I have a bunch of clones that are rooted pretty good. I was wondering if I could determine sex by putting 1 in my flower chamber now. The parent was killed in an accident,so It never made it to flower chamber to determine sex. My theory is this, if I determine sex of this clone and its female then I will continue to veg and jog its sisters. This is backwards from the way I did it last time. I determined sex first, then cloned it. But this should work alright, I think.I've got about 7 weeks til harvest so I'll be able to veg for a total of about 8 weeks since these clones are already roted.
You can flower a clone as soon as it's rooted. Flowering a clone to determine sex is the preferred method rather than sexing the parent before taking clones, which slows things down for a month. Here's a suggestion: you mentioned that you have multiple clones from the same parent, right? Flower a clone, and if it's a girl leave it in the chamber to finish. Meanwhile you can be vegging her sisters until they reached the desired height (save one of these for the mom of course). The sex-indicator one will finish first and give you a nice preview of what is to come.
Cool guys. I really appreciate the advice. Its nice to know Ive got peeps like you lookin out for my best interest. You two have really been responsible for the success Ive had so far. YOU GUYS ROCK!!! This JOGed clone I have from my first crop is awesome. Ill get some pics for ya all to see. Your advice works. Thanks
Yea, go home with yer negative comments! And I agree on the to you two, as they have given me much helpful insight as well. starman: bite me! Not all of us can claim we "think" we know everything about growing. Later guys.
rangerdanger: you said you can flower a clone after it is rooted. How much yeld could you expect to get from a clone in flower that didn't have a chance to grow in a veg room? Not being sarcastic (Did I get the spelling right? LOL!) But that would be a fast way to get some bud even if it were alittle.... P.S Starman: what's up? Everyone is saying you must be a law-enforcemt memeber?
You're asking about rooted clone to flower with no veg? It depends on a lot of things, mostly strain. I had a friend who used to do that and he would get 1.25 oz. off each 'plantlet' that would grow from a 5" clone to 18" at finish. I'd ask him what kind of strain and he'd tell me it was a secret. He grew 80 plants at a time, sog, in an 8' x 8' enclosure and would end up with 100 oz. every 2 months. Star man gives such bad advice that I figure he's a cop and wants people to fail. He claims to grow 2 7' tall plants per soda pop bottle at the north pole, using seaweed he gathers himself as fertilizer.
