How you find the "Mother" Plant. The simple version
Adding to Latewood's instructions...
Finding your FAVORITE mother plant....
Follow his directions, using a whole packet of seeds... take 3 clones from EACH of the 10 resulting plants... sex them... kill the males... save the remaining clones... flower the mothers.
REMEMBER TO LABEL EVERYTHING WELL!!!
Take really good notes on your flowering females. Treat them all IDENTICALLY.
-Exact date on which flowering was induced
-Plant structure- is it hardy? Are the internodes short? Is the stem stout?
-Bud development
-Exact time to harvest
-Harvest weight from each plant
-Cure seperately in individually labelled jars... smoke them... note any variations in flavor or high
-Look over your notes and make a decision as to which mother (s) you want to keep.
- Find the clones from that female and propagate the living crap outta them.
This is especially useful when you are running genetics like Nirvana Standard, where the plants are not necessarily all that uniform in traits, and you are quite likely to end up with a crappy plant or 2, some average ones, and an outstanding female that is worth keeping.
