Ok so i transplanted - the roots were almost rootbound (when i pulled it out they had just started to clump at the bottom) So into its new pot and i think it will make a good recovery from the transplant.
When can i clip some clones?

Provide it with enough water/nutes and you'll find that "rootbound" is really just a state of mind. You can grow some very impressive buds in party cups and trimmed down 20oz bottles.
For clones, clip the lowest/longest branch(es) when they are 3-ish inches long...right before you're going to throw the main plant into flower. After you've vegged the clone and are about to toss it into the flower chamber, take another clone the same way (from this clone plant)
Kept up, you can have a permanent harvest SOG without needing to keep a mom!

Interesting ideas! +rep.Provide it with enough water/nutes and you'll find that "rootbound" is really just a state of mind. You can grow some very impressive buds in party cups and trimmed down 20oz bottles.

I did 4hrs of darkness today - do i have to continue this cycle? or can i go back to 24/0?

damn....that is a good idea. i think ima do that. do u end up with less yield from doing that idea tho?
12 hours of dark is what gives the roots time to build up enough flowering hormone to hit critical level and start actually budding.
Any lesser amount of dark time can pretty safely be considered vegitative. Reguardless of how much dark time you decide to use, pick one and stick with it...plants don't enjoy their day/night cycles being screwed with any more than you do (anyone changing jobs from 1st shift to 3rd shift or vice versa knows what I'm talking about here)
As soon as light hits the plant to kick off photosynthesis, this hormone level quickly drops.

I assume your talking about 20/4 so are you sticking with it? i figured since i transplanted this would give it a boost in root growth.

Ok here is today's and yesterdays updates. I clipped a clone and last night and so far its still green and happy - how long on average does a clone take to root?
Which type of light should i invest in for a bigger crop out of the two HID's for the best yield?

looks like your grow is coming along nicely, this is my second CFL grow, dont be turned off from flowering with CFLS if you dont wanna have to run extra exhaust to keep the heat down which you will have to do if you get a HID, Metal Halide is best for veg-ing and High Pressure Sodium is best for flowering, if your gonna go that route, i am 5 weeks into veg with CFLS right now, check my baby out if u want, might give you a few pointers! anyways good luck!!!!

I just took a lower section - i most likely have done it wrong. Il take some more when i put it into flowering.
Im looking into HPS lamps - Im in canada so i found a site called illumaLights.com
They sell LED HPS MH and some other things - has anyone heard about this company? Would their Ballasts be of good quality? They operate out of Burnaby BC and BC is known for some good hydroponics stuff. Any help would be excellent!
I will post pictures of the plant tommorow.

ok so im thinking of picking up a digital HPS/MH Ballast from this company for 197$ for my next grow. I will get some pictures up tonight or tommorow because my plants in 12/12 and the growth so far has been quite fast!

Its still alive - im trying to see if it will root most likely not but oh well. I will do some proper clones in a week when the plant is bigger. Its into its second day of flowering. It was vegetated for 15 days.
