I want to root some clones and sex them right away so I know what the parents are before I put them in flower. Any recommendations on the best setup for this? I'm running an ebb and flow system with hydroton. My cloner is a turbo klone. Can I root them in the cloner and just flip the light on the cloner the following week after roots? Or should I take them out and put them in some small containers to flower them right away?

Doing the same thing.
Got something called a turbo jet cloner. Pretty sure it is like the rest, spraying water on the root zone.

Are you going to keep a mother?

I'm thinking of keeping a mother so as to do the same, blue fire, for another grow.
To this...I am going to take 4 clones, 1 from each unsexed plant, and hold on to that and just flower the main plants. Then when they show sex, dispose of the male and the clone taken.

You can flip the light on the cloner.

nah, no moms right now. Got way too many seeds LOL

So it sounds like I can just flip the cloner? Shoulder I add any light nutes? I usually just throw in some orcha the 2nd week to make the roots explode

How long does it take to show sex when flipping a new clone?

like do I wait a week for the clones to root and them flip to 12/12 the following week or do 12/12 as soon as the clone goes into the cloner?

Wait for roots. Then flip the light. Some plants show sex in Veg, so time will vary. Give it about a week after you get some kinda roots.
