Hello again.

Thanks to Stinky et al for my water q's. Went with RO and Calmag, with great results. Went through a spurt of spiders, killed em with safer and no bug whatchmacallit hanger thing....weekly treatment with neem, five 1 month old babies doing great. Working on the 7th node, still symmetrical though, no preflowers yet.....

So my new question....

I have 5 tomato plants, getting big, and want to figure out sex and start flower. I have come up with this plan. Use the top as a clone, once it roots put the mother to flower. If it is good, then use the clone as the new mother, leaving the original mother as the flower, all big and mature, while the clone top continues to veg for eternity.
Doing this as opposed to snip a clone, root, flower to determine sex and you are still left with mom all vegged having to reclone, root and flower, leaving you with 2-4 wasted weeks.....I know I can do 4 clones, flower one, and have 3 to flower if things are good....

Just seems like a good plan to use the big bushy mom as the flower maker and keep a clone to veg as the future mom, ya know what I mean????? And if they are boys, then I am out a clone and the mom.

Thanks for the advice in advance....:thumbsup:
