thanks, farmer. and thanks for responding so quick. what i was thinking is that if it was possible, maybe a person could let their mother veg a little longer than needed, and take cuttings from the bottom of the plant one node up from the main stem rather than at the main stem (or any branch for that matter, at any point of growth) so in essence, any time you go back to take more cuttings, you'll have more sites to take cuttings from. potentially, any cutting you take from any branch would in essence create two more sites to take cuttings from down the road. but this is all just speculation on my part and im probably missing something in my train of thought. if it doesnt pan out this way, im just going to practice "mother rotation" like you do.
