Clones will be comming on saturday hopefully...As soon as sex is shown...they will be placed back under veg for a week...then clones will be taken! Is this right?
Just my suggestion... It will not hurt your plants
to KEEP them in Veg. I would take clones right now
from every potential mother plant, and put the clones
directly into flower and see what the sex is instead
of flower your main potential mothers and then taking
them back to veg. That's the kind of stress that makes
females hermie.
So just clip two clones from each plant currently in Veg.
Leave them in the dark for at least 12 hours and then
start them on 12/12 in your flowering box. That way
you can know(make sure you label which clone belongs
to which plant) what the sex is of each vegging plant
you have. Once you know, the mystery is gone, and
you haven't unnecessarily stressed out your potential
mothers that are currently in veg. They can stay in veg
and they will eventually start to show signs of sex any-
way. Play it safe. Don't risk the hermies.
Another suggestion is, since you are using CFL's to flower,
you have to be able to get those new CFL's as close to
the clones as possible. Like 1-2inches. Seriously. If you
don't do this, the clones will stretch up to the light quickly
and you won't have room to raise the light. Another, play
it safe tip.
EDIT: One last thing, you can never have too much with
CFL's. Just don't put the light on the underside of the plants
as they can get confused as to which direction the light is
coming from and will try to reach down to the light below.
Side lights however, and lights in the middle of plant hight
is perfectly fine and extremely helpful for full bloom.
PLEASE... anyone, with actual experience, correct me
if I am wrong. Good luck man, I think you will be having
a lot of fun with your setup!
