Hey guys I made a thread to discuss our cloning

I started it,that way we can keep this thread for our contest,I got a bunch of questions,hope to get some discussion.

why is this bucket working?

 

[skunnymonster]

I was thinking about what you said above. My original plan was to use clones, but the more i thought about it, the more i started to think about Hybrid Vigor... HHmmm know I dont know what to do lol

Haha, sorry to cause you this conundrum

 

[Stumped]

I asked ricorico to judge. See if hes down.

Mods might just be too busy to help. Big ass Fuckin site and all.

I started 4 Blue Widow Clones from my flowering mother outside...started last night...figured 8 days early wouldn't hurt not knowing how long flowering clones take to root....If they root before the 14th they will stay in the cloner until the 14th then I will transfer to 16oz solo cup.

I needed clones to keep her around if she is liked by my patients. Ive heard fantastic things about her so we will see. I figured Id use one in the comp and veg the other 3 out....

Clone from a flowering plant will take longer then 8 days to revert back to veg. Probably 2 or 3 weeks. Plus rooting time

I was under the impression that they rooted and then started to revert back to veg....And Im not concerend about VEG. Since I will be switching them to 12/12 as soon as I plant them in solo cups...

You almost got the right idea. But I can guarantee flowering an already flowering clone. The clone will revert to veg no matter what before it grows flowers again.
Ive tried it before, and it takes about a month and a half from cutting to start flowering. Even if cloned under 12 hours. Is why mother plants are kept in veg, cuts a step out.
A clone from veg plant will flower within 3 weeks basically from my experience. Maybe a month

Time is getting close!

I finally picked up my 18oz solos ,still tyring to figure out my style. Ive never finished in solos or grew my strains to be used yet. Im thinking just homemade compost , wormcastings and perlite and using the GO line to feed when needed. I also like the hempy style so water can sit in the bottom stretching watering times out so I dont dry them out
