Growing from clones gives you a head start over seeds. You skip the germination and seedling stage, get guaranteed female plants, and know exactly what genetics you're working with. This guide covers everything from receiving your clones to harvest.
Receiving Your Clones
When your clones arrive, unpack them immediately and mist them lightly with water. Place them under low-intensity light (T5 fluorescent or dimmed LED) for the first 24-48 hours. Keep humidity high (70-80%) and temperature around 75°F. Don't transplant immediately — let them acclimate for a day.
Transplanting
After 1-2 days of acclimation, transplant into your chosen medium. Whether you're growing in soil, coco, or rockwool, make sure the root zone is moist but not saturated. Water with a light nutrient solution (1/4 strength) at proper pH (6.0-6.5 for soil, 5.5-6.0 for hydro).
Vegetative Growth
Run 18/6 light schedule during veg. Gradually increase light intensity over the first week. Begin training (topping, LST) after the plant has established and is actively growing — typically 7-10 days after transplant. Feed with a balanced veg nutrient at increasing strength.
Flowering
Switch to 12/12 light to initiate flowering. Transition to bloom nutrients. Most of our strains finish in 8-9 weeks of flower. Monitor trichomes with a jeweler's loupe — harvest when trichomes are mostly cloudy with some amber for peak potency.
