Im no expert with cloning but I was always told to pull my clones atleast 30min after watering and no longer than 2hrs after watering. This has always worked for me and all I ever do is put my cuttings directly in water in a humidity dome. Takes 10-20days to show root but it does work. There are of course much faster methods but like I said, Im no pro at this and don't want to offer advice about something I haven't done.:smokin:

As for vegging your Indica...Veg on as long as you would like...Of course there will be some transplanting involved but thats nothing if you really want a big plant. I currently have a 6-footer in a 3-gallon bucket and it really is a monster producer:thumbsup:

Okay thanks mate, helpful info. But what I meant to ask is when... being is there a specific time to take cuttings? like a week into veg or right before harvesting(is there a specific time? or best time?)
And my other question about veg..

Thanks tho

I usually take cuttings around the 3rd week of veg but I never take any within 2 weeks of flower.

I thought I answered your veg question in my last reply. Let me know if I did not.:smokin:

It can be any time from large enough to clone to end of veg....you can even take them in flower but it takes them a long time to come around.

I like it best when the bottom branch is 3" long or so, but it varies by species.

Okay thanks both of you
Yes, Jon you did answer my question in your first post :stoned: i didn't see it? LOL :jointsmile:

Thanks though... just to make sure I understand everything:

I can veg for as long as I want? (is there something like veg at least 3 weeks right? or is there a such think as the more you veg the better yield/quality? or you veg. to much?)

Otherwise just veg until i want to flower/transplant?

Clones:
pull my clones atleast 30min after watering and no longer than 2hrs after watering. Cuttings around 3rd week of veg but NOT in the first two weeks of flowering?

Oh and does taking cuttings harm or stress your 'mother plant' that you are taking the cuttings from?

Ps. I think I am at day 24 of veg. My soil is dry right now so I am arguing with the idea of transplanting now or watering and transplanting once that watering drys out. Any advice on that?

(The longer you veg the bigger the yeild for sure. Just make sure you have the room for the growth. I always go a minimum of 4 weeks in veg and then flower any time after that but I like begger plants so I veg for about 6 weeks and sometimes longer like the grow im doing now, they vegged for 7 weeks.)

(Almost got it...I never pull any clones within two weeks of starting flower...I usually will pull all I will need for the next 2 weeks to avoid too much stress.)

(Take cuttings in groups, instead of one every day or other day, it is easier on the plant and wait atleast 2 weeks between cuttings...This is what I see works very well for a friend.)

How tall is the plant and what size container is it in now? Has it been in that same container the whole time? Transplanting is easiest when dry like you were talking about too.:thumbsup:

My plant is soil is dryyy dryy now.. But it won't come out in one piece(like a big block):wtf:
It is indcian dominate plant from seed. Right now in a green plastic cup (with holes in the bottom for drainage) Miracle Grow Soil +a little extra perlite.
It is about 3 or 3&1/2 inches tall right now. (I think it has been about 4 weeks from since it sprouted) It has been in the same plastic cup since I put the seed in there (after it germinated)
