Sup RIU Dr. Dave here. Just moved to Nor. Cal. from Omaha, Neb. in Dec. I'm legal and this is my 1st grow. I have 6 clones about 5-6 weeks old from a dispensary. Cindy99, DeadHead OG, Querkle, Purple Dragon, Guido, and God's Gift (Pics in that order, last is group pic). Gimme some feedback, any info on strains, whether I should prune or top or LST, suggestions, advice, any thing. Thanks.

well if your outdoors you want to find out when your solstice is and make sure your clones will be taken with enough time to properly root and grow a bit as well to a nice size....if you have 8 ft in the greenhouse then your plants can be about 5-6 ft imo but depends on strain some will grow about 1/3 more of the total height in flower...you can always start doing some minor lst to take a bit of height off if it became a problem...fim stands for fuck i missed and is like topping but instead you just cut with a razor down into the new growth to kinda split it, you can wind up with four or so main colas ive seen someone get i think 6...the thing is your already past that point imo just let em do their thing now had you topped or fimmed you would have wanted to do that when it was a little guy

sounds good to me!...might need some nutes though eventually, unless your using killer soil...when your rooting the clones make sure to keep the humidity high and weaker light than normal the rest just happens!! keep em moist

Good job broham. Dont worry too much about topping and training. You're in Northern California now! You have the sun on your side. Dig huge holes or use big pots/bags when you transplant them and they'll yield great. If you have two of the same strain you can experiment with your 20 gallons this year. Do one FIM, top, etc, and leave the other alone. Don't be surprised if they yield the same.
