[Just A Beginner]

Hi, i've got 10 x skunk #1 growing. they are 28 days old, how soon do you think i could throw them into 12/12? They are really bushy, bout 6 inches, lotsa side shoots, nodes very close together. also could i takes clones off them now or would that stunt the growth n flowering?
If this has been asked before i'm sorry but i can't find the answers i need

You definitely want to take clones from them before they flower. If done right it wont stress them and actually should make them more vigorous.. How many nodes are they at? Can you tell sex yet? How big do you want your plants to be when they finish/How much room do you have to grow them?

i flower at 40 days... you need to take your cuttings now...

hi thanx for the replies, they are on their 9th/10th node, pic attached, the area of the room we'll be using for room foor flowering is 11 x 6 feet, but we have 3 other plants(lowryder) plus other seeds growing at the now, 10 more lowryders and 10 skunk haze, we would be happy at 3- 4 foot plants, maybe a bit taller. i can't tell sex at all yet, one out of the 10 has different shaped leaves, not many side shoots. no where near as bushy, i'm guessing it to be male, but i basically don't know how to sex plants until i see balls or pistils like i did on my lowryders, just goin off info i've read, so i could well be calling on some help again!

wow, such a quick reply, thankyou!!
I've got clonex and rockwool already in so i'll get a little propogator tomorrow and get then under my little light i grow my seedlings under as i think 600w hps will be too strong, even say 4/5 feet away, sorry for all the questions!! Do they look ok for 28 days old ?
