By the way, sometimes, instead of leaves, it may have latent buds, so it will form the inflo first. Some would keep it and let it bloom, but do not be fooled, no leaves, no roots. Oftentimes, it is better to cut that initial inflo so the plant can continue to redirect energy to root formation.

I have done that mistake before, so in the end, killed my cutting, thinking with the inflos out, I gave it watering and later on saw there was really no roots below, so it just rotted the cutting. Rolling my eyes.
