Ive not got any just a question, if you have unhealthy cuttings is that it there shit and will be bad plants ? Or can you nurse bk to health and youd never no it was unhealthy?

Try to have mother plants very healthy so you get good clones. You can get the sick ones going and they can still be a plant that grows to full potential, but that takes time and in the mean time you could have healthy ones growing.

Makes no difference to end product if its veg and flowered while its healthy.
Just it will take longer to root and get started compared to a healthy cutting.
How much difference depends on how well you can look after it.
For me a good cutting will take 5-10 days to show roots. A unhealthy one will take 7-20 days.

But that makes no difference to me since I take my cuttings just before I switch to flower taking all the lower growth.
Some of them dont look too good since they havnt been exposed to much light. But they would be going in the bin other wise so might as well throw them in the clone box.
Most make it and by the start of veg phase you wouldn't know the difference.

Ive always just done from seed but a couple of grows back i took some cuttings just before they went into flower but only had a tiny aeroponic tank to keep them in for 8 wk and they looked ok just small but i put them in the bin because i didnt want to end up wasting 8 wk flower for it to be crap.

Im only asking because i might do curttings again even though ive no proper veg set up yet just to save on seed cost, if plants ok when nursed bk it might just be worth a try till i get funds for a proper system
