Well I was thinking, it would probally be alot faster to just grow buds, instead of using clones. Keep the mother in flower and clip the buds as the come. Its just a theory, but you should be able to fit alot more buds into an area than clones. And the yeild could be better depending on how big you could grow the bud afterward. Im thinking the buds could use the light more effeciently on thier own then sharing it on a plant, sound plausable? I do know the leaves are what absorb the light, would there be enough on the bud itself to keep it alive? I guess the expirment would be to see if you could get the bud to grow bigger on its own as aposed to on the plant. And yes im a n00b, never grown before, but im working on it, want to get everything right. I definately dont have enough $$$ for this method. I want someone with a better grow and more experience to try this method. :P
