I am buying Clones & answers Please

[Flyinghigh]

Ok I payed for 2 Grand daddy purple and one master ush.
Got some Fox Farm Ocean potting soil.

They are in rockwool cubes and I Don't get to pick the ones I want but going through a friend. Yes I seen his and they look good.

Questions

Do I put the Whole rookwool cubes into the soil.?
Feed after a week of transplanting.?
What size of pot is good for starting.?

They were on 24/7 and was switch over to 18/6 unknown when, so do I just leave them on 18/6 and hope for the best.

This is my First time CLONING and want to make SURE I am Doing it right..:holysheep: That a Statement itself.

One more question

How many times is to many when cloning from a mother plant So what I mean is
1 mother then clone make them into mother plants and then clone off of that one and so on.

 

[nouvellechef]

Yep rockwool into soil. Have you tried peat pellets? For me, very high success rate with peats. no fans, pumps, etc. Just heat pad, dome, pellets and clones. Usually outta 50, 2 dont make it on average.

I would wait longer than a week to feed.

I went straight to 3gal with nicely rooted clones. I dont see the need for transplanting so many times by alot of growers.

I would clone away till you want new genetics, you get some bad phenos, or you have some late herm probs or something.

I would just go to 24/7

No I haven't tried peat pellets!! Soil is all I can afford right now..
3 gal pot before they go into 5 gal buckets.?
Will they flower in the 3 gal bucket, but stay short.?

24/7 ok so for how long.?

So how many time can one clone a plant with out taking away the THC content. 1 seed as mother then cloned and make that a mother, then the 3 clone from the 2 mother and then cloned and make that a mother, isn't that to much cloning (Mothers) from a seedling.?

 

[Flyinghigh]

you get some bad phenos, or you have some late herm probs or something.

Stick that tongue out would You!!!! So I Can Smash IT.!!:hubba:
Hermies, Bad Phenos, or something, isn't what I wanted to hear.!

i read somewhere a couple years ago so some one correct me if i'm wrong but i belive that the plants genetics never weaken when cloning. the plants do adapt though to being indoor. so if you seed those your plants may not grow as big as the first seeds.
as for the pots. you can put them straight into 5 gals or 3 gals.
the plants will slow in growth once the roots get root bound. it all depends on the period of time your gonna grow. if its indoor turn to 24/7 for atleast 4-5 weeks in 3 gallons depending on growth (nutrients and additives make a diffrence) you can do 8 weeks in veg at 24/7 but i would recomend 5 gals to get there full potential out of them.
what lights do you have on them.

 

[Flyinghigh]

I am running a 400 watt MH conversion bulb for my HPS.. 1000 watt Hps. flower room which is running now..
4/5 weeks "Wow" that long.? My electric will go up alot, so No 18/6 from the start.?

 

[Flyinghigh]

Should I add more per-lite & vermiculite to the soil.?
What would be a good mix, if I need too..?

 

[ozzydiodude]

FH if you have the room in the vegging area I would just go with the 5 gal bucket. I less transplant equals 1 less shock that the plant has to recover from.
You might want to quaruntine(?) and treat the clones for bugs, I see people say they got bugs(spider mites and thrips or powdery mildew) for clones they bring into their grow room.
You can run 18/6 but in the long run your electric use will be more or less the same as 24/0 less light per day = more days to get to the growth height you may want before switching over to flowering.

1000 hps for 3 plants? something seems fishy here

1000 hps for 3 plants? something seems fishy here

Y? is this quirky to you.. he can flower them great and big with the 1k. but some of us FILL our space to the rim. maybe he wants the most out of his 3 ladys. I see nothing wrong here.

Keep the goodwork up!! Here is a shot of 4 Herijuanna plants under 1K got big colas and buds of a plant that is a low yeild under 1k 4-5 zips per plant under 600s got bout 3-4 i prefer the 600s to grow but the 1ks are great

 

[Dahova]

you can always clone and get the exact replica of the plants B4, for what your doing 1 mother should keep you well stockd up with clones!
you should offset what goes in the flower box bout 9days apart so evently you can harvest every week and keep low amount of plants.

 

[PUFF MONKEY]

those pics are pretty!!!

 

[Dahova]

and tasty too!

thanks bro

24/7 or 18/6.. all other things being equal, theoretically, X number of hours of light, produces X amount of photosynthesis/growth. Or running your lights for 24 hours for 10 days(240 hrs) will produce the same growth as running your lights 18/6 for 13 days(240 hrs). What "I" have found, is 18/6 will induce more distance between nodes(stretching) than 24/7.
Clones of clones of clones of clones "do" eventually deteriorate in vitality, health, and potency "IME" Though it has usually taken at least 10 generations before it became evident.
"My" preferred process for choosing a Mother/Donor" plant is to grow the plant from seed, take cuttings, label them, then allow the plant from seed to grow and flower to full maturity. Once I have observed her entire life cycle and tested the final product, I can then choose from the labeled clones.

please dont put these new clones by any other plants you have...so important to treat them like they are contaminated...I have seen way too many people get screwed over by mites or mildew from foreign grows..

but isnt there a point were you are losing your out put for the ladies. i spread mine out too. bu i dont see why the light should hit the floor. if its reflective it does come back up, but isn't there a distance the light stops being effective.
it was more to me that his entire post is weird. 3 plants in ver and already a flowering cycle going. you think at this point he would know more. just weird. also there is the sticky for noobs to find all this basic stuff out.

What so fishy here.?

1000 watt Hps for flowering is Fishy.? I thought that what it was for.!!
3 plants or 9 plants is ok for a 1000 watt...

What so wierd about this post.? This is my first Time in buying clones and I have READ all those threads on growing clones and crap that when it comes down to doing what was read it goes out the window because you can follow any instruction you want, but doing any grow is where all the Trials comes and problems and what does one do go back and read and read, and Not figuring it out can Kill your grow..!

This is why we have Marijuana passion my friend.!!!!!

I have a Veggie room that has 400 watt conversion bulb and I also have a Flower room that house the 1000 watt so That a good thing how I am set up.. Right now I have BOTH Rooms going on Veggie room during the day and flowering at night..

By the way I Am NOT a NOOB.. Nor do I have a true green thumb.
Why are you here at this site.? To Learn..

 

[moaky]

i forgot to take my medicine before i posted that. just a spider sense went off when i was reading it thats all. i was going to say something helpful then i read more and a funny feeling came over me. maybe the feeling was i need to take my medicine. hope my ignorant comment wasn't offensive, but only made you laugh. puff puff ahhhhhhh i feel better
you should start a grow journal. with pics it makes it easier for everyone to help out. pass.....

I am not much into Journals, just like to read other.

Pix I can do.!!
But first close your eyes and think about those clones you have gotten from some one else and there was
NO Marijuana Passion.. Who would you call.?
