Cloning outside?

[Guest]

Hi guys.

From what I can understand about cloning(to be honest, I haven't read up on it much since I got the basic idea of cloning a while back), it's best done indoors with a good setup for clones. My question is if I'd be able to go ahead and clone the 3 girls that I have outdoors right now. I get about 12/12 all year long, with the exception of maybe 13/11 for a couple months. These girls just started to show female flowers(about 2 per node), and was thinking that if I could get a decent 6 inch clone from the side shoot(plan on growing single cola) on each plant, they'd be able to root in a week or so, and then get their stretch on for another week or so before they stop and start packing on flowers. Anyone had any experience with cloning outdoors? I've got to admit that I didn't use the search tool for this one, but I did go through plenty of the existing outdoor posts. I guess I just need to know if this is at all possible, and if so, what I may need to look out for. Thanks in advance.

actually im currently trying this myself. i just 2 growth shoot's off of my female dipped them in rooting powder and put them in a hole of soil with a cut bottle over them. that was one week ago. they look the exact same as they did when i cut them so i suppose its going well. just keep it wet. dont let the soil dry out.

That's exactly what I planned on doing. I think the only thing that would matter in my environment would be the light, considering I can't give them more than 13 hours of light per day. How are your roots coming along?

i wont expect root's until about 10 day's which is the average rooting time. i suppose the worst that could happen is they root and start flowering. but it wont stop them from rooting if that's what your wondering.

Ok, cool. The roots is all I was wondering about. Yeah, if they root and flower, it's better than not rooting and dying. I'll take it any way I can get it. Thanks for the input.
