View Full Version : 11+ Strain Mother Selection

The goal is to produce a library of 10-20 strong and vibrant mothers of different strains to supply clones to myself and for 3 other 215 patients.
At the moment I have: 6 Blue Rhino, 17 Blueberry, 8 B-Rad, 1 Gold Train, 1 Lemon Diesel, 2 Lemon Skunk, 1 Master Kush, 1 Redwood Kush, 1 Royal Kush, 6 Super Silver Haze x Northern Lights #5, and 10 of The A Mix.
I'm trying to find: Pot of Gold, AOTA, The Cheese, Arjan's Haze #3 (will end up ordering from Greenhouse Seeds eventually), Black Indica, other great strains.
I hope to find the one or two best of each strain to turn into mother plants so I can produce 10-20 good cuttings from each plant every two weeks. I like to start with more clones than I need so I can select the strongest of the bunch.
In Humboldt County it is allowed to grow up to 3 pounds and 100 square feet of canopy. I'm planning on staying plenty in the limit as my needs are about 1/2 oz-1oz a week and I can produce enough with one 1000w HPS in my 4'x7' flowering area.
In the near future I will be building a mother grow chamber using less than $75 (small budget makes you creative). There is currently a sale on 26w CFL bulbs at Harbor Frieght for $0.34 ea or something rediculous like that. I'll post how I hook up CFLs like chain Christmas lights to avoid buying sockets and heat buildup.
more to come.

Couldn't have said it better, life is going to get really good for you :) My brother has epilepsy and smokes to control his seizures, if only my state was legal he'd have a similar grow op going!

All plants are clones from clubs, and gifts from local friends. The unfavorable closet floor growing area along with receiving multiple infected plants is actually holding up decently. Safer soap and Einstein fixed most of the problems I was having, but I'm still having slight PM issues, no worries though.
The Clone-Ship (mother cabinet I am building for under $75) is most likey going to be made out of particle board, ball bearing PC fans, Jimmy-rigged 23w CFLs, and lots and lots of planning, additional research (never know when someone has a new idea), and designing.

You're gonna like that Lemon Skunk, see my thread in Basic :thumbsup:
Supposed to be 63/35 Indica/Sativa, but mine are very strongly biased towards the Indica phenotype.

The Lemon Skunk are my fastest growing clones. They were just about 4" tall two weeks ago.
