    Clones

    So my mother plants are about 7 feet tall and flowering, doing well. I took some clones of them and their about 6 to 8 inches tall.

    How tall do clones grow compared to the mother plant? I'm guessing it depends upon when you take the cutting...?

    Since the mother plants are flowering my clones are in early flowering stages, will they finish up around the same time as the moms? And will the clones produce more bud as a clone, than they would have if I hadn't even taken them off the mother plant in the first place?

    Thanks

    Cannabis clones share the exact same dna as their mother plant, with that being said your clone can reach the same size as its mother.

    Cuttings should only be taken during the vegging stage, never during the flowering periods. The cutting will now devote all of its energy to growing new roots instead of growing buds, giving you a considerabley smaller clone yield in comparison to if you would have left it on the host plant.

    Cuttings need to veg for a few weeks in order to grow a solid root mass. By bringing a flowering clone back into a vegitative state, you risk the chance of stressing the clone into hermaphroditing where it could produce seeds and eventually invalidate your entire sinsemilla project.

    Well couldn't he keep the clone he took in 18/6 to put it back in veg as to create a new mother plant. I ask only because i took a clone thats sorta growing like a house plant, only making sure that i give it extra light to bring it back into veg. Then after my room is clear of flowering plants i would put it in 18/6 till its big enough to clone and then flower them? I hope so, cuz if ya look in my log, my fav NL plant is sick without a cure atm. So this clone id like to use as a mother for a nice little NL grow to harvest right before Christmas.

    That does not mean it won't work, it's been done at all phases of veg and flower. Yes, perhaps you'll have to give them more time and perhaps a bit lower success rate, but it will and does work all the time. :thumbsup:
