Should i even bother flowering?

I was just kidding im plenty patient. Just drives me nuts running my 600w for 3 months without any results (as to what i want) feels like im wasting $$ on electricity and nutes. And have a stressed out mama to show for it.

I truly appreciate your advice. I grew many years ago and didnt have much trouble cloning then.. just frustrated at this point now.

Ill most likely wait it out a week after a hefty watering and try again then.

Try several cloning methods. Medium in a dome (I used perlite and vermiculite), rock wool cubes, and bubble cloning. I've done all 3 and currently run 2 bubble cloning vats that I made. The other two methods worked, but this way I don't have to mess with the dome or mediums. Plus I have the vats close enough to my veg lights that I don't need to run the CFLs.

I would get some rapid rooter cubes and lose the cloning gel.... And get a heat mat, it really helps

I've ised both with no issues, I doubt it's the gel, scrSpe the stem as it really helps roots come through. Also I understand sterility can help but I always use whTever is sitting around like dirty hash scissors and have never had issues

how long after watering are you taking clones and how soft is the plant material when you clone? If it's woody and hard you're going to have a lot harder time getting them to root. And if the mother was root bound i would bet she hasn't been putting on a lot of soft tissue new growth. Wait till you have some good new shoots that are very pliable and at least 6" long. That's when i have best results. I also use Jiffy tomato plugs or rapid rooters. I normally see roots starting around 7 days.

My plants are bigger than that in a pot half that size.

What I'm seeing in your picture looks like a bucket that you didn't drill any holes in the bottom of for draining. I think it's just drowning because all that water you've poured in it has no place to go.

This plant right here is in a 2.5 gallon nursery pot. It's in week 3 flower and just short of 4 feet tall:

6 weeks.

They're so heavy now I just got through staking and zip tying one of them. I'm thinking the bigger plant is going to give me about 6 ounces alone.

This is what she looks like now.. shes due for a good watering today after work.
