howdy everybody, couple o' amateur questions for ya,.. just determined i've got 2 females (out of 6 plants), growing in soil, under 430 hps. is NOW the time to take a clone?? if so, whats a practical way to set up?...i mean, do i need a completely different light setup, in a different room, due to the light/dark period difference (in cloned and flowering plants)? any tidbits of info sure would help. thanx.
is NOW the time to take a clone?? Don't know,,,how old/big is it? after cutting,,you will need a flourescent fixture to get them going...
both are 2 ft., vegged for 2 months, forced flowering 1 week ago. Ndica, how long should i keep clones under flourescents?....hps light is busy with flowering plants (for the next few months). trying to carry this out rather economically. advice? thanx yet again!!!!
i have a pretty effective way of cloning so far i am batting a 1000. i took a syrofoam cooler put 6 inches or so of soil. plant the cuttlings, water them, spray them down really good, cover the top with a large ziplock bag, i put one of those plant lights with the reflector, and bam tons of humidity and guaranteed to work. im sure someone has done this before. just thought id share a little wisdom although i am a newbie. my plant is about 9 months old. ive took 5 clones and the mother and all the clones are flowering. i just kept them in the same closet with the 12/12 cycle and they are doing just fine.
I leave clones under the flouros until I see signs of new growth from the chutes,,,then they go under the HID's.. If no HID right away,,then just keep them close to the flouro,,keeping about 1-2 inches at all times,,until they can go under the HID..
