<shakes head> so it is that big of a deal to keep 20-30 clones all marked so you can identify with plant they came from under a T-5? Once you know your fem's, you pick yer best pheno and toss the others. Then you can make them moms or whatever the hell you want. THEN have quality to clone from, not the other way around. The idea is to clone from the best pheno plants.

Best pheno's being nice tight nodes, yield, mold resistance, etc etc etc. Of course your growing method and overall setup (lights, vents, nutes, etc) will have an effect on the plant as well.

For instance, if I am growing a 10 pack of a new strain. I veg all of them. Before I put in flower I take 2 clones from each (in case 1 dies or whatever-which is rare) and I mark them as well as the plant they came from. Then once I put all 10 of the vegged plants into flower I shitcan any males of course and watch for my best pheno and I keep the clone of THAT plant I took for my mother out of the remaining clones minus the males I already executed. I toss the others, make her a bonsai mom, and I got clones when I need em.

My theory is to grow plants with only the best pheno's. WHy fuck around growing some low yielding, lanky ass plant ? While my new mom is in her bonsai training, I have already been vegging clones from my other moms I have and minus a day or two to clean the systems I am ready to load the aero's and flower againimp:



Since I originally answered, I thought it only fair I go into a little more detail. If you dont understand my method now, I guess I am just a misunderstood person.

bongerstonerd00d Reviewed by bongerstonerd00d on . Question on Cloning I have never cloned before. As I have read, you have a mother plant which you never take out of the veggie state. If this is true, how do you know it is female, and if not, if it was male, wouldn't you clones also be male? On my next grow, I am thinking I want to make one a mother for clones. Rating: 5
