    Default taking cuttings ?

    at what stage of my growth should i take cuttings ? i'm just at the end of my 2nd week of veg. all plants doing well and one is mammoth (the one i'll prob take cuttings from). i want to try and keep the grow going as soon as i harvest, so i'm thinking it would be best to take the cuttings a week before i flush the plants through with only clean water. would this be correct ?

    your help kind people would be greatly appreciated.

    Taking cuts in flower is harder as they have to revert to veg before they will root, and that can take a couple of weeks. I'm no expert but I think the best time to take em is just before you switch.

    ok thanks mate ! how about if i took them about 3 weeks before harvest. that would give them time to revert to veg and root. by that time the other plants would be harvested and the new ones could go straight back in to 18/6. would that work out ?

    I don't think so, but I'm sure someone who knows more than me will be along soon.

    If you must do this then take the cutting when the mother plant is only a week or two into flowering.

    U2NG is right, take them while in veg if poss and at the latest 2 weeks into flower.

    I like to do things the hard way :P

    hi you can take your cutting while they are still in veg and put them in the fridge there is a link here to the grow diary of it being done and had cuttings take root after being in the fridge for 41 days. you will stunt growth slightly you may as well take cuttings a couple of days before you go 12/12 this will give the plants a chance to recover and also you dont want to waste energy producing buds for them to be cut off and reverted back to vegging.
