I've been doing compost also,I have a 5' wide x 4' deep x 4' tall pile going now with kitchen scraps,lawn clippings,and leafs with chipped sticks. But it's in partial shade so it never realy COOKS,just reading on how to cook soil-they say oven at 200*/internal temp 180*for 30 mins..but I will do outside over fire ,will just have to keep eye on temp,anything over 200* is toxic.been using it in raised beds(not cooked though),so a lot of weeds are popping up.

I load my compost with organic nitrogen. Like bone and blood meal and feather meal. That gets it cooking .......with gas lol
you will know when the temp goes nuclear. This will kill off any stray seeds etc.

So they were feed Capps OG and molasses brew ,every gal is happy. If you look at the bottom left,she's only about 51/2" tall but has seven/ eight nodes,I think it's from the CFL being on her tight all the time.dont know. I will try and get individual shots later.

I need to get clones off of them all and start to flower! Where or how do get clones ,do I just top them and clone the top? Do I need to pinch and wait until new growth comes in? Do wait until lateral branchs get bigger and clone them?they are now reaching close to 10-12" tall. Once I get them cloned the mothers will go outside to finish summer,while I flower clones to find sex.
Any help is appreciated.

All plants I've grown before I've pinched early on. These I just let go so far.

Yeah dude, get clones of those girls. You can do either to get them, top them or if your branches are big enough , take them. I like 3-5 nodes on a clone , depending on strain , so if your bottom branches can provide it take those, unless you were gonna top anyway ... Up to you doggie... Everyone has a different method so I'm sure many people will chime in .

@SmokyPockets I wasn't sure if topping them three nodes would hurt or stress them too much.but no bottom branches are big enough to clone. Thank you.

Naw, topping doesn't hurt them , I'm no expert , but when you top , I believe the plants release auxin( ? I could be wrong here, please chime in if I need correcting) and it stimulates growth on all the branches rather than focusing on the apical meristem ( top cola) . Many strains grow much better when topped ... I have no experience with any cookies, but the only down side will be , it sets you back a little time wise
