Some are in totes w sprayers,(veg, clone), flowering ladies are in rails or hydroton drip systems(modified waterfarms), spacing varies on stage of growth, strain, etc. I try to pull 4 plants every 3 weeks, for a 9week cycle on all strains. I must give Stinkbud credit for this cycle... It changed the game for me...... I can grow Indicas and Sativas in the same res with tremendous success. Oh yeah, veg/clone area is 2'x 6', lit by 400W MH and 125w cfl, both in econo_wings. Bloom is 5'x8' lit by two 600W HPS, both in Daystar AC hoods, yes I run a CO2 burner and all Sentinel controls. AC in the summer.

Looks complicated. I have a lot to learn.

Looking for opinions now. This plant is 29 days old and healthy. Since I plan on taking clones from her do you all think I should flower her and try a different strain for a mother or wait it out? She's getting CO2 as well and her growth just isn't what I would expect being that old. I'm spreading her out to get light to more of her but I'm thinking about down the road when I can start taking clones. How long is it going to take her to recover and start producing more branches for the next clones? That's where I'm at with this plant. WHY SO SLOWWWWW?!

Damn man that's shitty! But, like you said all is not lost. Just a slight set back in your schedule, but a valuable lesson. I'd probably shed a few tears if I came in and seen mine looking like that.

I would take a cut of one of those lower branches and throw her into flower... if it ends up good you still have the genetics otherwise just toss the clone.
Checking in with my perpetual grow, day 47... currently flowering stateline (chemsis x tahoe og) 3 and 4 and wita (white fire x tahoe og) 1 and 2 up front:

Those are nice there! Big and healthy. I can only hope that when my clones take off that look something similar. I took 6 clones 1 died 5 are doing good all I use on them is RO water. The plant seems to be struggling a little now which shows me that this really isn't the strain I want to use for this. I think I'll run white LSD or Amnesia Haze or Ice Bomb. The LSD and Ice Bomb both have explosive growth when they get going. I haven't ran the Haze yet. I've got a friend I gave a couple of those seeds to and he's got a ton of clones from it so it must be good for those.I would take a cut of one of those lower branches and throw her into flower... if it ends up good you still have the genetics otherwise just toss the clone.

Thanks! Yeah, I haven't had the best luck with cloning yet either, maybe around 1/2 or less overall. Getting a short cycle timer seemed promising, but then my pump started failing and it took a while to notice what was going on because it was working sometimes. But that is solved now, so I am hoping for better results, especially since I have gotten ahold of an unrooted gorilla glue 4 cut lol.... Looking good so far

Could you take a pic of the roots and how many days it took for them to take root in the areo cloner I just cloned around twenty in a dome in plugs and mine took 14 days was wondering if it really worth the hassle of buying anthor tote pump ect if the results are the same I had 20/20 root in 14 days . The pic is day of transplant into cups and vegger

I checked on them yesterday and noticed the roots, that was 7 days since I took them and all I've ran in the cloner is RO water.

That ain't bad at all what size pump you using 400? With that tote have you experienced and alge growth from the lid leaking light ??

My pump is a 520 and I haven't had any issues at all with my tote.
