Okay, first let me say im successfull at rooting clones already. Ive got 4 plants (clones) just over a foot tall that I have put on 12/12 as of today. Here is my situation. I want to create 3 more clones from the best looking plant. But I don't want to create them right now because I don't have enough room to keep the fast growing clones for 8 weeks while my plants are on 12/12 budding. Anyone have a clue when it is still safe to get some clones off these plants and have them make it easy. Im thinking I should be good to go without much stress up to a good 3-4 weeks. If 3-4 weeks is the case that would be great since in 3 weeks the new clones won't get too overly large and run me out of room. I grew 4 plants indoors, all a good 12-15" right now. Ive learned that my room really should only have 3 plants max for the space. I just don't want to kill off a beutiful white widow female clone who is so sexy. But the next batch of three clones will all be grown to max size and used only for mum use. So i will be able to have lots of clones in spring.
i dont know if this will help, but i took my clones when the plants were about 10 days into 12/12, basically when they started showing flowers. i collect my sample from the bottom of the plant, even though didnt get much light down there, theyve florished since being potted and doing much better than i think the donars did.
Well, my main question is , how late into flowering is it still safe to take clones and have them have a high percentage of still taking root, and not ending up hermies. I don't have the space to flower the four plants and grow my new 3 clones, much. So since flowering takes approx 8 weeks, if I can still takes clones 3 to 4 weeks into flowering, that means I only need to arrange for the 7 plants for the rest of the flowering. If I had room and enough lights I would just flower out these four, and take me some clones now , day one. I know I have at least two weeks to play with since these plants were taken and cloned off a mum that was at least two weeks into flowering. But say 5 weeks, unno?
