    Default Using clones with unsymmetrical nodes

    Hi just a quick one. My last scrog was with feminised seeds (incredible bulk). All the same strain but they were all different as seeds are. I found it difficult using them in a scrog, so this time round I've gone with clones (royal gorilla). They have unsymmetrical nodes so topping to split the main cola will not work according to what I've read. Just wondering what's the best way to train them? Or shall I just leave them alone and Christmas tree them?
    The space they have to fill is 60cm2 per plant, so it's a 600w MH/hps parabolic shade in a 1.2mx1.2m tent. Does anyone have any advice or any links to some diaries where people have trained their unsymmetrical node clones?

    Any advice? Or any diaries out there using clones for a scrog? Really struggling to find much info. Interested in the veg time. And evening out the dominance of the main cola. Ive been told to leave them Christmas tree but know I'm not gonna pull the same amount as a scrog.
    Who else trains clones with alternating nodes? LST? Scrog? If I need to top. I need to top soon

    @Shreder does clones and he trains his plants to where they may as well be in a scrog, they're that level. Any mature plant is going to start having alternating nodes and lots of people keep right on training as long as they're not in flower. My outdoor plants have been alternating nodes for quite a while but that hasn't stopped me from topping them and doing kind of a higher stress pinching and bending something like supercropping.

    Here's one of mine that I topped after it started alternating nodes and actually I've had them switch back to equal nodes if I've topped frequently.

    Just treat them the same as you would plants grown from seed...You can top all the leaders as many times as you want, LST, Super crop ect...Your objective with scrog is just to fill/occupy as many of the squares you can around 70% of the screen before you switch over to flower...Once you have the screen full allow the heads to come through around 150mm 6 inch then flip...

    Slaze brother i hate the hassle of a scrog, troubleshooting becomes such a bitch with the net on... now I try to keep em very short and lst until late in flower about 20-30 days in strain dependant.. using thin bamboo sticks and garden ties to lst every single branch..

    With clones u will just begin lsting very early, other than that no difference

    And you could / should train them to become perfect 60*60. Maybe diy a rectangular tomato cage like? One that you can stick inside the pots.. then thinkin of that you could attach strings onto it and have a stand alone scrog .. im so high right now i actually consider doing that myself . Lol

    If anything I find them slightly easier to work with, just LST them and top them and they will come good in no time
