Good to know.
I have a 5x6 for flower and a 2x4 i just started adding mothers to.
Got 2 in water and 6 in dirt.

Was looking at grafting ~3 plants of 3.
def push/cut this back for now.

I'm Just finishing (mid flower) my first dwc grow.

Might switch to all hydroponics.
So kratky mothers make more sense.

Maybe i could also keep enough clones dormant until they are needed.

@Mikedin is grafting. I can't remember how many strains he's got on one but a very interesting project. I'd like to do one with several plants and then flip it to see how it reacts. Would they all finish at the same time? That would be a fun one. I bought 2 rolls of grafting tape several months ago to have on hand and misplaced them. Had a large GDP stem brake and couldn't find them. The older I get the more this happens🤣
 
PM. Always around unless I spray every few days. It's just like the aphids and spider mites, can't eliminate them only control their numbers. These plants have been covered pretty much for a week straight. When I'm home every day I remove the tops and let them air out and that and neem keeps they pretty clean. Part of growing outside. Fun, eh?🤣
 
Did you try an epson salt spray?
I haven't. I use to spray an aspirin mix to stimulate their natural defense response but find neem the best at controlling it. And as a bonus it kills aphids and spider mites. I also use Southern Ag Garden Friendly Biological Fungicide if needed closer to flower. I also use their Bt.

I had to replace a BBHP and had 2 so bottled them up along with 2 more Mother's Milk's and added my 2nd G33.

I'll start taking cuts of the GDP.

My mom's are only taking up a 4x4" space each, when in the past they took up 2x2 Foot EACH! and how I ended up with trees that I didn't need nor want.

Life changer for me🄰

Couldn't be easier. I hardly think about them except for the 1st and 15th of the month. Gonna have to take a few cuts off each whether I root them or compost just to keep them on the smaller side.

Moved the whole lot to the West side of the large greenhouse under an LED light.

2 Mother's Milks
2 Gelato's
2 Blueberry Hash Plants
2 Cherry Wine hemp

Yesterday, Feb 1 I replaced the fert water. Took all of 10 minutes. I've only been dealing with these plants on the 1st and 15th of each month.

I'll never keep giant mom's againšŸ˜‰
