white rhino clones

[london_grower]

hi

ive just planted my clones into 5 ltr pots using biobizz, seen as there rooted can i put them straight onto 12/12? the reason i want to do this is because i have to keep the plants reasonably small,

wat do you think i should do??

thanks

A lot depends on your grow space, I'd say. Personally I'd say give them a few days to settle in before flipping them. You can use LST/Topping to keep the size in line and I don't remember any mention of WR being too stretchy of a plant.

But I don't see any reason you couldn't take the clones and put them straight into 12/12, since they're already rooted... but I'm inexperienced at clone growing (Still waiting for mine to sprout roots. Stupid things)

yeh i think i will put them under two 60 watt CF's for a couple of days maybe a week.

ive heard a bit about topping plants, how do i actually do this?

do i find the newest growth at the top and pinch it or sumthing

Pinching works. What I've done myself is simply cut off the newest growth right above one of the higher nodes. Then the plant will start two new tops from the crotches of the lower nodes. This seems to work best with some veg time afterwards for the plant to recover. It WILL slow down the overall plant growth briefly, but the results can be worth it IMO.

yeh thanks for that i nipped the top just above the highest node. decided im gunna veg for a week on 24 hours a day and then move on to flower.

cheers for help pimpslapped.

Never hurts to let the plants get their roots dug in nicely before flipping, IMO.

Root mass has a lot to do with final yield after all, though root growth during flowering is somewhat dependant on strain. From what I've been given to understand, Sativa's tend to keep growing roots throughout flowering moreso than Indicas.

yeh makes sense to let them settle in, just gotta get sum batteries for my camera and ill get sum pics up, gunna need a fair bit of advice i think.

im using biobizz, is it true it has all the nutes init for six weeks?

let em marinate for a week.then flip em. that week will give em time to adjust
