? anyone
:( :(
I took 50 from a Willie Nelson, over a period of about two weeks, no damage, no stress ... :jointsmile:
I'm not a pro, but the size of the mother might affect that quite a bit. something 2' tall versus something 4' tall would be a big difference.
That said I think 12-15 a week would be a good number to look at.

I usually take 12 at a time, then choose the best 8 for my grow. Depends a lot on how big she is. It also depends on how healthy she is. If she's having problems you probably shouldn't be taking cuttings anyway, but if you do, it is more likely to stress the mom to the point of non return.
how long should the clones veg for when they get under the dome? can you do 12/12 within the first week?:rastasmoke:Quote:

You can get dozens off a mom in a 5 gallon pail.
Don't take more than 1/3 the total foliage mass of the plant at any time.
