alright well my master kush babies are about 4 weeks old im bout to put in 12/12 i should find out the sex veryyyyy soon and i was wondering what would the yield per plant be if i cloned and just put them straight into 12/12 with the other plants i grew from seed. im probley gonna veg half the clones and put the other half in 12/12 (if the yield is good enough per plant and if this is even possible well please let here some advice from you pros

thanks peace

I dont know about with soil... I might have tried it and just dont rememeber:P
I did it with soil and choped her down 5 weeks early, it was a 8 inch plant that was just all bud. but it was way unripe so it would have beeneven better.

well i have a 4x4 ebb and flow table with a 1000 watt super hps i mean is it a good idea to do 12/12 right when i clone, i want fast yields but i dont want no like 1 oz per plant if it is 1oz id rather veg for 4 weeks

yea youde probably only get 1 1.5 oz a plant. let them veg and put 2 straigh into 12/12 inbetween where the other plants will be?

Damn, I am the 2nd person minus the OP to post in thread with like 15 posts..haha. Anyways, I would vote to veg for a little bit at least. I personally have not gone straight to flower from clone, but I have seen some pictures of others. They are nice, and full of bud, but they are small. I really don't think you would get over an ounce per plant doing that method. Some of them may not even be an ounce, could yield 1/2-3/4.. You could try it with some of them and experiment to see if the saved time is worth it. Let me know if you yield over an ounce, I will give you mad props and ask for your growing technique :mrgreen:

ok, putting clones straight to bloom from little or no veg (only rooting time in propagator) is ok. The clones will grow but they won't grow as much as if you vegged em for a while. The amount of nodes and inter nodes is restricted when growing this way.

When I grew this way, my objective was to try and get 20 Oz from a dual flow flood and drain under 600W-hps in the least time possible. I experimented with NO veg time. I got little more than 30% of the 20 Oz objective. The final dry weight from 32 clones in 32 net pots was 6-7 Oz bone dry.

I had problems with the configuration. In those days I was sharing a grow room with a large number of potted plants that weren't at the same stage in their development as what was on the hydro. The potted plants were being looked after by someone else and had little or nowt to do with me. When the soil plants were finished the other person didn't give me the extra 2-3weeks i needed to bring my hydro attempt to its end. Instead, once they harvested their shyt they bumped the light cycle back to 18/6 at a time when my dro would have been about to pack on the most weight.

I'm experimenting with this Zero Veg thing once again as my previous results were tainted. I no longer share grow rooms or have the threat of someone fkn with my photo period. Personally, if you are looking for a high yield of you favorite medicine then I would veg whatever you put on your system for at least 5 days. You need the node and inter node production from vegging to give you bud sites. 1kW doesn't matter much, just means you probably will not get any bud that isn't totally dense.

I'm making many assumptions. I've been receiving clones for years and they arrive in different sizes and conditions all the time. Some clones I've bought had been bloomed at 4 inches and finished at 24 inches. Numerous factors will determine your final product, so it isn't quite as straight forward as Yes/No

Hope my nonsense answer helps

hahaa well thank you very much for your input ya i guess im just gonna take clones of my plants and then harvest the ones im takin clones off of (hopefully there will be lots of bud left), i guess ill veg the clones for a week or 2 and throw it in the room with the others, hopefully master kush and aurora b look good and have a decent yield
