Clone Help?

IF a clone is uprooted from hydro, potted into some soil mix in a 4'' cube pot and then put in a dark box for 2-3 days when its taken out can it go into 18/6 lighting? Should it stay in the small pot? It has preflowers showing the two hairs of the female. Its about 7'' tall 5 nodes opening the leaves for the sixth witht he 7th node leaves visibly in between those. Also, when should training/FIM'ing begin? If it is repoted into a 1 gall bag will that be big enough for an indor grow? Or does it NEED a 5 gallonor somethign in between. Also, it coud be transplanrted almost laying down and then the tip tied when repotted as part of its lst correct?

I have a home made aerocloner. My lights are on 18/6. I guess at that point you could consider it hydro. My clones are usually 4-5 inches high when I move them to soil. I usually put them into solo cups til they get a good root ball going. Then I move them to 1 gallon pots. That's when I start LST. After 6 weeks I put them in 3 gallon pots. At 2months I stick them outside in the sunshine to flower.

Not sure what you plan to gain by the 3 days of darkness..

Well I attempted to FIM the plant today. Hopefully ill see the auxiliary buds flushing out by tomorrow night as a sign that it worked at least as a regular topping lol.

I found out it wasn't in darkness for three days. It was given some light. Also it is pretty hot in the tent is that ok? I would assume so because cannabis grows by the equator doesn't it? Also, how important is ventilation. Opening the tent once a day and shaking the door flaps to replace the inside air won't be enough? I opened two of the vent pots on it but I don't want to forget them open and let light leak in through them from other plants in the room. The tent also smells pretty nice from one small 7" sativa with no buds lol.
