I'm guessing new growth and when it starts growing taller? Took a clone from a flowering plant, with a small flower and all, and it recently started new growth and getting taller. It looks like a mini tree now Does that mean its in its vegitative state already?
What I have seen from taking a clone from a bud.. 1st growth - large single leaves 2nd growth - multi-lobe leaves with leaves alternate 3rd growth - mutli-lobe leaves and leaves opposite So its basically the opposite of when its going from veg -> bud
