so i had planned to clone one of my females few weeks back ...i went and got rooting horomone and such, but as i continued to research info, the closer it got to flowering time..
I heard that cloning can possibly turn her male or stunt it,etc.

This is the main thing that stuck in my head,as i wasnt sure if i was ready to risk a mother for 4 babies that MAY or MAY NOT make it (but i guess any real mother should be willing to die for her children,right)
Anywayz, are any of these facts proven true to anyones expeience?

Im still interested in cloning though,but because i only have one grow area (Grow Tent) running 400hps ,im kind of weary about were to store them for rooting since im limited space.and since i just started Flowering 3 days ago,that just brings on more questons.
I do have some 65w flourescents,as well,and i am using Rockwool.

My Questions are..

-will the cloning make her male?

-exactly how much light they need? (i.e. flourescent, or Window Light,etc?)

-I using DWC in a Grow Tent, so can I put them directly in res with other 2 mothers,fom NO roots to harvest?

-Will the shade from the 2 mothers supply enough shade for them to survive until they root since they are fairly large? Or is the HPS just too much?

-What are drawbacks (if any) of cloning @ early stage of flowering..

i say this because if i still choose to clone,i will have to use 12/12.
or i guess i can try to store them until the next run after the current harvest.

Any help or expeience is appreciated.
