Just a few simple questions... im to :eyesmoke:

Iv got 3 good size mother plants, just started to bud them as its getting closer 2 xmas and i want some blaze... but

i took 40 cuttings, a few from each...

(a) i have a fluro setup with a propagation box, if i root them properly, chuck them straight under my 400w and put them straight onto 12/12 will they shock and turn to males or anything, and will they bud, how long will they take to bud up nicely and fill out properly???

(b) i took some cuttings with about 3 day old flowers on them, they seem to be very healthy in the "propargation box" (sp)
if i do the same with these will they work out ok??? if so ill cut a f*ckload more???

sorry for not searching, you must know what its like sometimes..

Thanks in advance for anyone that can help me out with this idea.....
im growing in pots, under 400w lucragrow bulbs, cuttings are done under a growlux purple fluro... using blood and bone and a floliar spray.

cheers!!! bongsmilie

are the plants you took the clones off budding now and are they female if so you will get female plants if not you will get male.i cannot say for certain about what your clones will do because if you took them off a plant on a 12/12 cycle and now you have them on a 24/0 cycle you are turning them back to a vege cycle and being on a flower stage when you took them they may take longer to come away and look normal as well but after that you could flick them straight away but they will not be very big.:peace: hoped this helped

they came off a plant that started flowering on the 18/6, so i took cuttings and put it on 12/12

they will get veged for about a week, then straight onto bud, i want atleast 1/2 - 1 1/2 oz. per plant...

When you take your cuttings just put them into 18/6 light right away and keep it there, it will clone, just takes a bit longer. You cannot change the sex EVER, if you are cloning from a pure female plant you will get female plants, its impossible for them to turn male.

Cuttings taken from flowering plants will revert back to veg stage after a couple weeks of 18/6 or 24/0 lighting, I have done it many times.

you said they came off a plant that was budding on a 18/6 hour light cycle.that doesnt make any sense sorry mate vege cycle is 18/6 or above and bud cycle is 12/12. unless it was an autoflowering strain in which case i have been told you cannot clone these.i find it hard to believe that you have a plant which has been on a 18/6 hour light cycle is budding,it is not in the plants natueral life cycle to do this.

Maybe what your referring to instead of flowering, they are actually preflowers. Or do you actually have big colas going?

I think you might be too stoned to read also.:eyesmoke: Reread this a few times and see if it answers your question.
