Can you switch a plant from a 600 HPS to a fluorescent

[Humboldt14]

I have 5 22 day old soil plants that I am going to pick a mother out of. Right now I have all 5 plants in my Hydro room under a 600 HPS when I pick the 1 I am going to keep as a mother can I put her back under a fluorescent due to that fact that my hydro room will be 12/12?

Yes, of course you can. lol

thats some good gear. just jumped right into it did ya?

no prob. switching from 600w to fluorescent, although plants growth will not be as much.
same as when i take my mothers outside all day in the sun, then bring them back in under
the fluorescent after the sun sets.

thanks, i did not know if mybe when i moved it out from under the HPS to the fluorescent that it would stop growing so could not pull any clones off of.

yeah you should be able to switch them!

 

[Humboldt14]

sounds good to me then

 

[darkdestruction420]

growth will slow down, thats for sure.

growth will slow down, thats for sure.

how often would i be able get clones off it after it is switch?

i think it was in the new rosebud mag that i read somewhere between 4-8 weeks but i guess it also depends on how many clones u take...

 

[darkdestruction420]

how many? how big is the mother? i'd love to see some pics.

well if every 8 weeks thats fine because thats about often I want to harvest.

I need to get some batteries for my camera, I will tommarrow but as of right now I 5 mothers that are 25 days old from seed so they are not ready to pull clones yet anyways. I plan on only keeping the 2 strongest thoe. How old does a plant have to be before I can start pulling clones?

You could probally take around a few clones off each plant now, but I cant say for sure since I dont have a pic to judge for sure or not.

here are some pics of my future mothers, when do you think i can start cutting

 

[darkdestruction420]

it will be a while still, 2-3 weeks probally imo.

 

[Humboldt14]

thats what i figured, expect to walk me threw the process when it is time
I have never cloned or even done hydro before this time, i am outdoor dirt grower.

 

[darkdestruction420]

It's really really easy bro, You can take a cutting, put it in a cup of water, leave it be in indirect light, indirect sunlight is enough for during the day and indirect lighting from a normal bulb for a while at night, and within a few weeks it will start rooting for you. Well, thats not the best way to do it imo, but i just wanted to illustrate how simple it can be, I'll be happy to discuss more advanced cloning with you when the time comes.

 

[Humboldt14]

sounds good

 

[Humboldt14]

why do you think I have slight curling on the edges of these leaves on this mother?
