I plan to take 2-3 clones from my "mother" which I plan to flower in twoweeks. Will this be enough for the cutting to get some roots and be put into flower also?
Is this the correct method too?:
-cut 45angle
-root stim/hormones
-into peat cup of soil or peat puck??
- set in tray with some water
-covered with dome

the dome isnt necessary ime. what i do is cut dip it in cloning solution and then plant it in regular soil inside a solo party cups.... within a week or two youll see roots.... patience is very important in cloning, some clones root vey very fast while others take a little longer to root. you will find out how easy it is to clone. good luck and happy grow

Would it be worth my time and money to invest in all the materials? What are rapid rooters and where can I get them? twoweeks veg is me stretching it, I only want to go about 10 days as the "mother" thats going to be flowered looks like it's a nice size.

If your planning on flowering the clones with the mother why cut them off to begin with? You'd do better to leave them on her, or am I missing something?

A mother is a plant you never really take out of veg. I've had a mother in the same pot for over two years now that has donated clones to at least 5 grows. Your options are:

Take some clones and throw your donor plant immediately into flower. Your clones you can veg until you're ready to flower another batch and/or save 1 or 2 for a on-going mother plant.

Takes some clones, veg them out a bit and then flower them. Mother stays in veg.

I wouldn't recommend taking clones and then trying to flower with the mother at the same time.

Thanks for the advice! I'll just stick with these two girls (this one and what looks like a bad pheno?). I'll just stick with fem seeds until I have some more experience. Hopefully I can make my own seeds eventually!
