clones

[jamesbrookes]

i want to give some of my friends some clones. when would be a good time in the plants life to chop of a branch or whatever?

I imagine you are going to root the clones before giving to friends?

I've swapped a few clones around with some friends, its fun and saves time. I usually have a dozen in the cloner in case of emergency. ;)

Right now I have a bonsai "widow" and "skunk 1"

Are you going to flower that plant or make it a mom?

[jamesbrookes]

flower most likely

Cut clones during veg but withhold N for about a week and a half before taking them- feeding a bloom fert with superthrive during that time is what I've done in the past; the extra phosphorous and Thiamine is beneficial to rooting.

stinky how am i supposed to know if they are fems if i cut some while still in veg?

Well James,

You would have to label them alone with the parent then flower. After you determine the sex then you remove the males parent then clone the females mother for the rest of your life.
