Clone question??

[jerryb73]

Sup RIU, so I have taken 10 clones 8 survived, not bad for my first attempt at it.. I went from cloning gel to solo cups.. No humidity dome or anything fancy.. Well they look great and my question is, how long can they stay in the solo cups? And how do u keep them from getting to big before it's time to use them?

Then I should go to what size? I'm trying to keep small till I'm ready to use them.. Is that possible? I can't use them till mid to end January.. And they are in my closet so I can't have giant plants in there..lol.. I only have 1 room for veg and flower.. Thanks for reply

Clones just that
the same age of that as the mother
most guys take clones mid to late veg
thats prime growing time
trying to stop that is impossible
far better for you to adapt
or start again end on January​

Well it can stay in a cup longer than that if needed to. You can keep them in the cups for a while just going to have to water more often or you can root prune.

Thanks v.. I took them at about 5 weeks of veg and vegged another week then flipped.. So when u take clones u basically need a veg room for them?

Thanks for reply.. So how long could I leave in cups? Extra watering is no issue..

people do complete grows in solo cups, not to say it's the best idea though imo..
i'd transplant it when i noticed growth slows down...
