mother plants

Discussion in 'First-Time Cannabis Growers' started by DietCola, Oct 28, 2006.

  1. I have a couple of questions:
    -How long can you keep a mother plant alive in the veg. state on 18/6?
    -Would you keep her in a bubble bucket or soil?
    -Mother plants (2 of them) in the veg. state, are they smelly. Like do I need
    a cardon filter for them?
    Thank-you
     




  2. You keep the mother plant in veg as long as you'd like to pull clones off of her. You can keep a mother plant for quite some time. I know people who have grown off the same mother plant for a year. I don't have enough space to consume all the clones my mothers produce so every now and then I flower off the mother, and start a new mother from one of her clones.

    Second question is your choice. I'm more comfortable with soil, so I keep my mother plants in soil. Growing in a bb may speed up vegatative growth so if your going to be needing a high number clones more often the hydro may be the better choice.

    No my 3 mother plants do not give off a very strong odor. I'm able to mask my plants in veg with deodarizers. In flower though they stink, and yeah I use filters for flowering. If you need a 100% stealth grow then yes a filter in veg will be a good idea as there is a slight odor especially when tending the garden
