Cheers Mr C, that was along the lines i was thinking. i'll go ahead with taking cuttings tomorrow and root them in a propagator for a week and a half under a 24w blue spectrum flourescent.

I have 2 of these flourescents but have been told you dont want too much light for cuttings as they try to grow too much foliage before having rooted properly, still im not sure if 48w would warrant too much though... any thoughts?

Am i right in thinking you have to wait for them to root before putting them on 12/12? or will they root while flowering?

Well while my cuttings are rooting or flowering my originals have another fortnight or so to veg which i defo think they need as theyre only 7 inch tall due to some ph problems that have just been sorted.
What height is the minimum you guys would flower, my book say 12-18 inches, i dont mind changing to flower while shorter than that but i was hoping for 2oz a plant, would the flowering schedules' growth compensate more if the plants are short or does it just multiply what they have gotten to in veg?

Now when i take cuttings tomorrow do you think i should wait to repot them another day because it'd be too much stress at once? they are due a repot though so might not be an option this grow but i'd like to know for next time.

With cuttings in a propagator though, should the vents be opened or closed to start with and opened gradually as with seeds? i have a couple of books and have read alot of posts here and know what to do in steps but havent found the reasoning behind what position these vents should be, could you explain what goes on?

quite a few q's there but i wanna get this perfect :bonghit:
smackhead1984 Reviewed by smackhead1984 on . cuttings in veg idea I know that some people take cuttings from plants in veg and then force the cuttings to flower so that they know the sex of the older vegging plants, but... i want more plants than i currently have so i would rather just keep my cuttings in veg (say one cutting from each plant so that my number of plants is doubled) without flowering them, and then when the original set of plants flower and have been sexed i can throw away the cuttings from any males. I was planning on labelling my original Rating: 5
