I'll have an update here in the next hour or two.
I'm thinking of taking 2 clones. But here is my concern and thoughts....
If I take them I will be losing 2 of 9 growths slowing the ability to fill the screen. They would both be from the second node so I don't expect them to be huge producers if left anyway. (Their arms are significantly thinner than the other 7 arms).
Will the growths from those 7 arms be enough to fill the screen? Will I, or better yet, should I top any of the arms to help the screen fill more once they get close to reaching the edge of the screen?
Any advice suggestions and or opinions are welcomed and suggested
For the clones I will take the cuttings and place them directly in a cup of water containing pirhana rhino skin and a smidge of cal mag. From there into pure coco with as much stem in the coco as possible. A dome will be put over her and she will be put over on the far side of the tub
Catch ya soon

I can't give you any help on the actual cloning side (obviously!) but instead of thinking in terms of what you lose from this grow, think of what you gain in the next ones. Take 2 of 9 stems and you're left with 7. Not considering that you can veg longer to make up for that loss, you now will have 2 clones that could make another 9 stems, which you can take 2 off each and end up with 4 clones next time.
This plant gives you 7 solid stems and can generate 14 more. Who wouldn't do that unless you had a medical requirement that mandated the harvest from all 9 stems on this grow (as if that was guaranteed).

Yeah I was thinking the same way to be honest!
I guess my other dilemma ... Is if I really lover her traits, and pheno type, and want to keep a mother plant around, I'm not sure I want it to be from a 2nd node cutting. I would prefer to top the most robust growth and use that. Remember a clone thinks it is as old as the mother plant. And someone please correct me if I am mistaken but the robustness and health of the clone when it is taken will decide it's potential correct??? I.e. a stronger healthier branch will grow better offer better cutting as a mother plant because it thinks it is an apical top not a side shoot.... That make sense? Anyone with me still hahahaha
Aaaaaaand you just blew past what I know

Hey no worries I'm just thinking out loud bud. Not even sure if I'm close with that thought process. Regardless I need the 1 cutting now for pollen . Well talk motherplants in a week or 2Aaaaaaand you just blew past what I know
I'm sure the cannabis experts here can answer the mother plant question. I just handle the basic math!
Looking great, MD!
I bought some coco and perlite to make solo hempy cups. I want to run my seeds!

Hey vex! Thanks dude.
Never thought I'd see your roots growing in anything other than h20! Haha. I'm pretty pleased with the coco above res hempy . Are you running them for breeding purposes? I can't remeber.
Dam autocorrect. Lol
I plan to follow PW's steps, start seeds in coco, then transplant to hydro. .
Would love to try my hand at breeding if I get a male. .

Well as promised it's time for the anticipated daily update
We will start with my attempt to clone Gloria. Her leaves looked healthy down to the core just a little issues with the leaves touching the perlite.
And here she is in her new solo cup clone dome
I cut her at 90° split the stem again with a blade. Drenched in pure pirhana planted in hole with pure pirhana drips added. Gave her a small mist. Domed her up, and that's it.
I opted to only take 1 for now in case she fails. Doubtful but possible. It's been years since my last successful clone!
Okay now on to Gloria!
She's scrogging right along .
Strong as ever
And Abbie will get a strap down again tomorrow, if not, this weekend
Now on to the beautiful Goldie -
And the little squirt to round out the update
Everyone make sure to root for my clone to... root!
Well October is coming to an end so is my post. Have some house work to do now, but until next time may your plants prosper and buds swell.

Root clone root! I love your clone dome with the tongue depressors and the duct tape. Everything is looking "Glorious" in the tub, even uneven Abbie who you swore was handicapped!

Yeah she's weaker and spindly-er than I would prefer but I've decided to just jam her in the extractor and make a bunch of wax . I'm scared to train her too hard because it seems like the more I stress her, the more her genetic flaws are exposed (or whatever the heck is wrong with her). I'm just babying her until flip. She's gonna be a sloppy floppy sloot already I can tell . Oh well! Haha whether it's wax or edible concentrate don't discriminate . Larf, popcorn nugs, even sugar leaf. It's all game babay!!!!

Ok 
family. Time for a brief peek into my little slice of Eden.
The tub of love... where dreams become reality.
I'm thinking this weekend I will get a little snip happy and do a light defol to remove fan leaves from what will soon be beautiful flower sites
I may have to adjust Gloria. As you may notice there are 2 rows of squares to be filled on the far side and 3 cheat the bottom. May just scoot her a smidge.
Poorly lit profile shot.
Just a peek up her skirt. Her trunk is looking... glorious
And the clone is getting misted 3 or 4 times a day as well as the inside of the dome.
And we will finish with a "frost shot"
Ahh if only she was more than 2 inches tall when she began to bloom. Beautiful genes on this one. Sink water must have something in it....
Well that's all for the update today. Just patiently awaiting the next opportunity to upgrade the lights in the room and should start the build to enclose the tub space this weekend or next.
Wishing everyone an awesome weekend. And until next time may your plants prosper and buds swell.

Sweet looking family shots Them! Now is the time to adjust Gloria bf she gets too committed to her place under the screen. And I love the size of the fans on your SPOG. Other than the fact that it's 7" tall it thinks it's a full sized plant!
