At it again, started off some pretty lights, skywalker kush, durban poison and blue dream auto as pictured from closest to farthest below. And i got my med card, no longer just a care giver finally a patient. Anyone have experience with bonsai mums? Would the genetics be just as stable with clone mothers, id like two of each, besides the auto. Im a little hesitant to root prune to keep a bonsai mom i dont want to kill off these guys.

Havent posted in a while, but finally got the mother room up and running with clones. Got purple pineberry started while the seed pretty lights and durban poison bonsais are thriving, gonna try and flip the clones to flower in a month. Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
What size are the white pots and the size of the black ones? I use the square black 1gal for clones and for about 1/2 of the life of a mother and 2gal for the last 1/2. Then, I flower them out, or give them away. LST plays a big part with my mothers and I'll do 5 or so extra clones to get 1 or 2 with growth suitable for LST after topping. Like 4 branches close to the same height on the stem and different directions. Make a collar with zip ties that will slide up the outside and catch on the lip at the top and use pipe cleaners to adjust the branches. You can re-use this rig over and over. Don't bother with the root pruning anymore, after about a year the plant just gets a bit too gnarly to mess with. Much easier to start another mother from a clone a few months before needed. I figure on about 3 months to get a new mother *right* from a freshly rooted clone. Been running the same strain for a bit over 5 years and keep two mothers, one is pretty much just back up. Something to think about, but your plants are looking good. Wet
