    Can I take cuttings/clones after switching to 12/12?

    One more thing. What if I'd take cuttings like 3 weeks into 12/12. As I understand it would take them 2-3 weeks to start vegging again. Does the same go with rooting? How long does it take for them to root in this case? Does rooting mean they've started vegging again? Usually they would be...

    Cool. Thanks. But when typically?

    Does plant show sex before 12/12?

    Does plants show sex before 12/12 if it's vegged for a long time?

    Switching to 12/12 instantly or gradually?

    I've heard from somewhere that if the switching is made gradually from 18/6 to 12/12, like adding 1 extra dark hour every day, then the plant doesn't stretch that much and you get more dense buds. Is it true?

    Can I take cuttings/clones after switching to 12/12?

    Thank you for a nice explanation. That's clear now. One more thing though. Is it okay if I take cuttings from the shady bottom as I'm lollipopping? Will they root and grow as well as taken from the higher branches?

    Tissue Culture (cloning)

    I would like to have your opinion about this technique. Does it work well? Is it worth the hassle? http://cals.arizona.edu/pubs/garden/mg/propagation/grafting.html#Top...

    Can I take cuttings/clones after switching to 12/12?

    Thanks for the answers. But where is the line between flowering and vegging after switching to 12/12? If I don't want to re-veg them, when is the last chance? Is it few days after switching or is it a week or something?

    Can I take cuttings/clones after switching to 12/12?

    It takes about 2 weeks to start flowering after switching to 12/12 to my understanding. Within this time, is it a good time to take cuttings or should it be done definitely before swtiching to 12/12 in order to not having to re-veg them from flowering stage? What if I don't know yet if my...

    How long and how can clones be stored?

    How long can clones be stored and what's the best way? I need to store them like 3-4 months. Possible? Putting stems in water and refrigerating?

    Intake and exhaust - ventilation.

    From what I've heard, passive intake should be 2 times the diameter of exhaust fan for the air to flow freely. Not sure if it's the fact, but.. What if I don't want to make such big hole for the intake and I want to install an intake fan instead? Does it have to be as powerful as exhaust fan...

    Emergency! Snapping gone bad

    Isn't bending and supercropping the same? It sounds like "SNAP" when I do it. At first I squeeze the stem tightly between my fingers and then "snap" comes from the stem. Then I bend the plant. Slowly. It bends right from where I squeezed with my fingers. Did I make myself more clear now?

    Emergency! Snapping gone bad

    Have anyone had a plant turning extremely droopy after supercropping and then recovered later?

    Emergency! Snapping gone bad

    Fuck.. sorry for using a wrong word. Supercropping is more correct I guess - bending!

    Sounds like it.

    Emergency! Snapping gone bad

    Unfortunately I don't have pictures to snow at the moment. Okay, I didn't know that. I've done this before once and the plants have taken it without difficulties. Just imagine a 5-6 feet tall plant and its upper half being bent down horizontally and held in place with a garden tape. Maybe...

    Emergency! Snapping gone bad

    I've snapped (sorry, I meant bending, not snapping) most of the plants already. I'm basically taking the plant and snapping them 90 degrees to lower them from the lights and at the same time cover more horizontal area. It's supposed to be low stress training to my understanding, but few of them...

    4 days old water with nutes - can I use it?

    Thank you for your reply. It sums it up pretty well I guess.

    4 days old water with nutes - can I use it?

    I'm not lazy. I want to know. Tried really hard to find some info, but couldn't. Everything is about DWC aquariums - brown algae is bad. What about Coco? They are 2 different kind of growing medium. I'd be glad to know the answer.
