DIY Cheap Noob Indoor Amnesia Haze grow

I am holding off flowering until my cutting (the branch I snapped) grows stong roots. I can see the roots starting to bud out of the stem already. This way I can keep the genetics for longer without having to buy more seeds or reveg (done that, it's ok have a decent second harvest, but seems too stressful for the mother plant, and there were some herm seeds staring to form). *This is going to be a HOT weekend and I won't be home! So I made sure that the lights are 40cm and I will install a second fan to help her cope with the 35C! She wi probably stress a lot, but you would be surprised how much a cannabis plant can tolerate, specially if you keep it properly fed and watered. P.s. amnesia haze is a bit more tolerant to heat, so if you are growing in summer, choose strains that do well in hot days! Update day 39. The clon rooted well, my girl is happy and strong. I think I will switch light cycle to 12/12 next week. I will prepare her for flowering: a short LST session to separate its branches a little more,I removed two massive fan leaves that were obstructing a lot of light and took two cuttings for clonning. I generally try to mess with the plant the least possible, and when I do (like LST) try to make it as soft as possible, and to achieve an specific outcome. I use : 1. Topping only once around week four, just to definitively break apical dominance of main stem. 2. LST to flatten the cannopy, increase the efficiency of indoor lights and control height and width of plant. This I do once or twice a week depending on how crowded the plant looks. 3. Defoliation is a very debated topic, I tend to try to avoid it, and if I need to, I cut the least amount of leaves possible. Think about it this way, each leaf is effectively a solar panel which gives the plant the energy to grow, if you cut a lot of them, your cannabis might survive and grow, but you are starving her of some useful light. So, just cut the solar panels when you are willing to sacrifice them for something useful. As a noob, it's way too easy to cut too much. You can experiment and 'git gud' with time, be patient. If temperature and humidity levels are a concern, I would pluck a few leaves to let the air flow better and avoid humid pockets where mold and mildew can form. Sometimes I cut some of the lower branches to give better access to the soil while watering, separate the cannopy more from any soil borne pathogen and because I like having extra clones to preserve the genetics and to give away to my friends. .... Anyhow, give your plant a few days after defoliation and training to recover before switching to flower. .... We will see how I decide to do it at the end. You know, I like to have a plan to keep a sense of direction, but to do as I feel in the moment to have fun and enjoy the unexpected.
