what size container are you keeping mother plants in

[GreenGalaxyFarm]

I usually replace them with a clone from itself after a year or so.

I'm a small-time grower. I only need a few cuts, here and there, each year. I grow a lot from seed, as well.

good idea

wont the large pots result in trees in a indoor space, thinking ceiling height may become an issue for sure as its hps

Depends on how close the lights are to the plant. You can lower the light and once the plant starts to get light burn top it 2 or 3 times. And it will bush up. But just my common sense is this is home grown. So you can use a 5 gallon and veg it for 2 or 3 months and be able to get 30 or 40 good clones off a good mother. Just all depends how many cuttings you need.

Yes they will be big tree trunks. Gotta get the big shears to cut the stocks of these ladies. Not scissors. Or clippers. Lol but a healthy steady mother produces clones that will root in 7 days. Easy.

I have found that one can take the top two or three inches off the top of the soil and replace it with new soil to feed mothers. No need to transplant the whole container only the top part of the soil. I have had a plant using this method for over 10 years.
