I was going to do that, but "not to pick nits here" but, dispensaries in this town won't sell clones unless you sign over your plant count (medical ability to grow plants). Even though there is now a law in lace saying that ANY Colorado resident can grow (21 and up, so it may be ok to sign it over) I don't want to sign over my medical plant count and screw myself over somehow (because I don't know how it works yet, and neither does the state really until 2013), but if KronDizzle and the other guy that wanted to "compare hash" come back at the end, they will be the control group :)
Why in the world would you need to purchase your clones if you have seeds? Any reader of this forum should be able to grow a mother and clone it. Proper Planning Prevents Piss Poor Performance in most things. :peace:

I know how to clone (two of the plants in my second indoor grow were clones), my plants just aren't big enough to take clones (in my opinion), and I'm already flowering. I was only given 4 months to grow and have very little money (the sheer lack of information on stress grows online will make this grow support my next grow better than a regular one would have). So I'm just working with what I can, if I can get some clones I will. But if I can't get any by like 2 weeks into flower, I don't feel like it would be possible after that (to flower them).

All I know is I saw one that was 8 inches yes, but there was like 3 inches above and below the cotyledons on one with some scraggly leaves, I don't know but I would assume you would want lush foliage to provide for the flowers... Just my opinion

I had an Idea an I can't find any information online about it, so I have to reveal to RIU what one of my stress plans is, so that I can ask you guys what you think (And now is another one of those opportunities to give me advice I will listen to, just like when I asked about 1000w HPS and it's necessary distance from the plants) So... Apparently the Burmese and Mexicans have tricks where they pierce the stalk of the plant about 2-3 weeks before harvest (not uncommon in America in the 60's, old "hippies" would stick a nail in the stalk, but the thing that was different than what we used to do here in America is...), when the wound was open on the plant, the Burmese would insert opium... In Mexico they pierce the stalk with Acote Pine to give the buds a "Piney Flavor"... Now, my initial plan with piercing the stalk is STRESS. The plant will think it is in harsher conditions, so it will go into flower harder and faster. But what if I were to put some MXE (legal to buy and use for things like this) in the wound of a plant? (1) I'm pretty sure it would take some pain away from the plant (2) May do something similar to whatever the opium in the Burmese plants did, not sure what it does though... So what do ya'll think? If I try it I will only try one plant, so we can see what happens.

I will be piercing at least three of the plants, but the full new and untried method will only be applied to one plant.

retard flowering. increasing the flowering time. possibly causing the plant to throw out male flowers in an effort to seed itself to preserve life. or could make the dank dank. i think the first is more likely though.

Your plant will start hanging out with the tatts and piercing crowd.
Since I'm sharing techniques now... Might as well tell ya'll, I'm thinking about maybe seeing how food coloring effects plants, just on 1 or 2 though. So they might be "dying their hair" lol

If you really wanted to avoid stressing your plants, you'd allow them to
reproduce and you would smoke seeded bud!

like a first grade experiment with celery?
Actually, if the watering with food coloring doesn't work, yes. I will be doing what flower shops do with roses and elementary school students do with celery and I will stick a few harvested braches in a "vase" of purple water to see what happens. But that will only be if food coloring in waterings doesn't work, so I will use those same watered plants in the vase.

And I don't know if anyone has heard of "Companion Planting", but it causes stress as well, and 3 of my plants have some companions growing in their pots (phalaris grass)... So we'll see if those plants end u any better too, or if they just get choked out by the stronger larger MJ plants :)
