Kushtie, first off, I have owned 2 different propagators and both of them were taking 15-21 days to propagate and the ones that are in there own little Green Houses, (the produce bags), will root in some cases, in 3 days, a lot in 5 days, and most at 7 days. When I was in full swing, I could get 5 crops a year, 4 inside and 1 out side. But getting to old to deal with that many plants any more. The dispensaries here in Calif. have driven the price so low, its not worth my time or effort to mess around with that number of plants. As far as lenth of VEG time, indoors its all about keeping them under 7 feet tall, so I start the indoor ones when there between 3 and 4 feet tall and the outdoor stuff doesn't matter. The only thing is if your seedling are more then 2 months old and your other plants are propagated, and you put them outdoors before May 1, the light is not right yet, so they have a tendency to start to Flower and then go back into Veg and you can lose 4 weeks of growth while the plant is figuring out what to do. Some strains don't clone as easy, but it seems that this method works on all the different Kush strains. Any high bread strains, with any Kush genetics in them, tend to propagate faster then the other strains that I have worked with. Back in the day, I used to plant 5 seeds in each container, wait until there was one plant doing better than the rest, then I would cut the other 4 plants off at the base and Hope for the best. We've come a long way baby. Well I hope that helps you, and if not, ask a way. TTYL
