HOW LONG...do you veg your clones for?

I honestly don't know because it differs from batch to batch.
I prefer to go with bigger plants and I'm guessing I average 6 weeks not including the time spent rooting.

Here some girls sleeping, another full table ,new spot for mothers in small ebb x flo and something funky going on with Devils Crack leaves . That DC strain is rather fickle for SOG grow .Looks like I spilled something on her . Babies come fast once it starts going .

Three full tables and plenty for the forth , as Guerilla Gardener said its time to step away from the cloning gel. Have a 600 HPS over each 3x3 table and a 400 HPS in the middle , I might put a 400 MH bulb in at a later date. Pic 274 is Cannatonic mother , will be taking some big clones off her . Running POWER PLANT and DEVILS CRACK as well.

Funny you mention that , I do take a lot off as you can see in pics. After a little reading on the dreaded defoliate topic , was planning on leaving a bit more on ,at least on the top . Could you offer up some more details please HydroRed . Im open to ideas and have been known to pluck a fan leaf here and there .I try to keep all growth in the circumference of the pot .

YES -thats whats up. Thats exactly what I was referring to was keeping it the structure of just 1 central main cola or as you said best " in the circumference of the pot" itself. No crowding and plenty of light to grow that central cola. High plant count, large central colas on each one = weight.
And to do it for less with little to no veg times. :clap:

I use the gas lantern routine , if you look at post #95 pic 245 on the top of pic you can see a sunblaster tube , you can see it in other lamp pics as well . On left is 600 mh conversion bulb and on right is a 400 hps . I think this combo speeds up the veg times for one, and also when flipped to 12/12 they seem to show flowers sooner . That could be from the small dose of KoolBloom though . I've only done two grows in those bigger pots but I noticed a difference .Better yield . I use 750 ml of hydroton in the bottom of each one , in stead of 500 in the smaller pot . Half again as much but like is said "bigger root bigger fruit" and I'm a firm believer in that theory now . I only veg till I see some good roots coming out the bottom of pot then flip . So whenever that happens is up to each individual plant ,all I can do is help it along . Oh look , a little life giving pipe on dec 4th baby . Anyone ever see or use clone fast from dutch master . Nice person gave it to me . Smell very strong but similar to clone gels .
