Sup icmag I just picked up some cuts from valley health in sac. I got one each of candyland, blackjack, gdp and blue dream. I've only got a couple grows under my belt before this so I'm all ears on suggestions and tips. Right now I have them in two gallon pots in some happy frog. They're under a cfl set on a 18/6 schedule with an exra hour of light in the middle to interrupt the dark period.

I've never started from clone before so Im a little concerned about preflowering. All of my clones have pistols and hairs on all of the nodes. Is this normal?
And how long should I keep them inside under the light before I can move them outside without worrying about preflowering? And should they be on an 18/6 cycle or should I have a shorter dark period like 20/4 or something? All the clones had a good amount of roots coming through the rockwool.

Also I was hoping to get some input on people's opinions of the king klone brand. Originally I planned to get some dark heart cuts from rcp but its too damn hard to get them between my long ass work schedule and the huge swarm of people who camp out and shit waiting for them every Thursday morning. Seriously aint no body got time for dat lol. At least I don't. Anyways, from what I've seen and heard the king cuts seem pretty decent. What's y'alls experience with em?

Thanks for lookin, peace and good luck this season!

You should just leave them at 18/6, don't need the hour in the middle. Do that for a few more days then put them outside. They shouldn't flower this time of the year. If you're worried about them flowering, get a bright flashlight and light them up for a few minutes about 10:30 each evening for a week or two.

Good luck!

Hey Oakhills thanks for the advice man I appreciate it. I will put them out in a few days. So I guess the hairs and pistols are just a sign of sexual maturity rather than meaning the clone is already going into flower. Have you grown out any king strains? Thanks!

We've ran the Phantom cut from K.K. in a gh light dep. Its Cherry Pie X GDP. She is one frosty plant. Ive heard nothing but good things from king klone company. Im not sure what the deal is with the names Kens strains and there's are the same but the genetics are different?

They won't flower if U put them out, these past few days were the longest days of the year so this is the time of the year you can put your clones out with basically no worries of them flowering.

You could of put them out the 1st of June with pretty much no worries, in the future years I would recommend you do that for more veg time. And yes it is normal to see pistols at nodes (preflowering) when your plants are under 18/6

So I did a quick Google search and found this on rollitup

King klone is legit the seeds are kens granddaddy genetics they use to be san jose granddaddy but had a falling out so kept his seeds"

So apparently they used to be partners or something and split up but kept the same genetics.

Glad to hear you liked the phantom Noonin. Im pretty excited to see how this blackjack is gonna turn out. Actually excited for everything haha. If you got any pics you feel like sharing of your light deep or anything else you want I would love to see. Thanks man!

Hey DrGreenthumb333 thanks for your advice. I will definitely get an earlier start next year. I would have loved to have started earlier this year but I am currently in the process of buying a house and didn't want to start until I knew I would have a good spot for outdoor. But now that I'm in the clear and have a pretty decent spot lined up I'm good to go.

By the way I just wanted to say I've been on icmag watching for a while but haven't posted until now. I've seen some amazing things happen here and have gained a ton of respect for everyone who shares their knowledge and experiences here. Shout out to the big dogs leading the way like Mendo420, BYF, Schrews, Epicorchard, Hillbilly1, Grow nerd, Hatchbrew, Stankdank, Oakhills, Noonin Norcal, DrGreenthumb333, Mofoo, and Ganjarebel just to name a few. Sorry if I missed anyone else. Y'all are badasses for letting the world know how its done!

So I put my clones out Wednesday under full shade and they did fine. Then yesterday I had them in partial shade and it got pretty hot and I had a couple fan leaves that were trimmed shrivel up. The candyland got the worst of it but I think they will get adjusted soon. It's going to be another hot one today so I have them back under full shade.

Finally its Saturday and I had some time to improve my setup a little bit. The candyland and the blue dream both got burnt. Anyone have a suggestion on how I can help them? I'll post pics

And here's the black jack, which is doing the best and the gdp that's looking ok too. So far ive only given them plain ro water.
