Can I change the light cycle from 12/12 back to 18/6 when the plant is getting close to harvest (about a week or 2), or will it screw things up? reason why i ask is to try and start the next plants asap.

![]() | what does everyone think: My system set up has 6 pots. only 1 of them turned out to be female. I just completed the 2nd week of the flowering stage, so I still have something like 6 more or so to go. Would it be worth it to cut my losses, and clone the one female i have right now into 6 plants? let me know what yall think.

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Hey Mcguyver! Well it all depends. That one plant is only going to yeild 1/6 of what you could yeild. If I was you, 2 weeks into flowering? Cut 10 clones and get em goin take the best 6 and have em ready for flower. You can even just veg em under some CF lights untial u wanna cut down the ladie in the table and put the new 1s in. Investing 50$ in floros will have you a harvest evey 2 months. Veg plants for a month waile flowering some. I do it every nmonth. WeedMan

![]() ![]() | there's a member here by the name of Daltron who gives directions for a pretty easy wick-dip perlite based mass cloner in one of his posts. Search for cheap mass cloner or something similiar and you should pull it up. Also the propagation forum here contains a LOT of information on all sorts of different cloning methods. Simple and effectiveness seems to come down to the individual, some people are uber anal about sterilization and monitoring, while I've seen others do just as well by just sticking a cutting in plain ol' dirt and misting frequently. Strain plays a role as well, some strains are easy to clone, some are damn near impossible. Personally, I really like Daltron's cloner, it was quick and easy to set up and everything came from either wal-mart or lowe's. I've tried three other kinds of cloning and this works best for me (I've tried cloning straight to dirt with misting, peat moss with a transparent dome and small slits, to little cups of perlite under the dome). With me, it took me a while before I even hit a 70% success rate, and with Daltron's, I've got that percentage up in the high 80 percentile. | ||
