    hey i have never really thought about cloning and i dont know why. I have some purple plants outside, and 1 bagseed. The bagseed is like 2 months old and im pretty sure its a female (it has 2 lil string like leaves coming from it, not a ball on a stick), and the purples are about a month old and foot high. I would like to increase the # of plants i have, but i dont know if cloning is the answer - b/c they might not be able to flower. If i clone the bagseed plant and root it in some soil this weekend, will it still be ready to harvest when the others flower? Also, can i clone one of the purples in order to make a new plant that will flower normally - or are they still too young? I read that a clone is basically the same as its mother, does this mean it can still flower? If so im gonna do it with a few plants, unless it can harm them then i wont. does cloning have ne negative aspects to it? I tried to do a search but i couldnt really find the exact answer im looking for. Thanks for the help

    It takes 2 weeks to root a clone, prob. longer for a beginner.
    And it needs to be done indoors in a domed tray.
    That wouldn't give the clones much time to veg--less than a month (plants will begin flowering next month).

    Don't worry about cloning this year. Concentrate on what you already have.
    NEXT YEAR start early and kick out lots of clones.

    The benefits:
    You don't waste time/$ on males.
    You know what you're gonna get. Take a cutting off a dynamite donor and you're gonna have dynamite weed from that clone.
    To make clones you need a halfway decent growroom.
