So I have a blueberry clone I'm training for a scrog and there are tons of smaller offshoots, and I was wondering if i took clones, would there be any chance they would retain the unique, fast growing, vigorous characteristics that only a monster cropped plant seems to possess? I'm also gearing up to switch my veg room to hydro, so the cuttings could go in soil or a prop bubbler. Any ideas? Is it too good to be true that i could have crazy fast growing clones?

I wanted to know the same , Will a monster cropped mom produce monster cropped clones ? Everthing in my garden are monster cropped moms or offspring . My perifial observations tells me yes . Need to pay more attention next round .

trying some at the moment if they survive will have some sort of an answer in 10+ weels lol

in your experiences are clones from monster cropped plants harder to root?

if they are normal clones, as in taken in normal veg of a monster cropped plant they should not be any difference in time as a normal clone ,but i think they will grow normally.not monster cropped way ,but you may still take monster crop clones.ie(clones taken with plant approx 3 weeks into flower) and they should grow monster crop way but there is a high failure rate and they may take slightly longer and will throw out unusual leaves first, followed by normal growth.clones can take 1 week up to 2 1/2 weeks or longer to root but the better your conditions/environment the better chance they have to root check out the thread How To Improve On Your Harvest:
A Complete Guide To Topping, Training And Pruning( and monstercropping) its by the member kodiak as i don't know how to link it to this pace .goodluck ;-)

Hey, from my experience a clone is a clone. Once rooted it will grow with the speed and vigor that is built into its genetic code (optimal level of nutes dependent of course). So the answer is no or not in my experience.

The reason why small shoots can grow so fast from a well established mother plant is its well established root system, something that the fresh clone does not have.

So... then the only reason one would not always do monster cropped plants (clones taken from mothers that are 3 or MORE weeks into flower) is if they were trying to create clones for breeding. It seems that the only way to go if you're after production would be "monster cropped" or "monster clones", if you prefer. Too soon?

i agree with you, but am just at the moment trying to reveg a plant and have got roots on the monster croped clones just waiting for them to throw a couple of those new unsurated leaves(ones without the the pointy edges) will update when i have new growth to let ya know .

My first monster has hit veg and it's very impressive! I am not sure I followed why you are re-vegging (no need just to take clones), because really, once you get your cloning technique dialed in, you can take the clones whenever. I am having success in rock wool and probably in my cheapo clone bucket now that I have it on a timer. I actually did get one to root already in about 6 days in the clone bucket (that was probably in the 6th or 7th week of flowering), but it had some Cyanobacteria on a section I cut off, so I am not counting it until is see growth, but I will be surprised if it dies.

I would love to hear you echo my thoughts about how impressed you are with your monster babies, so post up when you have some success and see some of this crazy veg growth I am seeing-it's really cool!

Good technique and luck to you, brother!

Edit: I added a couple shots of my first M-Clone for your amusement. I also included the clone that took fast in the bucket...it rooted inside the neoprene collar..weird!

good reply will try and get some pics up myself ,i have roots on my baby monster clones just waiting for her to start revegin not too sure how long it takes but will be looking out for those smooth edge leaves,how long did yours take brown thumb to go from monster clone to reveg please?
