LMAO Cloning For Dummies

Ok so I know there's to be no light in the rooms when they are sleeping but what light will flip em out ...like if I was to walk in there with the lil led flashlight on my phone? I've heard a green bulb won't affect em... I have the temp gauges mounted outside the rooms but on the babies I leave the doors open at night so if I was to walk in there to check on things they will see the light whatever I use

Light as bright as a very pale moon won't disturb them for short time periods, so no flash photography.
 
This from ledtester..............

Brief interruptions of low intensity light (phone) may not be sufficient to cause the florigen (more of this and the plant flowers)/antiflorigen (more of this it stops flowering) ratio to change enough to change the plants flowering in any visible way. It can however, cause a slowing of flower growth.

The best way to not affect this ratio of florigen/antiflorigen is to leave the flowering room completely dark for the entire darkness cycle. This makes it foolproof.

Any light of sufficient strength to be "seen" by the phytochrome receptors in the leaf will have an effect on the flowering.
 
People do make cloning out to be way to difficult/expensive... all I use are jiffy pellets and water that's it... I don't use rooting hormones and I've tied honey but didn't notice a difference so I stopped... takes 1-3 weeks to root depending on the clone and 8:10(roughly) root and it's usually the smaller ones that were a gamble in the first place that don't take .. here's one beauty I had cloned from a top.

not trying to hijack anything and apologies if it comes off that away just sharing success on budget methods... rapid rooters are great too.. I personally don't use a humidity dome... I'll most the first couple days after that I just water the jiffy pellets after they dry out.. just repeating until I see roots poke out then I put them into solo cups.. I keep them under a few CFL while cloning personally..
 
Your clothes look very good it's nice to see that you use minimal to keep them going but if you want to speed them up you can try a foliage spray that will normally help them why they root

If talking to me I'm in absolutely no hurry haha... honestly I don't have a proper veg setup atm so I try my best to stunt em and keep em as small as possible until I harvest my flowering plants... I have 7 clones crammed in a 3'x18"x4' lol until I can move 4 of em over to the flower room and scrog em out... then the other three I'm unsure about... I'll definitely use one to hack into clones and I may just veg the other two out and gift em.. who knows. I guess I figured they wouldn't benefit from a foliar feed since they still had plenty of juice in the leaves. but thanks for the tip . I'll definitely take it into consideration in the future... I know some people like cutting their leaves and half but I never noticed a difference doing that either.. the only time I cut em in half is if I have a lot of them and don't want the leaves touching.
 
I read on another well known magazine app that when the hairs start turning colors from ghost white that that's when they enter flower stage...any other info on that peeps

They enter the flowering stage once they quit stretching upwards and start growing white hairs on the tops creating budsites. Atleast that's when I consider mine in flowering.
 
As soon as you start seeing hairs and it is done stressing this is the start of flowering I don't know why they would write that on another site it sounds a little retarded
 
You may want to go and find it in a book an article from a university or a dispensary review these are more reliable places then getting right information for correct information

Yea idk but it's well know place to the bud community so I wouldn't think they'd just say random things but who knows

CNN is a well known place to millions of people and it doesn't stop them . or any corrupt news source really haha. Definitely makes no sense though lol... I'd say use common sense in this matter... when the plant is no longer growing branches and is instead growing buds where the branches would of grown from it's obviously in flower and not veg as it's no longer growing vegetation.
 
So I see a lot of peeps trimming off a lot of leaves thru flower to where it seems to leave nothing but stems almost...what's the purpose of this and if it's good to do when should it be done

Late harvest im a sucker for defoliation... they aren't really needed that much imo so late on and it opens up the canopy to hit any popcorn better... but the #1 reason I do it is because it makes harvest 100x easier when you have no fan leaves starting out.

However even before late harvest I'll pluck higher up fan leaves that are shadowing entire buds... some I'll tuck but I'm usually working with a ton of leaves anyhow so it doesn't much matter...
 
Last 7-10 days or so of harvest I'll start plucking a couple dozen off each day... sometimes more sometimes less just depending but by the last day I want atleast 80% of my fan leaves off. Makes it all go by a lot smoother and I don't really notice any downside to defoliating late flower personally... I like trying things out for myself too though ive found most of what people say you can't do is just bullshit frankly.
