you guys should go share some knowledge with those guys in the "having trouble cloning" thread. they refuse to believe it's as simple as taking a cut and sticking it in wet "dirt", then waiting a week.

I don't worry about late flower if I want a cutting. Stick em in wet vermiculite for 10 days and they will root, then veg about the same as any other clone.
But I've discovered that clones taken during the first 2 or 3 weeks of flower have the nodes stacked tighter and branch better, producing far more cola bud sites. Almost all of the strains I've cloned that way produce twice the yield or better.
I've gotten to where I force my mothers into flower for 2 weeks before I even cut clones.

Many people advised me not to take cuts after flipping. I'm glad i saw this thread so i can go on with my original plan.
As a clone newbie i got some questions though:
I'm going to pop around 30 regular seeds. Due to time and space issues, I can only veg them for about 4 weeks. As I prolly won't be able to take cuttings at 4 weeks of veg, I was thinking of flipping to 12/12 then just take clones once I see the first sign of pre flowering pistils. That would save extra work: Instead of me taking clones from each plant, i will only take clones from those that turn out to be female...
As opposed to what most of u are doing (taking clones late), i'm going to take em from early or rather pre flowering moms.
Now I've read about the reveg issues... can u guys tell me, how fast and how big will those cuttings grow in 11 weeks spent in a veg cab?
Would it be possible to grow that 1st generation clone, then take clones from it again within those 11 weeks? I'd like to use the 2nd gen clone to replace the original moms and get rid of the 1st gen clone... also due to space issues in the veg cab.
