First cfl Closet Grow

Weed Modifier
When I take cuttings I look for a branch( usually a bottom one) at least 3-4" long... yours do look short/bushy, which is good, but I would wait another week or so and see if the secondary branching will start to grow a bit more so that you can take a good clone...ie remember some of the cutting will be below ground too, so that's why I like a 3-4" branch to take from :)

Have you taken any cuttings before? or will this be your first time?

yeah ive taken some before for a friend but his plant was already 4ft tall im proud to say they rooted in 5 days but these are only 5 3/4 and 5 in. there lower branches already have secondary growth but look way to short to have any going into the rockwool if i were to take clones now so ill just wait untill next week, tomorrow im going on full strength nutes to look for nute burn hopefully there ready for full strength :) i cut some fan leaves out so the bottom leaves could get more light only did it on 1 plant do to its bushyness the other one is a bit taller but not as bushy but still good and firm branches and stems. as a matter of fact going to take some pics of the remaining females to show them off to RIU :) will post them later

like 2ftx2ftx6ft but thats just the room for the mother plants there are only 2 so far soon to be 1 if 1 of the plants doesnt show some serious growth soon
the clones seem top all be healthy no yellowing of the leaves cut about 1/3 of the tips off so it'll transpire less and focus on root growth have the 4 clones under one daylight cfl for 24/0 gonna add a veg cfl when i get a dual outlet.they both are showing big broad leaves short in height indica traits so far.this is them like 4 days ago they have really grown since then will post more when i find the camera oh yeah i forgot to add like about 1week and 3 days ago i had spider mites but i was killing them off 1 by 1 than i did a 50/50 water/alcohol mix let sit for like 2 mins then rinsed off killed them as of so far but ill wait on them for about 2 weeks from last sighting until i declare them dead for sure.d.jpg

well lime thanks for the support heres the pics:) so i went from 2 25w coolwhite and 2 20w daylight bulbs 2 40w daylight bulbs to all these bulbs and 3 100w hps bulbs. 2nd week of flowering one is getting weight and the other is growing pistols fast so shell be there soon:D first grow and going good i still dont have a tds meter so ill have to get one for my next grow and more res's and pumps for the clones that just rooted i have like 5 rooted and i think they where called monster clones due to bushyness of these types of cuttings? when you take a clone off a topped branch.before.jpgafter.jpgafter2.jpgyou can really see the change in color from the new lights:D oh yeah is 1900 kelvin color temperature good for plants thats what these bulbs give off?
