Question on Cloning

[dboy]

Grow a plant long enough and it will show its sex in the veg state. Every mother I have (5 right now) has calyxes and pistils, since the plants are technically so old. They are what you would consider "preflowers" I guess.

I'm showing my sex right now, and believe me, it AINT pre-flowers; although I am clearly in a veg-state.

If this is true, how do you know it is female, and if not, if it was male, wouldn't you clones also be male? On my next grow, I am thinking I want to make one a mother for clones. Rating: 5

I'm bored, so I will type this out. You clone your plants while they are in veg stage and you carefully mark them to identify them with the plants they came from. Once you flower the plants you took the cuttings from and you determine sex, then you know what clones to keep, and what clones to shitcan.

I love this answer :smokin:

People have been known to keep the same mother alive for 5 years with out ever taking it to flowering stage, hence, they keep the same plant to clone from for years.

Once you plant is a month old in veg.=6 weeks from seed, approx.

You take a clone. or 2, or 3. :smokin:

Start 3 plants. take 3 clones from each. Veg for 2 weeks after *rooting.

after 2 weeks of veg=4 weeks from cutting... You flower clones.

2 weeks later, approx... Clones show sex. Kill the males. Keep Mothers in perpetual Veg :smokin:

Does that answer your question? Peace

*You must learn to clone successfully. there are numerous threads, and a Growfaq or 2 in the Forums.
