Multiple questions

Just a few theoretical questions about some growing methods, If somebody put cuttings into a cloning machine until roots dangled 2 to 4 inches then transplanted to 6 inch pots of enriched top soil (loam and compost and something else) with some perlite, little bit of bone and blood meal on top, then mulched over it with alder chips with traces of mushroom mycelium would this be a good method until transplant?,
Is it safe to use bone or blood meal on a newly rooted clone? Should bonemeal and bloodmeal be put only on the top of the soil? Would mushroom mycelium mulch alder chips be good for plants?,
If small clones show signs of sex is this a sign of a short veg time and a small plant?,
Would it be safe to start acclimating clones to outside the day after transplanting?
Thank you for your time.

I can answer this one! Lol No. Your plants will show sex approx 3-4 weeks from GERMINATION. If you clone your plant at 2 weeks, each clone is a smaller, but exact genetic copy of the original. So even though its only it was cut a week ago, its still a 3 week old plant. Same if you clone a plant that's vegged for 2 months. The clone. Is a 2 month old clone the day it is taken. The cells don't "reset" the internal timer just because they were cut and forced to grow roots. They're still the same age as the mother-plant.
As for your other questions, sorry, but its beyond me and my knowledge... lol

Another question, what is the real benefits of planting directly into the ground? Wouldnt planting it in a 3-5 gallon pot allow for a decent sized plant but also allow transporting if needed?
If somebody could answer even one question would be appriciated.

The advantage of planting straight in the ground is that your plant has unlimited amount of space for the root system, which equates to larger/more bud.
Why would you need to move your plant? Pick a nice safe spot so you don't have to worry about the plant or having to move it.
Yes you can start to harden your clone off after they have rooted.

Well you already have transplanted it. I wouldn't add straight bone and blood meal to a newly rooted plant. Might end up burning it.
