This was suggested to me by other og members and is how i plan on keeping some mother plants.

Keeping moms feed 1-1-1 npk low amount for slow growth but topping often , creative bending, and root pruning in small containers to keep it from forced flowering

Since you’re taking clones it’ll be pretty easy to even out the canopy.
If they stretch differently (which they probably will) then you can just put boxes under the short ones to keep everything even 
I use amazon boxes because we get lots of them and they come in different sizes.
Smart!
Wow does my hygrometer say 34 lol it must be a 8
That extra light must be zapping up the humidity. I’m reading 24.5 25.5 C
And the cardboard box is a good idea… I’ve used it before to prop up fan’s and filters.
Curious though If the cardboard absorbs moisture.and maybe attract critters. I know those little frigger earwigs like cardboard.
And I actually got my only successful clone from a TOP… I tried 12 other times front random pruning sessions…but I had one peat pod left and I actually topped that original BDAY,CLONE on far left …and it rooted ! I have a current cllone of it but it is major charlie brown xmas tree…like Skinny minni 16"
I think take those top.chute will clone great as they are clearly healthy specimens.
My other option is to bend them over to.let the rest catch up…

It does. I put plastic sheet (cut to size recycling bags) and cut them to size so the cardboard doesn’t wick the moisture out of the pots. I’ve had boxes get damp and collapse before 
LSTing the tall ones is a good idea but when they get bushy they take up more space.
The biggest variable I’ve found when cloning is temp. The others factors are important too but my clones root way faster in the summertime.

Thanks!
I just checked my hygrometer again and sure enough 33-35. Although top temp was 30C
Uh oh!
And some how the oscillating fan is keeping the pack on my light really cool compared to the booster fan
And I’ve ran the pan light before and it used to get really hot with the booster on it still
Hmmm I just switched the booster fan to other side of pack to see any any difference

Lots of ways to play this.
33% is low but ok. My tent has big temp/humidity swings. You can chase it or choose to accept it. I have no choice. I have no space or available power to run AC and a dehumidifier.
I can’t tell from your pic but if your sensor is getting direct light you could be getting a false reading. I have a sensor above the lights and a sensor below the canopy. I don’t worry too much about the temp below the light as long as it’s not crazy. If it feels hot to your hand it’s hot for your plants. A little hot is ok. If your roots are 30C, not so good.
I’ve also got an IR temp gun which is very useful for checking leaf temps.

I was high 60s until I put in this second light.
I also re arranged the exhaust pipe to pull hot air down from the top of tent .
Now.its back at top taking hot air from above the lights to keep lights a bit cool.
The sensor is placed 4" below the light and I did move.my light closer to the pocket that it’s sitting in
It must be False because I also fed two days ago which would increase humidity.
I will swap it up with my better one .
Thanks.man…if.you don’t ask you’ll never know 
thank you.

Soo I checked my tote full of my excess soil I mixed…
Opened it for some soil to top the pots off…
Lots of this white cloud mould… Dumped it in back garden…
@CADMAN - does this constitute as good mould??? It’s not in my bale. Just in the tote…which had a mix of some all-purpose - rock dust - perlite

Umm I’m not too sure. But I don’t like how that one looks. 
I’m not a mold expert, but some are good and some are bad. I’m not too sure how to tell the difference

LOL. Appreciate the honesty .
I’ve seen this posted on the forum before . Can’t remember the consensus.
I can probably google it !
Definitly not going to shovel it into my garden lol
I am sure there is a perfectly acceptable scientific explanation. @JoeCrowe maybe?

give this a read I’m pretty confident its what your dealing with.

@Neb very informative thank you.
I will keep all that in mind . Extra sun. Aerogation. Humidity…excess nutrients . Over watering.
It seemed to only happen with the soil I mixed up . . . The stuff in the Bail.is fine…
But four plants I transplanted showed the white on surface but none of that whool looking stuff.
I think I over watered it during transplant . And adding those all purpose nutes probably didn’t help… .my run off has been a deep orange on my three veg I up potted.
Thanks again

As long as it’s not growing in an anaerobic environment or on your plant, it’s a symbiont! I get fungal blooms with inky mushrooms all the time in organic culture.

Breaking out some of my home grown . Wow the smell on the Chem 91 has gone from pine to the sweet sour kids citrus smell after Being dried and jarred since mid June!! SMELls like a entirely different beast!!!
This was the dry trim batch with a bud wash i am pretty sure. I have 4 batches. One dry trimmed. Another wet trimmed, one wet trimmed and bud washed with h2o2 and another’s dry trimmed with water and baking soda h202 and lemon , and water rinsed
Be a nice treat tomorrow ! My camera sucks and my photography skills are worse
