Is 5 weeks enough time for cloning?

Hello all, I will be ready to clone in about 2 more weeks or so which will allow about 5 weeks or so from cloning until time to plant into the garden, will this be enough time for the clones to take roots and grow big enough to plant out? Thanks.

Yup, max 2-3 and on roots. Do you have a cloning method? If not I suggest 1" rockwool cubes with a good rooting hormone. It's a little slower than a bucket cloner or aero. But it's a reliable method just don't let the cube dry out, use tap water.

Plenty of time. Most of the time clones take 7-14 days to be well rooted for transplant. Then the next 3 weeks would give them plenty of time to root into their pots and start vegging.

I run a perpetual SOG, and typically every 3ish weeks I cut clones and 3ish weeks later they go into flower.

I'm using "ish" a lot because I run multiple strains and they each respond a little different.

No I don't have a method yet, This is my first time cloning. Thanks

Getting roots is strain dependent. My Goji OG and it's crosses can take 4 weeks plus to give me a fully rooted clone. Some strains are done in a week.

I allow the sticks 10 days to grow roots

or we restart

the rest of the time you will be in veg with the 3.5 weeks left

good luck
