How Long Will It Take A Clone To Flower Vs. Seeds

[SmokedoutDe-bo]

I just cloned my first plant: what is the best way to root a clipping? water or root hormone? How long will it take a clone to flower vs. planting a seed?:confused:

1st of all if you read label on rootone or superthrive which is a rooting hormone it generally says 5 weeks to take root as with seed they sprout out within 4 days and appr. 1ft or higher in 5 weeks depending on the way you try to grow it hydro , outdoors , indoors ,ect. well just tryed to give you a quick answer since noone else has replied yet . you surely will learn more from the senior growers in here than myself .

all yes i forgot to answer 2nd ? rooting hormone best 4 cloning .refferably super thrive very potent . i think but not sure rt now cause i used all of mine but it may be 1 drop per gallon of water

Most clones root in 2 weeks.
The best product to use is Oliva's Cloning Gel.
Professionals root their clones in rockwool or oasis cubes, in a cloning tray (2 bux @homedepot) with a humidity dome (2 bux @homedepot), under 2 40-watt flo's.

Growing from clones is better than from seeds because:
-Using sexed clones means no space wasted on males,
-Using clones from a sexually mature plant means you don't have to wait 4--6 weeks like from seed,
-You know what you're getting.

I use a liquid rooting hormone, I dont remember what kind, I root my clones in Rapid rooter plugs. My clones root in about 5 to 7 days.
+ everything guru said.

I had great luck with seeds and enjoyed growing the kids from babies. I did end up with a lot of extra work along the way because I did not know the sex of the plants! Now my girls are doing great and I will take my first shot at cloning. No wasteful gardening on male plants. (This sounds terribly sexist but I am being literal ;-)

Hi Dude,

The easy answer as soon as change the light to 12/12, if rooted.
In my experience, and it does really depend on the strain, but let’s put that to one side. I would say once clones are nicely rooted and ready to be moved from the nursery to their final destination, 2 weeks in veg 18/6 then 6 to 8 weeks at 12/12 in flower (I have had excellent results at 6 weeks, Cheese.) Hope that helps answer your question.

With seed you need to purchase/germinate/sex/veg/flower, but if you do use seed, once sexed GROW A MUM!! take cuttings.

CLONEX gel, is the best.

I don't use any kind of gel or hormone. They get cut and scraped, per Massproducers DIY $35 cloner (here (http://www.marijuanapassion.com/forum/showthread.php?t=2799)) and they usually root in a week. Two at the most.
