A few questions about Plants

Happy Thurweed day Cajun
heres another cloning thing
while the plant is active in vegetative growth stage, feed it with a good quality, all- purpose
or high nitrogen fertilizer. one week before taking cuttings feed the mother plant with a low nitrogen,
high phosphorus flowering fertilizer. lower nitrogen promotes rooting in clones, so about 1 week before you take your cuttings lower it. reduce the amount/ratio of nitrogen in the mothers nutrient solution 3 days prior to cloning(flush soil mothers with water).
nitrogen inhibits root growth; reduced n levels in the mother help the clones root faster.

the flowering fertilizer will lower the amount of stored nitrogen in the plant and increase the amount of stored
carbs necessary for the production of roots. spraying the foliage with water daily will help accelerate this process.

the stuff above comes from a book
except the thurweed day thing lol

I usually take my cutting off plants I want to take clones off from plants that are 1-2 weeks into 12/12
on my mother plants I don't worry about it im not usually impatient on my clones so it don't matter to me if it takes longer than 10
days
