Cloning is not an easy process, So read up on that if you want to give it a go. Now is probably a fine time to start flower. Remember that they double, triple and sometime's quadruple in size during flower.
A little hint on cloning, Remember in 3rd grade when your teacher had you grow marigold or whatever in a 2-liter bottle with saran wrap on top. Then we had put them in a windowsill,
That has much of the principles of cloning in that experiment.
Well I am now two days into flowering, and have switched my plants over to 12 12 light cycle. It turns out that my best plant was a male so I had to pull it out. I have now run out of room for LSTing, so I am let my plants grow upwards now. My lights have been switchd to red color for optimal flowering. I think i did pretty good 1 out of 5 plants male, I would say that is a pretty good ratio. Here are some pictures of my crop

lookin good man thats one of the nicest cfl grows i seen in a while:thumbsup:
Well I am now a week into flowering. I have started feeding my plants 5-30-5 bloom nutes and adding sugar to the water mix. Im not sure if this is better or worse the molasses but, i think it will have to same effect. I have added a 150watt HPS light into my grow cab along with the full setup of CFL bulbs. So now I have a mix of lights. I didnt realize how much more watering my plants needed, I almost killed one of them by not watering it enough. I solved a problem with my PH also where it was to alkaline, so i started adding a cup of lemon juice to the water to bring the PH down and it seems to have worked well. Because of my early low stress training ( Thanks zcomp) I have over twice the bud sites that I would have had otherwise. I just hope the plant dont outgrow my cab, I have about 3 feet of verticle room left.

lookin goood!! :)
Its a shame when your actually sorry you didn't get more males. I had a space issue too after 5/6 of my seeds turned Fem. Turns out though that 2 of my friends where happy to receive a fem.(I only had space for 3).
That does look pretty stuffy. whats your RH?? do you have a min/max humidity meter??
Once budding really starts your gonna have to keep a close eye on that. Dense buds need under 60% RH.
Keep up the good work :thumbsup: .
whats RH? and no i dont have a humidity meter.
RH = Relative Humidity(Average Humidity), Hey no prob you don't have one. You should stop at walmart and check one out. Mine is about 2"*3", its digital and has a "min" and "max" button(this way I can check how it got overnight).
Its not a big prob until about 1 to 1-1/2 Months into flower. After that you'll need to check it. Good airflow is #1 when buds hit.
Check you out soon.
Ps. I found the meter in the home section not the garden for my store. Yours may be diff. but don't give up. You need one and there only about $6.
Joe, I started my grow on 12-12 just about the same time as you...we're still on pace for a coincidental harvest. I also have a space issue as my first dozen to sex were females! I still have two bubblegum to sex as they got a few week later start when the first batch of BG seedlings didn't fare well.
Oh, and your plants are looking healthy as heck!
Shov
More!!! The people demand more Flicks!!! Nice Grow.
well its now week two of flowering and the plants are growing some really nice buds. I have been misting in the cab to keep the humidity up and have increased the bloom nutes. My PH is still under control and the plants are really getting fat.
