Okay I want to get everything in this post, going to impliment my questions in ()'s in the info. here goes...
I'm still on my first grow, Day 21 since I turned the lights to 12/12 anyway out of 3 originals and 1 clone I cut from my largest plant I'm left with 3 females and one is the clone.
I have decided I do not want to start from seed and deal with males again. I'am wondering if I can harvest these and get all the bud by pruning each bud as the trichomes start to turn amber colored, keeping the plants alive(how/where do I cut to not kill the shoots that I want make clones from) and then converting them back to vegetative stage(how long will they need to veg before I can cut everything possible(I have only cut the grow shoots to clone from can I use fan leaves also) to grow as many clones as possible.
I want to take as many cuttings as possible and as soon as they root force them into flowering. Also thought I'd mention I have been growing in soil.
You look up my posts to find info on early in my grow ran into a lot of some newb problems and got some bad advice using vinegar as pesticide.
Also I have read some info that says not to take clones from re-vegged mothers because the genetics are shot... Any truth to this?
I do not have a source that grows, and cannot get quality(or even lower garde but who want to dedicate time to it) female clones, that is why I think I'll be going this route for the next round.
Sorry if this is hard to understand I'm pretty toasted and have the FLU
Any help/guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance
