What you did was force them into flower too early. They are clones, so the cells are the same "age" as the cells from the parent plant. With clones if you start them on 12/12 right away, they'll flower right away since the cells are "older" in a sense, whereas from seed, it would've taken longer.

But they were clones, genetically identical to the parent, if the parents were female (most folks only clone fems, except breeders) the clones will be female. You veg a plant under at least 14 hours of light/10 hours dark, I prefer 18/6 or 24/0 for veg. You wait till the plant is however big you might want it then switch to 12/12, expect the plant to double in height during the first 2-3 wks of flowering.

it`s hard to give ya advice without knowing all the facts or having a picture.
i would love to help, but without these things, i only would be guessing.

[lady1]

:( :eek:

thanks for your reply. i had know idea what was happing to them my friend who gave them to me and just told me to put them under light for 18/6 and give them water every 2 days/ he gave me ten clones and the mother to grow so i put them all together..(duno if that was right)..he also gave me a, I thinks its a 400w light and told me to put it *an arms leight* away from them....
*(and she'll be right)* is what he said ,that didnt sound to covinceing to me,
I know i should have done my homework be it didn't acrure to me that i was doing wrong i have just put them on 12/12 because another mate said to its only been 1 day at 12/12 , but by the sounds of it They were already forced cause they look the same as they were when i got them, i will try and get a pic but it sounds like a waste of time ....Question... what do i do now :confused:

Hopeful lady102938

you have a very kind friend! he told you correctly too...just left out a few details. but you already have a huge head-start on most by having mature female clones and with you already having a greenthumb, it should be a breeze...

for more info:

and feel free to ask here too. grow help can also be found at www.marihemp.com boards (also our sister site)

any chance of some of those clones going into the ground outside?

[mellow mood]

in any case your friends is cool! maybe he wants to be more than your friend giving u all this stuff haha

"what do i do now?" you keep growing.

Like an earlier post said if you were given clones and a mother plant then your clones are female.

Throw your mother plant in a diff room, or outside, you don't want to flower this, ust keep her veging and making little baby MJ's

continue the 12/12 cycle with the clones for another 6 weeks, while that stuff is drying get your friend back over to cut you some new clones, watch and learn, you can read a thousand grow guides and not be sure but it only takes 5 minutes of seeing it done once to learn.

good luck with the plants.

smoke on.

Read the link del put up, it's a very good source of info.
Also check out
http://www.advancednutrients.com/new2/homeframe.html
go to the grow info links on the left side and click on training videos, watch them and then ask questions if you are still confused. But the time you spend researching will pay big dividends.

As for the light, put your hand at the plant's top level, it it feels hot the light is too close. Move the light so that your hand at plant level is a little warm but still comfortable. Probably be about 1-2ft away depending on ambient temps in your area. Get a thermometer and check the temp at canopy level, it should be about 70-80 deg F.

[lady1]

If Clone is still baby , there , then best using fluro -light and keep warm with good humidity unless clone plant grew up by over 1 ft before ready to use 400w light metal halide or generic "phillip" hps light under 12/12 or 18/6 either till it become good yield-growing before flowering start to process
Example:
veg-stage with food nutirents by
2.5ml fish mix or thrive B or greensea
5ml grow nutirent
2.5ml bloom nutirent to mix up in big pail and let mixed fuild resting for over 30 mins or 60 mins or oxygen air pump (waterproof) feed o2 to mix food nutirents for ready feeding
if your plants get ready for flowering then no light for 1 day then use real hps light with 12/12.
Example with food nutirents
2.5ml fish mix or greensea
2.5ml grow nutrient
5ml bloom nutrient
2.5 to 3 ml flowering or bud nutirent to feed them with flowering grew up , Lucky ! :p
