Clone only strains

Bigger pot wouldn't have hurt either.
How do you get it to grow tight nodes?
The TK I've grown for over 10 years has stretchy nodes + 3-4 blade leaves(rarely 5)
Your TK has mostly 5blades, which is rare for me to get just a few leaves with 5 blades from the cut.

I super crop and top a lot. It uses the speed of veg in your favor then. Also I like to add silica as ph up and it really helps those leggy strains a lot. I also really juice my hot mix up too but she's has been easy as pie to grow for me, til later in flower, the she just eats like a pig. image.jpegThis is an accidental cross of my white fire og to the triangle. I didn't think much of it to begin but it's vastly superior to the tk and wifi. I've neglected her and left her in a dark corner and she ended up just shining Just goes to show bag seed accidents can be just as good of breeders as a breeder or better.

IMO a lot of times clone only strains are slightly overrated. The big advantage with clone only strains is you know exactly what you are getting. Just make sure to quarantine them. Most indoor pest problems come from taking in dirty clones(spider mites and/or thrips) and bad soil medium(fungus gnats, thrips, and/or root aphids). The thing is with clone only strains, if you know the genetics, you can get something very similar or even better by just growing out more seeds. It may take a lot of seeds but it is doable. Friend of mine got some clone only Gorilla Glue #4 from a dispensary and found a seed in it. Turned out virtually identical. I have a ton of Lemon Ripper seeds(SLH x JTR) and have grown several out. This particular one I hung onto because it looked a lot different from the others, had a different smell and a higher yield. It's my 'clone only' strain.

@gitarre10000 It really depends on the stability/durability of your strain(s). I've done it plenty of times in the past, no issue. However, just last year I changed their cycle (only from "on" am-pm, to pm-am). Confident in what I was doing, I neglected to consider my finicky "Mystery (who had not yet been subjected to such a change). All of the "Mystery's" in the room went bananas, seeded everything. This was mid-bloom (4.5 weeks in).

To confirm my suspicion that it was indeed the change in cycle mid-bloom (that initiated seeding), I looked into it. Found information that a well known/respected breeder would interrupt the light cycle mid-bloom (exactly as I had, by 48 hours) to identify and eliminate any that were herm-prone from breeding stock.

For reference, I imposed 48 hours of dark to "reset" their cycle.



If you are absolutely confident that your strain(s) has/have tough skin, then their shouldn't be an issue. That being said, you've asked the question, so this is definitely uncharted water for them (as far as you are concerned). Proceed with caution.

Hi ,
quick question.
my flower room runs lights on at night (8pm - 8am).
Can i switch it to be on from 8am - 8pm without screwing up the flowering plants?

either the plants will have to get 24hrs of light or 24hrs of dark to complete the change

I don't think you will have a problem, just make sure the dark cycle is 24 hrs. Think of an extremely gloomy rainy day in the woods where it would grow naturally...something that happens in nature regularly.

After looking this cut up naw I don't think it worth that price. Seems like it is attainable for much cheaper than that so I wouldn't pay that

I would LOL at anyone charging $1k for a cut of any strain. Especially for how easy it is to clone most strains. That is extremely greedy. I wouldn't even associate with someone that greedy. I never even hear of people even paying for clones anymore in the medical community. Maybe a few dollars at most for the pot, soil, and plant-sitting.
