hi torrog, yes you can save a lot of time with clones, for sure if you have cloned from a pistillate plant then you will not get any boys mate, thats a big plus, i am not sure though that time is save to much in respects of growing and finishing, as i like to stick my seedlings under 12+12 at an early age, if you have a big grow, then clones is the only real path to take, as if you get it right they will all be very uniform and predictable, i think thats a big plus, when you kinda know what to expect,.... yes i did read that post, i feed my plants with worm casts, its expensive, but it dont get much more natraul than that, its also a top fert, the root zone grow with this as a medium will thrive beautifully. peace mate ...

hi seedking72, yeah i am at a disadvantage from the start mate, these clones will take a little longer, some wont even make it, but this will be a good learning point for anybody who wants to know if it can be done, they will still finish around the same time as they will be in the same room under the same lighting conditions, they wont have much choice as i will be indusing flower when i want it to show not when it wants to. in answer to your questions, as a rule of thumb, clones will carry all the genre of the parent plant male or female, basicly the strain will be the same, but many factors decide the yeald and quality, clones dont degrade over time, but what can happen is they kinda get inbread to heavily, its a bit like the humam race, if humans was to breed with there own familys, i.e.bro with his sis or mother and son, then there will be a chance soon enuff down the line of difformaties, its the same with most of the animal kingdom, thats why its a good thing to use the a mother once in a while for seed, then from that seed pick a good father , cross that father with your best cloned mother, it kinda strenghens the strain without chancing difformaties, you can also reverse that, grow the seed and pic a mum, the have a cloned staminate plant use the pollon from the male to pollonate the girl, the result is much the same as both male and female plants make up 50% each of the strains genre, ..... peace ....

hi hubble, yeah they are a small plant, but when you take into concideration that on average clones take around 10 days to grow enough roots to transplant there aint that much in it, this time i have to clone a heavily flowered mum. these are going to take anything up to a month to get themself sorted, thats about 8/9 days to revert back to veg, and about 20 or so days to grow the roots, by then hopefully the seeds will be about the same size as the clones, this wil be a tough grow though, but hey , i love a chalange, peace

i have tried to get this done this week end but the weather is crap, so i will do it just as soon as i can, ........ peace to you all .......... happy .............
the happy chappie Reviewed by the happy chappie on . clones versus seeds the big debate (by happy) hello guys well here we go again, seeds or clones what do you choose, this question has been subjected to much debate over the years, and maybe this thread will help anyone who would like to choose, personnally and realisticly i have to use both, but there are plenty of reasons why either are as good and as usefull as each other. i will attemp in this thread to take some clones for you. and start some seeds at the same time and match them side by side in the same room and show you the Rating: 5
