Good questions Interested in the answers. I figured that it would be better to just leave the leaves, unless they show signs of distress. I also want to ask how tall of a cutting should I take for a clone + leaf count. the more leaves the better?Hey again, a quick query MS.
At what stage do you take your cuttings and from where on the plant. Do you root the tops that you take off? When do you top them? Can you take cuttings from plants that have already started flowering with any success?
If you take cuttings after say the first week at 12/12, then 2 weeks of rooting plus 2 of veg means that you have plants waiting to go into the flowering room weeks before it will be ready? So do you just keep them going and take more cuttings from those cuttings, once they are big enough, and then wait until your flowering room is ready? Does that make any sense? lol
One other thing, did you prune off all the fan leaves from those babies, they dont have any left! At what stage do you do that? Does it not slow down the overall growth and therefore reduce yield? It doesnt seem to, but are you mainly doing it to allow good light penetration to the colas? I guess its a compromise.....
Would really appreciate some info here, need to get a calendar filled in!
Many thanks,
Prof.

A BIG thank you to everyone who followed this thread and participatedConrgratulations man, always a joyful relief when at last the fruits of you labour are spread out in front of you. And nice looking fruit it is too.
Many thanks for your answers, and apologies for the length of the query, I only realised how much I blabbered on when I looked back at it. You have answered all my questions.
I have decided on the dwc but with bubbles. At least initially, seems to give the first few weeks that extra boost of growth so it seems well worth it to me. DOing a diy job ala Rosemans bubbleponic tutorial (if you havent read it I would HIGHLY recommend it to anyone with even a vague interest in dwc.
You have been an inspiration my friend, your patience and diligence have been a blessing, and your attention to detail is admirable.
Looking forward to seeing what you get up to next. I will let you know how I get on.
