Under a 600w lamp, run them about 3-4 weeks in veg then flower That strain takes a while, about 12-14 weeks to finish.

You'll be fine with a few days of lag on the other clones, no biggie. If they are indica dominant, then you'll harvest those before the WW.
Thanks again for the quick reply....

That is pretty much what I do. The light goes on at 6pm, right after peak hours during the summer. I sleep all night with the light on then wake up and turn it off at 12 noon. I am not too worried about energy costs. Money is fortunatley not an issue for me.

3-4 weeks it is, because I want optimal growth. I read in the Cannabis Grow Bible that you can flower clones in as little as 1-2 weeks depending on the size of them. Is it also a viable method to send your plants into flowering when they reach a certain size? I only have about 3 vertical feet of grow room so I do not want them getting too big. I suspect this will take 2-4 weeks to reach the size I am looking for. Please let me know if I have been misinformed.

Ok thanks. I'll keep that in mind when picking my next clones. I'm thinking about getting some Headband, or maybe even a strain of purple.

I just got 6 White Widow clones today and put them in my new grow closet under a 600 watt Sun System. I am starting them on an 18/6 photoperiod with the 6 hours of darkness ranging from 12:00 Noon - 6:00 PM. Due to the fact that it is summer, 12 noon to about 6 pm are the hottest hours of the day. This concerns me and makes me wonder if I should keep the ventilation going 24/0 in my grow room. Is this the best way to do it? Running the lights 18/6 and the Rating: 5
