clones and lighting

[smokinbuds21]

i have a plant i would like to make clones with i have a nother plant which is in the flowering stage can i put the clones in the same growing area as the plant that is flowering which is 12/12 lighting?

or should i make another area for the clones so they can be 18/6 whats the hours for the clones and the fastest way for them to grow and be ready for flowering?

thanx for any reply and suggestions!!!!:rastasmoke:

make another room with the lights at 18/6

[smokinbuds21]

figured as much thanx for the quick reply

you wouldnt know how long to let them veg for would ya

should i just let them veg to the size i would like?

[WildFire.ca]

Let them veg until they are half as big as you want them to get. Longer the veg the bigger the plant the more bud you will get. What kind of lights are you going to be running?

[smokinbuds21]

i am already using fluros

4 compact fluros 23 watt 1600 lumens each

2 t8 1000 lumens 15 watts each

2 t12 tubes fat ones around 850 lumens and 15 watts also

its somewhere around 15 watts and 7000 lumens

That should be good for veg. I cant comment on using them for flowering, as I switch to a HPS, and only use my cfl's for veg. I'll leave that for someone else.

[smokinbuds21]

i know and have talk to alot of people who use fluros the hole time and actually get good bud quick

you should do one shelf grow and use nothing but fluro's the hole time and see if its for you or not

When I get my plants over 18in the light from my 200w cfl does not penetrate properly to the lower part of the plant and I start to get yellow leaves until I fire the HID's. I don't run the cfl's for side lighting in veg only in flower. One sec I'll send you a pic

[smokinbuds21]

[Maximiliannnn]

make another grow room, with some cfls or something

[smokinbuds21]

already did today

[smokinbuds21]

i planted clones yesterday what is the water cycle when first starting out?

i have been just tryin to keep the dirt moist using a tablespoon to water it so i dont over water

is that right?

[Forwhat420]

if possible you get a mist sprayer for the store.......do you have a humidity dome for the clones. this would be nice, especially because there is no root yet therefore the plants take in moisture through the leaves

[Forwhat420]

from the store sry..i picked one up from familiy dollar

[smokinbuds21]

yea i have a dome and a sprayer thanks

[Forwhat420]

lol..ok didnt notice

[smokinbuds21]

well i cant find my dome but i got my sprayer anyways my leaves are starting to turn yellow the 'tips' should i just trim the outer leaves?

i also have been keeping the soil damp with the same water and liquid fertilizer i used on the plant where the clones came from!

what should i do about the humidity

[msalen]

I have used plastic wrap to cover my clones in a bind.

you have to spray for 10-14 days

[smokinbuds21]

ive been spraying everyday im now starting to see 2 of them start to grow little leaves at the top of the plant so i guess the roots are starting to grow i have a nother question though can i sprinkle maybe a half of that root stimulater into the dirt with all my plants will it help it grow really good roots? or is it pointless and half to be on the plant itself and then planted into dirt?

[WildFire.ca]

Thats what I do as soon as I start to see growth. I slowly start feeding the plant via the soil with the spray. It takes about 2 weeks for it to be able to feed totally on the roots

[smokinbuds21]

i just added a little dynamite to the clones after seeing good growth i guess this will help only used a little though i have been saturating the dirt evertime it gets dry!!!! ill post some pics when there worth it thanx
