Don't wanna argue, but since you just upcanned, I would veg for 2 more weeks to let the roots find the new soil before you flip em. Once flipped root production slows and will affect your overall yields.

Zenogears · Feb 25, 2015

Thank you so much everyone! Just a couple more questions, do you think I should be fine cloning in soil or better if I get some rock wool cubes, and when I ph my water before I saturate the cubes or medium, what should the runoff be at? Some places say 6.5, some places say 5.5. Not sure what I should do with the ph.

you don't think those plants will fill those pots during the stretch or you prefer full pots going into flower?..... I don't mean to argue tho its a real question....

I hear patience is the best virtue when growing cannabis, so I think i'll take your advice and wait one or two weeks before I "flip"

Thanks hun!

Touché my friend touché did not read @Zenogears had transplanted. Definately agree with you on that one.

Zenogears · Feb 25, 2015

Well I had them in 1gal bags and put them in 3 gal bags, and when I transplanted none of them seemed to be too rootbound at all. Just transplanted yesterday.

They do make roots in flower just not as many and the more roots the more yield. The stretch is more about dominance in a crowd than anything else to be pollinated. Most think it is about getting light, tis more about getting laid LOL Mine hardly stretch at all because I have lots of blue light and I use the gas light veg routine so they build up flower hormones during veg.

But a very good rule to follow is to wait 2 weeks after an upcan in order to get the benefit of the upcan :bigjoint:

Zenogears · Feb 25, 2015

This is the best video i've found on the subject, he said that I should ph my water at 5.5 for clones, but I think i'm going to go to the store and get those cubes and try doing it this way. Seems pretty legit.

^^^^ Can we like, report that guy or something?

that makes my head hurt ......... I grow organic tho so I like having that soil during the stretch

Do you think it wise for me to use my MH 1000 watt for a couple weeks after I switch to 12'12' in order to minimize stretching, then switch over to HPS? Or does it just not work that way?

Oh I checked out your FLORO grow, simply SEXY!!!! :oops:

Yeppers that is wise, you can also use the MH in the last 2 weeks to increase frost but if you get the ATI flouro's you won't need to

Why would switching to MH the last 2 weeks of flowering increase trichome production? Seriously curious!

The Blue spectrum grows trics, Tis why I use the Coral's and you saw my frost :hump:

The Actinics are for UVB, which increases potency :bigjoint:

Its all really up to you if you do soil you dont want to spray the dome to much and cause mold you just gotta make sure it stays warm in the dome since you dont have to have spray much or not spray at all i usually use a home made clone bubbler because i cant clone in rockwool for some reason

HAHAHA! I see what you did there!!!

I am definitely going to try that out then, I'll be posting regularly, and I got this really cool X60 microscope that clips onto my phone to take pics of the trichs when the time comes!! Me loves it!!! lol!

Maybe I'll leave the tops/nodes in the mini solo's with the soil and see how they do, then take my cuttings from my girls and try the rock wool cubes and see which ones do better.

Thats the fun part find out what works best for you! :bigjoint:

everytime i clone i usually put a little bit of my cloning solution in my water bubbler but not to much maybe thall help you out also when you plug your clones into cubes, i could never do rockwool because i wouldnt be around to check if the cubes dried so id toast there roots all the time but a friend of mine said that hed slice a corkskrew or sonething else in to width of a coin naybe a little thicker to out under his dome so when roots do poke out they wont burn and stunt the clone

megan ,
you really should try the 12/1 gas lantern method as mentioned by RM3 ,maybe on the ones you got going now ,check out his thread on it ,im running it right now and my babies or should i say my bushes really like it ,less stress on them and less electricity on me ,get with him he will hook you up
