Ok it’s between aerocloning or jiffy pellets I’m going to think it over this week. So @Ponky im guessing making a mother out of a clone is a bad idea? It’s my first grow so I didn’t know u were supposed to clone then grow out and keep the mothers stable.
Mothers from clones are pretty standard. Purple Kush didn't break down for over 7 years. If you clone from good stock you tend to have less issues. If you're blessed with good seeds. Yeah. Keep the mothers going. I keep a mother for around a year. Then replace. Sometimes only 6 months. When I make clones I like at least a 5:1 reject to keep ratio. So only the best clones ever get to grow up. And when I veg I have spares that will either go in or be mothers. And slow growth or weird leaves. Or issues whatsoever and I get rid of it.
Currently I'm hunting for a stable and consistent indica with a sweet berry and citrus taste. That grows medium sized buds. With a greater than 23% THC level and a strong terpene profile. So in 4 months I'll know if I have succeeded. If not. I will buy some clones that are known good. Like Rockstar. Pink Kush, Hindu Kush, Bubba Kush or maybe something else if they have samples of the smoke. Do a few pounds. And try again with new seeds.
