when to switch to 12/12 for clones

Ive been doing ALOT of reading and I have a question? After I take clones, how long before I can flower them?

No one has an answer?

I believe it has to do with how tall you want them to be come harvest time, since I believe they will pretty much double in height during flowering. I got some clones a week ago and still have a few days, I'm waiting till they get a foot tall because I want them to end at two feet.

dude u can flower at ne time who only vegged 4 like two weeks

I thought a clone needed some time in Veg to get its roots established.

yea thats why he only got like 3 grams per clone id say like 1-2 months would suffice

cool, thank you.

i dont veg at all and get the same amount quiker. Thats why people do SOG they dont want to wait two weeks. People who veg for two weeks get a crop less a year than an sog farmer. If you were to veg a month. you end up with plants that are to tall and you need alot of light to get to the bottom. Now the down fall is you get charge per plants. But the good part you get paid quiker and when the bills come on to the table, time is money.

well i actually grow ta smoke but i used to sell to but now i dont need to and i wanted to get a larger yield but yea that does cost money
tunaboat what are you vegging with

Your right, clones do need some time to root, but you can flower them after they've had just a day or two in their final pot to recover from the transplant shock. What it all comes down to is how much space you have, how many plants your growing, and how much light you have available for them. I personally like to veg my plants from anywhere between 1-2 months, and end up with big bushy plants that take up quite a bit of space. As Smiley noted, this method has it's drawbacks compared to a SOG grow like he does. I don't get to harvest as often (well, actually i do since I'm on a perpetual grow, but thats a different story), I can't fit nearly as many plants under each light, and it requires quite a bit of floor space (approx 16 sq ft for the 6 Ive got flowering currently). The payoff is that i get to harvest anywhere from 2-4 times as much as he does per plant.

When you get right down to it your overall results from growing a few big plants versus a lot of little plants aren't going to be all that different. What you have to decide is which is going to fit your grow area better, as well as your legal requirements. Remember, the more plants you get nailed with the longer the jail sentence if you get busted, and if your like me and live someplace where MMJ is legal you still have to worry about keeping under the plant count limits.
