Knock off the flaming people.

To hempygirl: Instead of wasting time flaming Illusion, if you have better advice than what he gave (perfectly reasonable advice by the way), why don't you add it to the thread instead of just bickering?

To the OP... Google 'cloning for sex'. No, the clones do not have to be fully rooted before you can sex them, but you have to know how to clone, because they MUST survive for 2 weeks of 12/12, and don't expect to get any significant yield out of the clones you toss under 12/12 before they have fully rooted. They may or may not survive, but if the plant is sexually mature, the point is to at least get them to pop preflowers before they croak.

But since you seem to be more interested in participating in flame wars than heeding the advice you are offered... this thread is OVER.
