Seeing them on 24 / 7 without having to enter and import germs, etc. trying to make a sterile environment. This shows only 1 otherwise 3. Do you think this is a goodoption?

Nice:)
Do you think it would be better after 1 week to put them in large cubes and hidroton?Then another 4 weeks of MH 18 hours?

but I do not know whether to be dealing with cloning. I wanted 10 G-13 to make 10clones and mothers continue growing. but I do not know what will happen. I have never cloned.

Hey what happened to my other posts? They are all gone. Did someone delete them?

Cloning is very easy. People think its hard but once they do it they see how easy it is. If you take clones you don't have to keep a mother plant. But either way would work.

Rockwool is adaquate yes but I really don't like it. But then again everyone is different. Just because I don't like them doesn't mean they are no good. What I don't like about them is when I put the clones in and pinch the bottom shut sometimes it doesn't keep the plant in tight. Sometimes it will lean a bit.

So you think that the best option is to not put them in large blocks? not to confuseanything.

Not sure who you are asking. Different people will have different answers. If your talking about clones no I wouldn't put them in a large block. All you need is something small. A small rockwool cube is fine if your going to use rockwool. Personally I just use a soil medium. I am having a brainfart but there is another medium to use. The thinks that you soak with water and they expand. Grrr having a brainfart can't think. Someone help me out here.

You will have the plants so you should try cloning. Just before you switch to flower top all the plants at between the second and third joint. By the time you are done flowering you have plants ready to go.

Easy cloning
This is what I do, why I do it, and how.
What you need
Sharp small scissors I use Frisker’s and get them from Hommer depot. They last me for years but all I use them for is clowning. I clean them with an alcohol swab before using. They stay sharp and have great control. I always put the cover back on and clean them before putting them away.
16 oz. translucent beer cups, I use the translucent ones because they allow me to see if they are watered enough and the development of the root system. I use a small pocket knife to poke 2 holes one on each side. Stick the knife in a ¼ inch and give it a small twist. Holes plug slots almost never. This is for drainage.
Rooting gel, get some good stuff, if in a jam get powder. This provides the boost to get them going.
Seed starter soil; make sure it’s SEED STARTER SOIL. Buy the best you can afford. I use MG and it works great for starting them.
Get your stuff together, fill cups to the top with SEED STARTER SOIL set them in the trays and water with 6.5 ph water. If using chlorinated water put some in a pail for 2 hours. It will off gas by then. Water the cups, here is when you will see the magic of the cups being translucent. So there all wet now you cut.
You best bet is to make sure you have a node to stick in the dirt. So cut below the 3 node just above the 4 one. Clip leaves off the 3erd node and pull the clone through your thumb and finger (make a O with them) as you pull it through gently squeeze your thumb over the finger to close the O and trap the clone tips just above your finger. Now cut the tips off, stick in gel/powder and stick it in the cups as far as you can but leave the leaves above the top of the cup.
Water when you see the colour of the dirt change, the magic of the cups. Hope this helps.
I get 98% success this way. No dome just under the lights.
