Cloning w/o a separate veg area possible?

I would like to start cloning so I don't have to start from seed each time I want to grow. However, things needs to be stealth to the point I simply don't have another place to veg. I can deal with a 20gal stealth rubbermaid container (or something similar) for the clones, but that's about it. To remain stealth I simply can't set up a tent or anything.

This may not be possible seeing as I would take my cuttings before I put my plants into flower then I would have to sustain my clones until those other plants were done flowering. That's 8-9 weeks the clones would have to survive in a small, stealth box.. Am I shit out of luck or have any of you worked this out somehow? I just really don't want to order more seeds for multiple reasons, and growing from clones is so much faster.

It is possible, but you need to create a good living condition for your clones. You will need to be able to take air in & out, which can be done with a couple of PC fans & a power supply (put 1 fan pointing in & the other pointing out). You will also want to keep the temp around 70-85 & humidity at least at 50%.

Good luck

Peace out

Rather than take your clones before flowering, take them 2-3 weeks into flower. Takes a little longer to root but branches way better. A couple of weeks less for you to worry about, at least.

you could wait till around week 3 of flower to cut your clones, I usually do do and in this case might help you quite a bit. it will take the clones a week or 2 to get a decent root system going. so that takes out another week or two the clones would have to be in the box, so thats 4 or 5 weeks taken off altogether so far, it will take the clone some time to revert to veg mode as well. ive found it seems to depend on how low the clones were taken from.clones of bottom branches root and revert to veg the quickest in my experience. so that would be like 5 or 6 weeks so they'd only have to do 3 or 4 weeks. The plants will be bushy as hell too since its from a flowering clone.
