thanks for the info ... I suspected I should treat the clones similar to a plant from seed, but wasn't sure ... this pic is of Day 3, it's now Day 5, I think ... only slightly taller now, but very healthy in all respects ... I will have to leave them on 24 hrs for a couple more days, until I buy another timer to put them into either 20/4 or 18/6 ... my current timer is tied up in my other cabinet on a 12/12 right now ... (sure is weird to see female bud hairs on a 2" tall plant !) ... thanks again for the help, folks ... :thumbsup:
