I'm trying an experiment with a CloneSeedling Box that can also be used for for other purposes. One is I would like to be able to know the sex of a grow much earlier with photos than waiting 60-90 days when flipped. So I created a Clone/Seedling box which I have a thread on. Since we are moving on past, I thought a Journal with regards to Clone Early Sexing could be interesting. Please understand this is completely experimental, so all contributions will be considered.
I was able to successfully clone to very nice roots using the Clonex System of products including Root Riot.
The next process is to move them into a Hempy Cup and as soon as it looks like a good transfer/re-potting then flip to 12/12 lighting.
So far this has been very easy process. Supposedly from the videos I've seen say that I can actually start the flip after I see roots. I don't know, those Root Riot Sponges have been getting stone hard between daily feelings. So I decide I wanted to experiment with another idea I'm been toying with, the Hempy Bucket. So I made Hempy Cups for Early Clone Sexing. As much as anything else, a purely educational experience to say the least.
Currently I'm using a 3/1 perlite/vermiculite mix with course perlite on the bottom to the upper level of the drain hole. Currently switched over to feeding with Dyan Gro Protek and Bloom at half strength. If it appears it needs more, can always add more to the next feeding. The idea is to push into at least some indication of what the donor plants sex is, as soon as possible. Not looking for any yield. the end goal is to create an easy quick way to determine a plants sex long before it shows any signs. If growing multiple plants in the same tent then even better to eliminate the males early and create more room for females. The other purpose of this experiment is test the idea of Hempy Cup Clone/Seedling to young veg plant in the tote while allowing time for previous grow to flower and be harvested. Finally I just want to explore the idea of transplanting Hempy grow to larger Hempy Pots, again getting a new crop started as the last crop is flowering to harvest point.
So I'll keep this up to date as best can. Planning on the flip tomorrow evening at lights out time. Keep you posted.

So I think you can claim the name as your invention. Good On Ya!!! 
I look forward to watching the building and seeing in action. I won't consider this cloning a success unless I can actually see some sex bits in the near future. Later on I would like to do some cloning off future well performing grows. Baby Steps I think they say. That's where I'm at.
