Hi HAL..
How much vegging do you do after your clones sprout legs?

love

[Shallow Hal]

none mate at all, as soon as they root i transplant them into 5 litre pots and put them under the 2 x 600 hps straight away. no vegging time at all , this keeps them easy to work with and at the tallest they are 2 to 2 and a half foot tall.
i hope this helps
Hal

So, when your clones show roots... you start to FLOWER (12/12) them immidieately ?

What is your cloning light schedule?

thanks
cheers

Yes, i'd like to know that too

yeah as soon as i see the roots coming outta the rockwool cloning blocks i transplant them into the 5 litre pots and put them under 11/13 as 12/12 takes to long for them to finish .
when the clones are in the propagator i keep them under 400 watts of strip floro's, ( thats 10X4 foot bulbs ) half are warm whites half are cool whites. the clones can take upto 14days to root . they are under 16/8 light cycle. as clones are the same age as the mothers there is no problem with flowering them straight off. Plants make roots at night or so i read sumwhere so the 11/13 doesn't harm the root growth infact i personally think it roots into the 5 litre pots quicker than if i vegged them under 18/6 for a week or more. so when clones have rooted i put them into 5 litre pot and straight into my flowering room under 11/13 light cycle.
when they are rooting in the prop they are under 16/8

This is some good info. With the pots, do you leave them in those all the way through? Do they end up pretty root bound when you harvest? I have some similar dimensions in my cab but with a 1K. Whir did you get your containers? Are they square? Do you do any pruning and if so, how much and at what point?
Do you use any veg nutes and if not, what do you do for nitrogen deficiencies throughout the grow? What nutes are you using? I have more questions, but I must refrain, just hope to get the answers to these though.
I do think I want to try those veg and flowering light cycles at some point, very innovative grow.

ok ok ok.
the pots can be got anywhere , they are 5 litre or 1 gallon pots. they are round but i am sure if u had square ones they would make better use of the space . i use general hydroponic flora/micro/grow feed mix into 2 different mixs ( 1 vegging feed 1 bloom feed ) my mothers always get the vegging mix . clones when put into my flowering room get vegging mix until the bud sites start to form , roughly 2 weeks into 11/13. i them give them a diluted bloom mix for 1 watering and the full strenght untill they are 6 weeks into flowering, at this stage i give them general hydropnics Ripen for 10 days then i flush the plants with 3 times the amount of water to the volume of the pot ( ie. 5 litre pot > 15 litres of water ) . when i have done this i turn the lights off for the final week and cut on the 7th day after flushing. using this method all the plants grow a nice main cola and each plant produces between 1 to 1 and a half ounces each . the only pruning i do is to remove the small branches from the bottom to make it easier water them . oh by the way i use coconut fibre and clay pebbles as my grow medium . mix to a 50/50 mix.
and breath.................
I hope this helps
Hal
I will post pics of clones that are in flowering at the minute.

[Shallow Hal]

these are clones that are about 11 days into 11/13 all white widow , the pics of the buds are just the top 6/7 inches of the top colas when dried.

Thank you very much. have more questions, but will try to figure some of the answers out by using some good old grey matter first.
