Growing a Mother

[Jkrustie]

Heya it's been several years since I have returned to cannabis.com, and I am still in disrepair from OG's shutdown.

That said, I have 4 seedlings growing slower then I'd like.
The purpose of them is to get a female to create a mother, and to aquire 100 clones.

I'm nervous because it is June, and I need these 100 clones by July or my outdoor season will be over. Things went poorly for 1 reason or another, these seedlings are 4 weeks old! Too much light caused slow growth imo.

I remember seeing countless methods for creating clones at maximum speed. Possibly topping mothers to promote more shoots?

I'm looking for whatever method would allow me to get 100 clones out of say 2 females seedlings. I estimate it could be 2 weeks before I can take any clones from these seedlings. I was thinking taking as many clones as possible as soon as possible, then growing them out fast and cloning them.
If I can root, veg, and clone each within a 2 week period I could have them by the second week of July?

I'm basing this on the fact that light gets shorter around mid August, so I'd have aprox. 1 month outdoor veg before flowering starts.

Should I shop for clones elsewhere or might I be able to grow a miracle??

Thanks.

You have your work cut out for you. and it may be impossible to clone and root 100 babies in such a short time...

that being said.... your best bet is to plant your seeds into big 5 gallon containers with the best organic soil yuo can find.... you should have plenty of light... 5-10 (150 watt) cfls would be great....

It will take about 6 weeks from seed to get a (single) mother that you can get 30-50 clones from... and then another 2 weeks to get 30-50 more clones from the same mother...

This will require perfect growing method and conditions.....

keep us posted...

yeah to have it get large enough for 100 clones is a little far fetched in this short amount of time. You shuld have started a few months ago like February i think. can you get your hands on some bought clones?

I'm working on getting some clones yes.
I ordered Diablo from Next generation seeds specifically for my climate tho

These are under a 70 watt HPS. Looks like i'll either have to buy some or hope I can get 4 females outa these 4 seedlings.
BTW 2 are in soil, 2 are in a rockwool hydro setup.

It's entirely possible all 4 are male :P

Here's some pics.
The 2 hydro
The 2 soil

You can clearly see bleached spots on the soil ones from too much light(im an idiot)
Also note the hydro seedlings didnt get fed until they suffered from being starved of food.(twice an idiot)(first time hydro)

The last pic shows this seedlings mutation. Kind of strange, Ive never seen this before. If it grows normal here on out ill keep it if not genetics would be weak to clone.
