I've been flowering for 3 days now and i know for a fact the main baby i have is amazing genetics its 6 weeks in nd up to my hip 3 leaf seedling so i want to go out and buy a 200w CFL and put it in the corner or go get a tent. So am i able to still clone shes been showing signs of pistils for a couple weeks so i want to get some cuttings but if i cut from a flowering plant and put it on 18/6 will i get hermies? Also anyone know of something cheap to cover up the smell like under 150 i need something that I can plug in put on the floor or something i was shown ones you can put on the cool air tube of your light but i dont see how that would do any good?

Yes you can clone during flowering and no it won't go hermie. However you will see the plant continue trying to grow calyx's and pistols once rooted for a couple of weeks. And will start looking weird but its normal. Takes a few weeks though to finish then it will start growing again.

As far as smell, 150$ can get you a nice carbon filter but it depends on your ventilation.. so what's your exaust fan specs? Do you Possibly need a exaust fan to work a carbon filter?

Or, Ona Pro Block , search that online (google, amazon, ebay) that is sorta like your air freshiner on steroids.

perfect yay! Can you do it anytime during flowering or it is just best to do it early? Also this is what I don't get my ventalation works odd compared to others I guess... I will upload pics but I have a virtual sun pro growers light with the cool air tube and 'hook ups' for fan and ducting so I have the ducting on one side and the fan on the other blowing the hot air from the light into my room. I could put the fan on and then the ducting over the fan leaving one of the sides open but then I don't understand how they work if you hook it up to the light?

Yes anytime in flower. My opinion the sooner the better but it doesn't really matter.

About your setup, I'm not sure I understand if you can explain please.

CIMG0014.jpgCIMG0017.jpgusually the fan is on the left but its off and ive got a bigger fan to bring in some cooler air but on the first pic you can see a little nub at the base is that male or too early to tell? i swear my lady didnt start with a nub i just saw pistils

Ok try putting you fan on the right side of the light, with ducting leading to outside the room. Take ducting and attach to the left side of the light, and tape/hang from the ceiling. That is where you hook up your carbon filter.

So in that picture it would look like this.. Carbon Filter -> ducting -> light -> fan -> ducting -> outside room.

ok sweet i just fit everything too and that would work perfect plus i have 25 foot ducting so i could easily slice it in half. So does the carbon filter work as a fan is that why you hook it up with ducting to get rid of some extra heat plus the smell? Any opinions on the sex?

Combo in my sig is a cheap setup for like $80 shipped. You don't have to exhaust it, you can tape up the fan to the filter and just let it suck through the filter and blow out into the room.

how would that work? I would have to put the fan back on the left and hook up the filter to the end on the ducting which is outside my room? don't i need the filter in the room to absorb it would seem pointless to put it outside my room? thats just my thought this is my first time dealing with autumn in my room lol

I don't really follow. But, you can run your setup this way...

filter => cool tube => fan => ducting => exhaust
or
Filter => Fan (vent back into tent)
Filter => Fan => duct to exhaust

However you want! If you are going a longer distance vs a shorter distance with ducting then the filter in my sig works but I would possibly go for a higher end fan with more CFM.

i get you but i feel like its somewhat of a hazard possibly to just have a carbon filter sitting on the end of the light if i do that couldn't I just put it on the floor..? and i like the 2nd way but my fan only fits on the cool tube on way and thats the back way so the front has to be on ducting.

yeah all you have to do is have the carbon filter on your intake end. its just that simply. the exhaust end can be either outside or in it doesn't really matter. the fan goes anywhere in between the inlet and the exhaust. beyond that its just whatever materails you have and/or space permitted.

a cheap DIY project that, ok at least in my head works great. just get a cheap fan. not one that intakes any air from the sides of course. then put a carbon filter over the back and have it blowing away from the plants.

as far as the sex of your plant there its not looking good. give a couple more days and if that little guy starts having buddies that don't have white hairs. then you know for sure.

so you're saying put a 6 inch fan on the floor having it suck the air from the room into the carbon filter? is this what you do with your room cause the only order i can do it in is Carbon filter>Light>Fan>Ducting>Room(exhaust) or have some ducting maybe a foot attached to the filter. thank you just needed conformation D:

As for cloning, I have harvested and reset my lights to 24/0 they looked funky but took clones off of that and they grew just fine.

There's really not a bad way of doing it. Just remember to SUCK the air through the carbon filter put push the air through it. You can run ducting from the CF to your cooltube, you dont have to have it RIGHT on the end of it. It's really all up to you though! Most people vent out of the cab/tent because its exhausting warm air out and pulling cool air in via an intake system.

Just hook it up however you want or can piece things together. After you have it all together have someone if there available. goto the other end of the house. smoke a bowl with your plants. wait a minute or two. Then have that person come back and see if they smell anything

If it is a 100% female done from seed or bought in of a other grower,then because they have not been flowering that long you should just get away with it.After about 12/14 days of flowering i would not take clones,but in all honesty i would not clone a flowering plant unless there is a really good reason for doing so,i once had a plant clone only strain that everyone love.But i had flowered the last one thinking i could get more clones of a mate,in the time all this was going on he was busted and the genetics were lost apart from the one i had in flower,so i cloned it i think it was about 2 week in,the clones all took and i had that plant for another 3 yr.Some people say that flowering nutes effect clones but it has been proved that clones like phos and potas,thats why i always use advanced sensi a/b to dip the rock wool clones in only a very small amount though............tyke

I should have just not flowered i wont even risk cloning anymore, just will flower for awhile :) but im going to go ahead and get a filter and hope for the best i wouldn't be worried but my roomie is now a felon with random home visits and we're in a complex in which it'd probably smell then entire building up. Also i will be posting another thread of the setup asking for advice on better ways of setting it up, thanks again for all your help!
