Do you get sad when you flip your plants to 12/12?

I was only able to veg them for 2 weeks since I have to go on vacation the end of august and no one will be at my flat to watch them so they have to finish before then. For some reason i feel sad, almost like I let them down. They look so healthy and happy and I feel like I'm ending their life early. Now Stoney ain't the type of guy to feel sad mind you. Hell I could lose money, food, personal belongings and forget about it but these little girls just make me sad. I can't even clone them.

Veg em out and take cutting right before you leave, ten you should have rooted clones when you get back maybe?

Yea thats the thing mate. No one to water em while I'm gone or to make sure everything working properly. thanks for the suggestion though, I'd clone these babies in a heartbeat. They're such fast growers and smell so good i love them so much.

how long are you going on vacation for? You could take cuts and put them in an aerocloner with lights on 24/7. Get the environment right and come back to rooted clones!

Yea I could try that. heard good things about the aerocloner. But the thing is I'll be gone fer a little over 2 weeks. Before they even germinated I had a set date from start to finish because I had this trip planned out for awhile. And I honestly want them to finish before I go so I can start some OG kush but these are the most beautiful plants if I've ever seen mate. Guess i gotta do what i gotta do. Thanks for the response.

I'm thinking he was just looking for moral support, more than a practical solution.

Exactly what I was thinking.

Even a cheep ass plastic propitiator w a dome. Take your cuts day before you leave, fill w water, mist, and they should be rooting and ready to transplant right upon your return.

^^^^^ or they'll be dried up rotten stems of nothingness but hey life's a gamble, throw the dice. And it's gonna be close with the ones your growing now as to the finish time, if it's a real quick one your probably just gonna make it. To make you stop feeling so sad lol I typically only veg for 21 days and sometimes that's too long re final size .

i'm growin 8 week strains mate. If anything they'll be done weeks before I leave. I know 100% they'll make it. Yea I know a lad that only vegges for 21 days on all of his plants, they finish nice and chunky.

I love the flip..bills get whacked in half and less wear n tear on equipment.

I think its sad when I have to get rid of mother plants . I actually got really depressed once a black berry flavored once stated to lose its genetics I did every thing on earth possible to keep her going . she was just tired of me cutting clones off her and I love the clones it made finished product was amazing people loved it . this was 2 years ago I am still trying to find another one as good as this one no luck . thc bomb is close but a bit far away . I don't know the strand of the black berry never to be found again dense super insane strong large yielder smooth smoke . tried 20 or so cheese ak diesel thc berry bomb cindy 99 so on and so on . It was almost like losing a dog ! .
