outdoor cloning?

patch0i · #1 05-05-2007, 05:32 AM

if i'm growing outdoors, and i want my mother plant to get at least a foot in height before i take cuttings, would it be too late for the clones to mature? is this do-able if i do everything outdoors?

also, if i took, let's say, 6 cuttings, would one 26W CFL be sufficient light? and if so, how far away should it be?

Question for ya. Have you successfully cloned marijuana previously?

it's never too late.....unless it is. that bulb will be great for cloning.

Just use a shoplight, they are perfect for clones. They are like 12 bucks at walmart. get a 48 inch flouro, inexpensive and is awesome. : )

ps, sunlight is to strong for clones, without roots the heat will kill them. Unless you can give them indirect sunlight, like if it is cloudy for a week straight lol. But I wouldnt try to get clones to root by sunlight.

Indirect sunlight works great just like jack mentioned. You can also use a any kind of screening that will also provide enough shade for your clones. Just follow regular cloning instructions there are tons in FAQ.
