Ya hit that 7gal and she's gonna blow up fast.

It's going to kick out a lot of growth below for clones. The more you open it up and spread it out the clones will pop all over.

I puffed on some CJ last night. Wicked potent stuff. Not a big yielding plant but damn it's fire on a stick.

Can't wait! I'll be practicing taking clones, gonna be a good time. With her growth rate it won't take her long to fill out the flower tent. We love fire sticks!

I got CJ plant 2&3 bagged up.. 7.4 and 7.8oz. I'll take it and was kinda surprised. Not a big harvest but more than expected so far. #1 is still drying but will prob be close to the others. Not big buds but heavy in weight and solid.

Bagged up the Blue Moon Rocks as well. 13.4oz for two plants. I'll take that too. I didn't expect much from them with the flipping before revegged but they popped out some big old buds. No doubt in my mind I can do much better with a normal run of these. I've got clones cooking so just a matter of time.

Hey bud, fwiw cloning from healthy vigorous growing plants they'll generally root fairly quickly assuming environment is good.

Try cloning when it's not criticaly important, wait to wk 2/3 after flipping, you know that stage after flip when they're really starting to fill out, that's a good time to clone for reliable rooting.

Idk but I suspect there's lots of growth hormones or something, idk the science it might just simply be the vigorous growth phase that's responsible, regardless it's a good time to try it.

Good luck

The Bloom Oasis
Day 138
Flower Day 66/67

In conclusion, this grow has been a real success, and I’m thrilled with the results. The small sample harvested on day 63 already blew my "tester" away! Confirming what I’ve learned about trusting my own judgment when it comes to harvest time. While the trichomes offered a clue, I decided the plants looked ready to peak and pulled them at what felt like the right moment. Harvest time can be controversial, but as I’ve said before, the key is reading your plants and finding your own rhythm. Thanks to everyone who followed along, with a special shout-out to @shnkrmn tips that made a big impact with BOO. I’ve gained valuable experience, and I’ll definitely be refining my methods moving forward. Here’s to another successful grow, and onward to the next one!

Flowering clones can also buy you time and save work and expense when the outcome is uncertain, like pheno hunting for example.

I don't want to be looking after 15/20 vigorous growing clones when i know most of them will end up in the bin.

Cloned taken wk 4/5 take long enough to re veg that the mums have flowered and dried, tested around the time the flower clones are really re vegging, it's a effective labour saving method the clones are doing nothing for most of the time.

There's other benefits to flower clones, imo the overall growth style and shape make them well suited to being short mums, then for flowering...well you just need to look @Fatjoe crops they're top drawer!
