Cloning is nothing more that taking cuttings, and it's super easy with mj. Really fun, I think, but I'm a geek.

Light timing, simple too. Run bluish lights 16 hours a day or more (even 24 hrs--no timer needed!) until you're ready to make them flower. Then, 12 hours on / 12 hours total darkness. (Switching to "redder" lights helps.) The plant thinks winter's coming, and boom--flowers appear in a week or two.

Starting a small grow is super simple. After you've been at it awhile you may want to fancy things up, that's probably why things look complicated to ya. We start fine-tuning our systems and after awhile it looks complicated at first glance. But the underlying principles remain the same.

One good plant at a time in a bubble-bucket (called DWC) would probably yield an oz. a month, easy. Don't even need a "system." Plain ol' soil grows work fine, too. Read your ass off, then ask questions if something's not clear. Folks here will help you.

Have fun, Hermie :thumbsup:
