sog auto's or non auto's

non autos... get the right genetics, you can clone and keep your favorites. Can't do that with autos. Non autos tend to be more potent as well. I really liked the plants I grew from Sannie and Mr Nice has some legendary stuff. I read nothing but good things about PeakseedsBC and will be ordering from them next. They are cheap too.

The Skunk from Peakseeds looks like it might be good in a SOG. There are some amazing plants out there for that setup. My buddy has one that grew some massive huge single colas that were dense and heavy despite huge amounts of stress (mites start to finish, kept to minimal levels). Clone only variety AFAIK, but the point is there are some incredible plants for this setup. Good luck finding one.

I've seen Critical Mass do pretty well in these setups (MNS).

Maybe you could set up a tent and keep a couple good plants and just clone them.It will probably be cheaper then buying seeds all the time.

i havent had much luck with cloning, and i considered it but cant figure how to get the clones to root to the slabs while vert without falling all over the place.

Then read a cloning thread/tutorial.

It's cake once you get the hang of it. You'll end up with better smoke and more cash in your pocket.

remeber to cut twice an many cutting as you need!!!! (even more if your cloning for the first time) or you'll have only a half full vert setup.
and also make the cutts in the perfect spot (cut off a few nodes and place the rooting gel on the wounds of the nodes, this will help root the fastest).

the factors to weigh out here in my opinion are,

one, if your just starting a veg room it will now use extra power, and also it will take months before you'll have enough clones for a vertical show.

and two, yes from seed with the auto's it will be quicker,

now combine both of these, go with some auto's for your first run or two,

meanwhile,

you get a few proper genetics on the side and grow them out while you go through a couple runs,

now you can get that price of your back for the autos,

and save money and start harvesting even quicker than the autos as u can flip your cutting into flower.

my rule for mothers if u want short clones is give them a bit more intense lighting so your nodes stay close together and u gain more roots closer together (to root most easily in root cubes).

I would find a good indica domm plant and start cloning the crap out of her... you can go 12/12 from clone and have a hefty harvest of single colas..

i decided to go with nirvana white widow, the seeds were cheap. but if i start cloning how would i do that with doing vert and transplanting them onto the slabs?

cloning sucks when you first start. i remember i was cutting maybe 20 clones and 19 would die.
but after practice, youll get better results. and in the summer, with good heat, and good lighting, you can get an almost 100% success rate.

keep trying. its worth it,
