Took a clone at day 35 ish. Of flower. It was literally two buds on a stem. It took about two weeks to fully root and is looking about as sexy as miley cirus twerkin right now. Should have some good clones on her in a couple more weeks

If you look at the grow diary in my sig (I know, it takes a long time to load, I'm working on that) 35 days in will seriously hinder the "monster cropping" effect you are going for.
Depending on how the plant looks, between 12-16 days is optimal. In the diary, you'll see I took all the clones at different times. I.e. I took one flowering clone at 14 days, I took another at 21, another at 28 etc. It has pictures so you can see how much of an effect
when you take the clone has.
@ soopy just beware soon as u go open very you will never Hood grow again
In my opinion, if you have the temps to do an open hanging HID, you are better off to keep one in the hood like before, & just use hanging cfl's. Way less heat in such close proximity to your plants. & with the same amount of heat increase, you could have multiples of them. They are so close to the plant that the cfl's lower heat is beneficial...that's just my experience anyway.
But I have tried
just vertical lighting. I found that, at least in my situation, I needed the light from above as well. But I was also not doing hanging HID's so that difference would be substantial & maybe why it works?
