Well, they're not really flowering yet, but they're showing pre-flowers after I flipped them. I think this is traditionally the time people take cuts for clones isn't it?
Well, I found a plant I really like in my flowering tent and I think I just want to start cloning it, but it doesn't have very big branches right now and I'm not sure if I should wait. I understand that you can reveg a plant after flower and then clone it. Doesn't that also monster-crop it, so that it ends up growing tons of more branches?
I have 7 plants veg'ing right now, and 6 just flipped, they're all the same age I just didn't expect all of them to germinate and had to make room in the tent so I picked a final six...
Well, as part of picking the final six, I chose the ones I thought looked the best, and well damn if I didn't fall in love. These two are Blackberry Kush and I can't really decide which one looks the best. They were planted 8/17 I also have a pretty nice Platinum Girl Scout Cookies I would like to clone too. It's in the bottom right corner of the tent.
That still leaves me with 7 plants veg'ing though, and I kind of wanted to try to cycle them but I think they will get too big in the 8 weeks of flower to fit in the tent after stretch if I planned to flower them. Plus, they're all kind of having their own problems ( all but one ) and so I'm not sure I should clone off of them, but basically my idea is I need to get some clones going now to actually be able to cycle at the end of 8 weeks.
But should I do it with these two rockstars, or the B string that didn't make the cut? I mean just in saying that it sounds obvious, but I'm not sure I want to sacrifice too many branches off of them, so that's where the idea of reveg'ing them to clone them came in.
I don't know, the cloning process is kind of new to me, I have taken cuts and like, planted clones and all that so I'm experienced with that, but I've only ever done it for other growers who had already decided when and what they wanted to clone... So it's the how I know, but not necessarily the why.
Is there any draw back to just cloning straight into soil? I've used an aerated tub of water, rock-wool cubes and a dome, but never planted them into soil. I guess you prepare them just like you would if you were using rockwool, but then put them into the soil. I've had great success using a dome and heating mat and stuff though so I'm not sure I want to screw with the success rate to save a few bucks, but I'm not sure if the dome method is just more popular because people want to make a lot of clones really fast. All I want to do is make 6, so buying a dome, a block of cubes and Cone-X seems excessive.
