Hi All,
I'm a newbie using a bubbleponics system. I have 1feminized Nirvana Northern Lights growing in veg. Day 0 was Aug 12th, so it's been about 6 weeks since she was started germination. Everything looks to be going great and I've avoided any root or pH issues this grow. I fimmed her at her 5th node and she hasn't skipped a beat.
She is REALLY, REALLY bushy, to the point that I have to move the leaves to be able to see the center stalk. She is about 8 inches tall and about 12-16 inches in diameter. I was expecting her to be short, by not this short. I also didn't think she'd be this dense with leaves. So far, all the leaves look great and don't appear to be complaining about lack of light, although it's surprising given how thick her leaves have gotten. I was planning a scrog if she started banching out too much.
My questions:
When should I start flowering? I had read that it's normal to keep in veg for 8 weeks, but the pictures I've seen people post, their plants are tiny compared to mine. I'm sure the strain has a lot to do with it, but it still looks like they may have started veg after 3-4 weeks.
I was thinking about making some clones from her. Should I do this before or after begining flowering? Should I wait until she's declared her sex officially? If I wait, and she's a girl, would that guarantee that all clones made from here would also be girls?
Thanks in advance!
