This is going to be on trippy grow, I can already tell. I have had my clones under 12/12 lights for 5 days now. They are showing signs of new growth.

Her is what I am thinking might be freaky. Plants in flowering will grow about 3 times their size. My clones are small, about 3 inches. Now I figure, even though they are already two life cycles mature and already showing sex, that they should take about 14-17 days to start showing buds, at least. So by then they should be about 6-8 inches tall, then if they triple in size I will be looking at 18-24 inch plants, and with carefull pruning, they should just be single cola's. Other then two of them that will have two main colas.

Once the buds start forming, I will post pictures.

cool , i can't wait to see them...i'll have some pics up in an hour or so...i just finished transplanting my 2nd batch of clones into flower and moved the first batch around a bit.
you'll see the buds and the pruning in effect.

So my clones have been planted for about 7 days now. They were in the root dome for 10-12 days. I just gave them a feeding. I gave them iguanna juice and Mother Earths Tea at 30% strength, and , And I also added a nutrient called Insta Green. This nutrient is 3/0/0. Since these clones have been about 18 days with no feeding, and also taken directly to flowering, I figure they must be Starved of Nit. I will only feed them the Insta green for 1-2 feedings, just to give them a little boost of it.

Also, I placed my 400 watt HPS light over them today. I placed it about 3 feet above them.

I will be trying to get a few close up photots tomorrow of one of my clones. This clone has been under 12/12 for 17 days, 13 of those days under a t-5, and a few 43 wat cfls. Now is under a 400 watt HPS light. This clone is already showing signs of bud formation. Now all of the clone are showing sex, this is not what I am talking about. This one plant is starting to form buds already.

I have decided not to show pictures tomorrow. I will show pictures once buds have formed. I want the shock factor.

the longest mine have taken to root was 17 days...but i had several probs...the fastest was 9 days...that 400 is over your cuttings? 3 feet though...right on, but overkill ya know.

maybe use those 43w cfl's for the clones and the t-5 for the mums ....just a suggestion, but if it's workin for ya then screw me and go-head!

sorry i didnt post those pruned pics yet but i swear i'll do it tomorrow after i get back from the hydro shop

Wow!
Very good thread!
Thanks to all that posted!!!

Here are a few shots of my clones in just over a week of 12/12...

Well,

Later...

well i guess i have to get in on the fun here....first off....LDB, this is pre- 3rd week pruning. but these are my babies at 20 days into flower


you can see the staggered growth...the 4 rows in the back are from 6 different mothers and i'm still WEEDING out the weak moms.

again this is pre-3rd week prune. but you can see the buds startin to stack.....sorry about the blurr

I would let them grow to about 6” or 7” before setting them to flower. You will get a bigger harvest. Try keeping a log on all your mother plants and there clones. you will be able to determine the optimal conditions for your grow. I use a spreadsheet for the easy layout and speed of keeping track of all the data.
