Loops I just noticed that ive been using a 14/10 light cycle on my plants, vie got a handful of clones and three nice size plants, the og kush has started to flower, but the two wonder haze hasn't ....what should I do

I'm thinking put the big ones in to flower then put the clones onto 24 hours for a week or too.

Any help help or opinions would be greatly appreciated, thanx!

do you want mother plants? even if they started to flower stick them under 24 hours of light and they will revert back to veg stage
 
Its a bad idea to f*** with your lights once the "season" has begun.

I would prepare new clones soon, but flower these out naturally. ie.. leave it at 14 until the other two are a bit bigger, then switch to 12/12.

It would be a very good idea to switch to 10/14 late in the flower to simulate a low light region, which the plant expects. They may even finish a tiny bit quicker so you can get your new clones in

yes thats true if you have access to clones all the time but alot of people don't so they have to make mother plants to get more clones. reverting them back to veg stage will NOT hurt them at all

Yeah i've got og kush and super lemon haze, and I was really hoping to make a couple mothers out of those clones, so I can put the clones back veg cycle right?

And yeah the problem is everything I have is either flowering or on 14/10, I'll be screwed if I keep everything natural

weed does not normally flower with 14/10. it takes 12 hours of continuous darkness a day under normal conditions to start flowering (not sure what happened with your kush). your clones are still vegging and you can change to any light cycle that has less than 12 hours of darkness and they'll be just fine. the only real difference between 24/0, 18/6 or 14/10 is that the more time the light is on, the faster the plants will grow. switching between cycle times in that range should have no negative effect on the plants.

you'll be fine if you put them back on 18/6, but i found 24/0 has a faster growth rate. sounds like some good strains you def wanna make some moms outta them.
