So i started a new job today that will be consuming the majority of my flowering time :( i only get to see my girls in the dark...kinda tough to see anything :(

On a better note though, they are starting to show signs of bud sites, so its starting to get exciting...

also, 6 out of 9 clones have rooted nicely now :)

I will get pics posted in a few minutes...

YOYOYO! JB Whats up! Sorry I havint been on in a bit! Been stupid busy!

Your babies are looking fucking amazing you cloning machine!

Im currently thinking of a way I could have a mother.... hmmm.

Say I do have a mother. And I take a clone from her. Then I Veg in Rockwool for 2 weeks,Then stick in my DWC buckets on 12/12 for 60 days. What do you think?

sounds like a perfect set up to me...you could stick your rooted clones into 12/12 as soon as they root instead of vegging...average 3/4 to 1 oz each rooted clone...

my clones take 10 days to fully root in rapid rooter plugs...

but its all strain dependant...could me more, could be less....

cool,so I cut a clone. then put in RW for 14 days. then I can throw them into the DWC setup into flowering?

Me and DLC went to lowes today and looked at all types of containers for mothers. I think were gonna have a White Rhino Mother and a LA Woman Mother : )

Should be fun! How often can I cut her back? when can I take clones?

24/0 or 18/6?

i start taking clones when the mothers are at least 4 weeks old...after taking clones, i'll wait 2 weeks until i cut from her again...

i put the clones under flouro's on a 24/0 setting for the first week, then switch to 18/6 after to harden them off to start vegging again...

check out Al B. Fuct's clone thread...really helpful...

hope this helps out bro!
