A complete growing guide from transplant to harvest, by Prime Cuts Nursery
When you receive cannabis clones from a nursery like Prime Cuts, the first 24-48 hours are critical. Here is exactly what to do:
Proper transplanting sets the foundation for your entire grow. The method depends on your growing medium:
During the vegetative stage, cannabis clones grow rapidly, building the structure that will support flower production. Key factors:
18/6 (18 hours light, 6 hours dark) is standard. Some growers use 20/4 or even 24/0 for faster growth, but 18/6 allows recovery time and saves energy.
Maintain 72-82°F (22-28°C) during lights on. Night temps should be 5-10°F cooler. Avoid swings greater than 15°F.
During veg, cannabis needs higher nitrogen. Start at 50% strength and increase as the plant grows. Watch for leaf tip burn (reduce if seen).
Rooted clones: 2-4 weeks veg. Teens: 1-2 weeks. Clones can be flipped to flower earlier than seed plants since they're already mature.
Training your cannabis clones maximizes light exposure and yield. Common techniques include:
One of the advantages of growing from clones rather than seeds is uniformity — since all plants are genetically identical, they respond to training consistently. This is especially valuable in commercial operations using SCROG or SOG methods.
Cannabis clones are switched to flower by changing the light schedule to 12/12 (12 hours light, 12 hours dark). Since clones are taken from mature plants, they can be flipped to flower at any size.
Most strains at Prime Cuts Nursery flower in 8-9 weeks. Fast finishers like Purple Porcelain finish in 8 weeks on the dot, while some heavier yielders may take the full 9 weeks.
Knowing when to harvest is crucial for maximizing potency and terpene expression:
Symptoms: Drooping, wilting for 1-3 days after transplant. Solution: Maintain high humidity, reduce light intensity, avoid overwatering.
Symptoms: Brown, slimy roots; slow growth; foul smell. Solution: Improve drainage, reduce watering frequency, add beneficial microbes.
Symptoms: Brown, crispy leaf tips. Solution: Reduce nutrient concentration by 25-50%. Flush if severe.
Symptoms: Reduced vigor, smaller buds, lower cannabinoid production. Often symptomless until flower. Prevention: Only purchase HLVD-tested clones from reputable nurseries.
Best indoor strains: Purple Porcelain, MAC 1
Best outdoor strains: Donkey Kong, Tree Flip

Cannabis clones typically take 7-14 days to develop roots. Factors affecting rooting time include humidity (65-75% ideal), temperature (72-78°F), rooting hormone used, and the strain's natural vigor. When you buy rooted clones from Prime Cuts, this step is already done for you.
Start rooted clones in 1-gallon pots, then transplant to 3-5 gallon pots for veg. Final container size depends on your setup: 5-7 gallon for indoor, 15-30 gallon for outdoor. Transplant when roots fill 80% of the current container.
California adults 21+ can grow up to 6 cannabis plants per household for personal use under Proposition 64. Commercial cultivation requires a state license. There is no limit on the number of clones for licensed commercial operations.
In most of California, the ideal outdoor planting window is late April through early June, after the last frost. Northern California growers (Emerald Triangle, Sonoma) typically plant in May-June. Southern California growers can start as early as April. For multiple harvests, use light deprivation techniques in a greenhouse.
