#1 - Best indoor seeds that are easy to grow (I'm inexperienced) and the site I can buy them

#2 - lights, I thinks it's 6500k for veg, 2700k for flower, I have no idea on watts or type, HID, CFL?

#3 - Mother plant, I would prefer to use a mother plant for future grows rather then seeds, I have no idea how to make a mother plant or replant the clone or anything

Any help is appreciated :)

#1 In my experience a good indica is pretty easy to grow, attitude seed bank is pretty nice, so is nirvana. I have a few of nirvanas strains going now check them out in my sig.

#2 Sounds good on the lights, all about how much you want to grow.

#3 There are lots of guides on how to clone, just do a google search.

1. youll probally want an indica strain, at least for this time, sativas take much longer to finish and are alot taller and stretched out usually.
2. a 400w hps would be good, get a bulb that has added blue spectrum. a mixed light spectrum is the best way to go, cannabis has 2 chloroplast types, one that deals with the red side of the spectrum and 1 that deals with the blue, using only 1 spectrum hurts your plants ability to make as much energy as it possibley can.
3. you can do clones of clones and not keep a mother, its simple, take your first plants and veg them about 4-5 weeks, at about 4 weeks take 2-4 clones off each plant, carefully make which clones are from which plant so you can kill any clones from male or hermie plants, now take your first generation and put them into the flowering area, by the time generation 1 is done generation 2 will be more than ready to have 2-4 clones cut from it and put into flowering, when generation 2 gets done you then take generation 3 and take off 2-4 clones and put generation 3 into flower, when they are done generation 3 will be ready to have 2-4 clones cut and flowering to begin.

heres how i clone, its extremely simple. imo people make it alot harder than it is. I did not write this guide and take no credit for it, just to make things clear, lol.

Cloning is very easy to do, alot of differant techniques are out there, bubblers, powders, soil to many really to mention. However this method is by far the easiest out there. The only thing you need is water, a little bit of light, and the little piece of plant you want to root. The example shown below is of 3 cuttings that I have already taken and would like to root them. The first one with the two leaves and one single growing tip, we will call this (R). THe next one has four nodes on it, as well as a couple larger leaves, we will call this (O). The third piece is taller and has 7 nodes and a couple more well sized leaves on it, we will call this one (L). S=R O=M L=L

Along with the regular way of cloning, after you cut you will right away dip the clone in water for about 25 seconds, make sure you tweak it to get rid of any air bubbles that could be around. Now here comes the fun part, normally you would remove it dip it in powder and stick it in a rocwool cube. This time you will be leaving it in water untill the cutting has roots and is strong enough to support itself. Make sure the cup is not clear and cannot see light through it, this way the roots wont be damaged.

Now we have finished the hard part, the most critical part is the light that these will receive, again many differant oppinions here but this is what works for me and it works 100/100 so why would i change
take the cuttings and sit them on a window sill that is not in direct sunlight. You probbly want to make sure its slightly shady. Just make sure they get 12 on 12 off or approx. The important thing is no direct sunlight or artificial light on them.

The pix below show the 3 clones in the cups, O and L have about 1" of water in it, if I were to add any more water it would be covering one of the stems. The smallest one out of the three I put in the plastic because the stem was to short to stay in water and still be standing up in the cup. You must do what you have to do to keep at least half of the stem submerged in water.

See how the glasses will make sure only a little bit of light will see the roots.











And there you go one of the easiest cloning methods around.

i keep clonning pretty simple cut the clone,put it in a cup of water for a few min.then shave the stem lightly just the outside layer of skin..sometimes if the plant is known to be hard to clone i split the stem..this and shaving gives it a larger and easier surface to root from..i don't use clonning gel or powder..then slice the bottom at a 45deg angle and put it in soil..pack the soil tight around it,to have a good contact..i usually get 100% on them..once in a great while one won't make it..
