What I do like about growing sticks is there is no fluffy buds and next to no leaf to trim. Just have to learn to take taller clones from mother plant before 12/12.

Why did you not veg the clones for a month? You could have quadrupled your yield. Just seems like a waste to me to clone a mother, wait until you see roots, plant it and immediately go to 12/12. Just my opinion.

I hear you. I think vegging is a waste of time, plus would need another room to do that. Every 3 weeks I will be pulling out 8 of the above. Just need to take taller clones from the mother to get longer budded sticks.

Wait. You have your mother in a room that is 16/8, 18/6 or 24/0, right? And a separate room for 12/12? Can't your clones stay with Mom for a month?

I just want to cut tall clones, allow them to grow roots and then 12/12. Obtaining 8 sticks every 3 weeks is more than enough for my lungs. I have gone for White Skunk due to semi short flowering time. Have mothers from seed growing nicely, awaiting for decent size before I cut clones. The NZ strain pictured is the stuff around attempt - by the time the white skunk mothers are ready, I should have the tall rooted clones sussed by then.


a dry half 8th lol
The next sticks are 2 - 2.5 x bigger.............Getting better at cloning. (Oh, and no, I dont want a aerocloner.)

4.5 grams. most of the time divide wet weight by 3 and theres your answer. but weighing wet is pointless. let it hang in the dark and do its thing

I dry horizontally in the dark. No rush to smoke, have supplies.

Weighing wet had some point in this experiment.......wanted to see how much weight buds lose during the drying process.

Dude if our estimates are right you a getting less than an Oz every 3 weeks (24 grams). I am by no means a skilled grower but I get 10 - 16 oz (280 - 448 grams) every 3 months. That is almost an oz a week. So no, vegging is not a waste of time.

I hear you, but you did not hear me. I just need to learn to take taller clones taken from mother plants grown with no stretch, so the nodes are close together. This way, I might get dry weight of 1/2 per stick, x 8. What wattage light do you use? I use a 400w hps.

I could not smoke a ounce a week.

It is really hard to learn when you already know everything. Good luck on your grows.
