How many clones do you take from each plant?I pull cuttings off a plant before I flip to 12:12
Repeat as often as you like
How many clones do you take from each plant?
So, when did you take the cutting? Do you have to do it in veg?View attachment 2086928
There’s a rooted top from a Blue Dream now in flower. That top might’ve two inches when I put it in the dirt
When do you determine if it is unfavorable? After harvest and cure? And how long can you hold onto the mother plants before you have to renew them?I do bonsai mothers. I'll go ahead and take a clipping and root it, then toss it in a cup. If the strain is unfavorable, I toss it.
I make mini hempy 32 oz cups. I also grow in hempy buckets.
So, when did you take the cutting? Do you have to do it in veg?
Also, how do you keep it small? Small pot?
But then you have stay on top of watering and feeding the right amounts at the right time to keep it healthy.
Sounds like a full time job. ;)
Sounds so easy, but I think I need to get my inside grow space set up before going all in.This is how i m doing it:
i take a clones from each plant, then flower each plant to see what's my favourites phenotype(s) , meanwhile i keep the clones in small pots in a bonsaï stat with some lst, topping and carefull watering pratice, when the selection is done i discard all the unwanted clones and then i transplant the pheno(s) i want keep into bigger pots as mother with eventually a lite roots trimming before transplant.
Right! And unfortunately I have hording tendencies and HATE culling anything.Sound like a good plan.
The main matters when doing a proper selection is launching enough seeds and then having enough room to keep a clone of each plant in veg while the plants are flowering

So, did one survive? If so, you are duty bound to give it another chance. LOLA proper pheno hunt isn't viable for most, so it can't hurt to lean heavily on being lucky af.
So true, killing is different than nurturing. Look at the bigger picture! I've recently found joy in killing the lesser variants. I put two clones outside last night to experience the deep sleep of winter only to provide more opportunity for the more attractive sister.
I feel bad yanking them out of the media and they never seem to die fast enough unless you chop them, so freezing somehow seems less cruel and natural.
After cure. The cups are just 32oz paint mixing cups and don't take much space. You can fill a 2x2 with 25 of them. It'll be a bit crowded if you let them get bushy.When do you determine if it is unfavorable? After harvest and cure? And how long can you hold onto the mother plants before you have to renew them?
Very nice! Thank you that helps alot.After cure. The cups are just 32oz paint mixing cups and don't take much space. You can fill a 2x2 with 25 of them. It'll be a bit crowded if you let them get bushy.
I keep the mothers for about 4-6 months and either toss if I want new strains or grow out another mother. I used to prune the roots, but just clipping a new mom is easier. My oldest mother is 2.5yrs old but the new clipping is only 1 months old. Still grows some nice flowers.
What’s the process to get a clipping to root and get it into soil? What products and soil are you using for cloning?View attachment 2086928
