Any opinions appreciated 👍
Yep it's possible, I have clones of a Topping and also from accidental breakages when doing LST, from autos, how good they'll end up being I'll have to wait and see but they look alright
I run mostly seeds but the few clones that I have taken have been mostly tops. Sometimes they take a bit longer to root I’m told but have nothing to compare to. They grew just fine.

Imo it's the best part of the plant to root, stem should be thick and green.
Cut all large leaves in half
Cut base of stem at 45% angle and dip it in honey, if you don't have any rooting gel.
You root the cutting in perlite or a cool soil mix, coco etc
Keep humidity high ( could use a sandwich bag over the pot or put a glass upside down over the top of the cutting ) and refresh the air every day should root in 2-3 weeks
Use a low watt light, strong light to close to the cutting will kill the clone
Does not work on autos
@jacks_farm thank you very much.
Would you be inclined to veg a little longer than usual, in order to get a decent sized 'topping' ?
Time to grow old disgracefully.

Your welcome mate
Yes, infact you can top a plant a few shoots down and root them, that's what I am going to do with my current grow, going for some 4-6" long clones
The bottom of the plant fans out and you remove the top and root it
you get a very large clone in 3 weeks and a very bushy plant. Win win
As long as its green and healthy you will be fine, after topping the plant it will stop drinking for a few days so becarefull not to over water them
Best to take the cutting a day after watering the plant ( if your growing in soil)
@jacks_farm brilliant, thank you 👍

If things go to plan, I will be toping 5 plants on Sunday
Tried to get a good picture of one of my plant today, so you can get better idea of what I am going to do.
Count 4 sets of shoots up and cut the main stem, just above this set of shoots, make sure all 8 shoots (4 sets)have good quality light by moving or cutting some fan leaves.
