    But why not take some anyway, if it’s a good plant you’re gonna miss it lol

    Well, I thought about it, since it'd save a lot of time and worry if it turns out to be female and I wanna grow again, but since I only have one light I don't know how I'd get it to work out, since the clone would have to be subjected to 12/12 lighting as well as the mother. I could maybe stick it in a window but uh, would rather not, and with my windows it would probably get even less lighting than 12/12 under the light...

      If you have just a bit of space.. you don't need lots of light to keep them alive, just give em what you can until (hopefully) momma is done flowering.

        I'd just read that if you have the light cycle on 12/12 and then switch back to 18/6 it can cause the plant to go hermaphroditic, so I don't know how having a clone under the same light for the 1-2 months the mother might take to flower would work out... Is that not actually how it works? It's hard sometimes to separate the actual science from the superstitious bro-science

          I've heard the same thing, in any case it will probably stress the plant out. Suggesting you stick the clones in a separate room/container with whatever light you can give them, like some cheap florescent or led bulbs, they won't grow very fast and some will die especially the first week when they're rooting, you could prolly keep them in a big cardboard box or something the entire flowering period.

              Appreciate the update! Yeah definitely don't tear it down until you actually see male parts. Is it possible there's a light leak or something? Shitty if it does turn out that way, but if so please try again and just do basically the same thing, raising a healthy plant isn't trivial and you got that the first go round.
