wouldn't it be potentially faster just to keep all your plants in veg and wait for pre-flowering??? no?

i'm starting from 10seeds of northern lights, and going to be creating one mother from that; hopefully i'll get a few females



ps: thanks stinky, i may try that. so as soon as your clones show sex you put them back inder 18hr and they revert to veg?

i'm definitely not waiting for clones to grow up, to flower them and get my first bud. hoping that i might get 3 females from 10seeds and if i did, i'd take the best as mother, the other two and flower them.

but i'm wondering if force-flowering clones is really the fastest way to go?

could i for example: veg the 10seeds (or however many i get to grow of course), and then put them all under 12/12, see what are females, kill the rest, and then keep flowering all the females but the best one, which i'd PUT BACK under 18hr to veg? is that possible?


to start i'll have 170-ish watts of cfl's, and then i'll add a 250w hps once the plants are hearty, still under 18hr, so hopefully they'll grow quick, but i just want to be able to determine sex as fast as possible.

once i've got a mother, and then clones, and others flowering, i'll be using seperate rooms, eventually i'm thinking grow-cabs are in my future


thanks

seeds will arrive any day from docchronic and i'm excited like nobody's biz. also have chilled and become less paranoid put a nice new lock on the bedroom door today and i'm getting shit settled.

first grow! exciting!

The simple version I posted this in answer to another members query, up board, and I thought it might be useful to someone, somewhere. How to find the Mother Plant 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.
