problem with flowering a clone is that because its an adult plant it will probably flower straight away and end up small, , the 20 or so cones i have done i let get to 12 inches first.

how long do you veg and what do you pull using what lights? 12-12 keeps things easy and i put plants in at intervals without worrying about different light schedules

this is all approximate 2 weeks in seed under 2 x 55 watt fluro, 4 weeks in veg under either 600 hps or 400 mh(depends how i feel), plants are usually around 2', then into 12/12 under 600 hps for 7-9 weeks, basic old school organic soil grow with only 2 nutes(bio bizz grow and bloom) a little treacle over the last 3 weeks. 3oz per plant average(pulled crazy fuckin 7oz from an la woman once, dunno how, wish to fuck i did). thats my standard routine, it gets varied now and then but thats the blueprint. ive started topping all my plants now coz some were hitting 5' and my tents only 6 1/2'. i would probably hit 4 oz average if i pulled my finger oot ma arse and maybe bought a booster food for flower, but ahm a lazy tight arsed cunt.

im impressed dura thats some good weight, thats around 14-15 weeks with 4 weeks 18 hours light for 3 oz, i reckon i can pull 2-3 oz per plant with no 18 hour shifts, i reckon when you add things up its 6 of 1 and half dozen of the other mate.

You thought about wacking a massive great screen across your tent dura? would solve your height issue and might get that QP a plant easier. BUT that would involve more work, lol, we know how you hate work.

Those plants you posted just now, what size pots are they in? Just for size reference. Shows how efficient single cola growing can be though.

the pots are 1 x 11 litre 1 x 7.5 litre an 2 x 6 litre, i think the tallest plant is 33 inches from coco to tip of cola, still 4 weeks to go , think they are going to be 2 oz each easy.

i jus follow a routine that my mate did, he was the 1st to get into this in a kinda organized way, he sat on the net and did all the study and i watched and learned, i went on the net my self and although i tweaked a few things it was really his gameplan i followed and still do(if it aint broke dont fix it) my major prob is i dont go and buy new bulbs, i dont spend the time on the plants and i'm basically a fuckin drunk that lurches from crisis to chaos, but what the hell its all fun

hey dura i forgot to ask,how many plants you getting under a 600 light
between 4 and 6 although i own 2 tents (4' x 4' x 6.5') i also have a chamber i built thats roughly 9' x 3.5' x 7', in the chamber ive grown around 9 or 10 plants, the chamber currently has 2 x 600 dual spec hps but temps are running too high so i think im gonna drop that to 2x 400watt. its just a case of me getting a bit more organised so that all space is being used at optimum levels. right now i have 9 in the chamber all 5 weeks into flower, one tent has 8 in it veggin under 400 mh all around 14" high, 4 will be repotted into soil, the other four are goin to get the dirt washed off and be popped into my dwc later this week, shoulda been last week but ...hey u all know what im like! the pots sizes for soil are 3 gallon with a few ten litre buckets, i looked at sog and scrog but i'll leave that for the future.
