Michigan Growers Tell Your Plans for This Year

I'm not really sure what to do with my clones at this point. They have been in the jiffy greenhouse in the pellets for about a week now. I've been misting them with water a couple times a day.
They look nice and healthy, but because there in the jiffy pellets I can't tell if there growing roots yet. How long should I keep misting them in the green house?
One of them is growing into the top of the greenhouse and I'd like to put it in a pot but I don't know if its too soon.
Any help would be appreciated.

i use an aero-cloner...so not sure if its the same but ive never had a plant grow in the cloner before it had roots...once they get roots they start to shoot up a bit....in my experience anyway. so i'd say if they are growing, then they are probably rooted, or starting to root.

That's what I was thinking too. I've never cloned before and to be honest I figured they would be dead by now.

Go to Mc Donalds and buy a large shake drink the shake and wash the cup out use it for a green house
The hole in the top lets some of the moisture out but keeps it humid
Also keeping the jiffy pots warm speeds up rooting
Hope that helps you

CMT nice seed colection saw it on another tread

I am waiting till the middle of May and you will need the plants on about 18 light and 6 dark this should keep them in veg till flowering there is no real 12/12 during the grow season here
thanks for the info green dave! i am currently growing indoors and my veg is at 18/6, so basically you are saying that once they receive less then 18 hours of light outdoors that they will start to flower?

It is srtain dependant but they should be fine and continue to veg for a month then start flowering

How long should I harden my ladies to full sun light? They veg under cfls.
Would it be safe to make a greenhouse and leave out, or would they start flowering.
Plan on putting out sometime after mothers day.

You should harden off until you feel as though the plant is ready.

I see this question of "if I stick my plants out will they begin to flower" Answer - When you stick your plants outside with the shorter days they "your plants" do consider flowering! This is the thing though ... Due to the increased minutes per day your plants will decide to veg.

When you stick a plant out sometimes it does not grow for a week or so. This is because for a week your plant is stuck in limbo and stops growing while it makes up it's mind on wether or not it should flower because of the shorter days. Eventually the plant reconizes the fact that every day is getting like 3 or so minutes longer.

So in a week and a half of observing the enviroment the plant will begin to take off with all that stored energy into veg. Seeing as how in a week and a half the day has gotten say 20 minutes plus longer.

Growing outdoors you are out of indoors enviroment - Some things change Some things are diffrent. It is another world outdoors.

I offically have plants in the ground.. Between storms today I got out and put my plants that weren't good enough to be mothers in the ground.. I had to free up space inside for my clones, I couldn't get enough light in the freezer for all of them, some of the ones in the back started stretching... Im not concerned with temps anymore at all, they are big enough to handle a light frost if need be.. Im more worried about the rain then anything now, Hopefully it's almost over with.. Im ready to see May flowers, and get my clones outside.. I've only been giving them 15hrs of light since I cut them, I want my light cycles to match when they get outside.. I dont want that lag period you talked about earlier.. My philosophy is keep them alive inside and let them do their growing outside... I keep my lights at 20 hrs for the first 2 weeks after they sprout, Then knock them down to 15.. Just enough light to keep them from flowering, I'd rather have them stunted for a couple weeks inside, So when they go outside they take right off.. In my eperience an outdoor plant will grow more in 1 week then an indoor plant will in a month...
