There's a search feature, and about a billion posts on it, and you need to pick your own way from reading, learning and experiencing... But heres a copied post of mine on the subject, and a link to the thread in question, you're welcome...

Yeah to be precise I run clone from clone in a 2 week interval with a mother for safekeeping, and the clones root in less than a week and spends a week more vegging in the chamber before I veg them under the lamp. So +3 weeks vegged really.

Hate to be the thread-killer, keep em coming guys!

Hehehe I havent done that kind of math, but I'm approaching 1 gram per watt under the 600 hps in this way, and essentially have a SOG-kind of filling of even tops on 4 roots/pots under the lamp... Can't be bothered with all these clones and pots... But some of it is due to the rest of my...

Meh why not decrease your plant count SUBSTANTIALLY, along with the workload? Are the strain a branching hybrid or a lollipop indica? I get 4-5oz of premium bud from a two-weeks vegged hybrid topped and maximized with prunings and guiding of branches, in 3,5 gallon pots... Veg until 6-8...

A complex issue. A flushing is most often a procedure to leech out excesses, and you run a lot of water through... Overwatering is like djruiner says to constantly keep it too wet, which more often than not induces rot. If the plant is sickly when flushed - which it often is - the flush might...

To my knowledge springtails ain't that bad and will not infect the plant with diseases, munch up it's roots, or damage them in other ways that I know of... Search, here and in google.

And your containers seems big for that size of plants... Look into potting up in stages, it builds better root-systems and decreases the risks of what you're experiencing now... I see you use perlite, I've found around 30% of it to be a good ratio.

Yeah I'm not too into all of this flushing-advice, it is necessary at times, but often induces problems such as yours with root-rot as a consequence. Do whatever you can to dry them up ASAP, root-rot is chronic, systemic, and some nasty shit really...

Do they jump an inch or three when disturbed? Springtails, very common and not too bad.

White pistils emerging from the preflowers at the nodes, female. The ballsacks are usually somewhat later to show.

Until you get more experienced, take new clones from the finish-vegged clones just before you flower them, keep the mum perpetually vegging and supplement with clones from her for your flowering scheme if you need them, and change her out once in a while with one of her OWN cuts to keep the...

Ummm hehe I would just like to add an hypothesis of mine... The Indicas, originating in the Himalayan foothills, may just have developed their squat, dense stature and tight growing pattern as a way to create their own microclimate for protection against lower temps and weather in general...

Flower them at 6-8 weeks old, when they're starting to show preflowers and the second lower branches (first "true" set) are big enough to take for clones - if you plan on that. Also, if you're short on height you might wanna look into topping them and allow for 6-8 branches to develop without...

Reptiles determine their sex from environmental factors, alligators for instance will become all male, all female, or a mix depending of the temperature in the nest. Also, species of fish can change their sexual expression according to environment and other factors. Cannabis as a plant...
