@Bigreid95 cloning those they might be a bit young. Wait until you to the 4th or 5th Knode is houre in a hurry. I usually clone before I flip to flower. Unless I want a monster crop clone. ---

They look good then. That explains a lot that I miss in the picture. Remember they’re technically adults. So don’t forget to feed them! ---

Hey covert I’ve just cloned mine also. I’m 1 week from flip.

Yes feed them the veg schedule, as long they have proper roots, they’ll take it, and thank you for it. Unless you plan on flowering them right now. Feed them flower nutrients with a bit of extra nitrogen for some stretch. I’ve flipped a clone to flower, there’s a grow journal on here search clone to flower. Documented all the way to harvest, and posted weight. @GreenCoat ---

@GreenCoat > [@Clone to flower](https://ilgmforum.com/t/clone-to-flower/16814): > > Okay, @dbrn32 ‘s suggestion I took two clones, and as soon as they have roots they’ll go to flower. These are Girl Scout Cookies strain. It’s a hybrid, and doesn’t stretch much when making the switch. This is an experiment I’m sure it’s been done before but I dont know. So, the basics: ph’d Water was used, the medium is FFOF, it’s what I had. I used cloning gel for root development. I also sprayed the clones with Clonex spray. Just want to mention Clonex is made in Michigan… not relevant I kno… ---

Firstly, genetics is absolutely the foundation of how your plant will perform. As for how far away my lights were. I’ve changed it week to week from 400mm to 600mm back to 400mm back to 600mm. I’m experimenting with this grow in every way I can without damaging the plant. I’m really not the one to be asking for advice😅 I can only share my first grow experience. My lights - Mars Hydro 900w - CFL 250W 6400K - CFL 250W 2400K ![20181205_220047](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/3X/c/1/c10de761130890337c1c6320aa19e39832b68a3b.jpeg) ---

Technically it’s my second but my first bubble gum plant died two weeks in and I never tried again until now. I realise I didn’t have anything required to grow properly back then. [Next page](https://ilgmforum.com/t/first-time-cloning/26331.md?page=2)
