The major exception to this is keeping a bonsai mother plant over a long period of time, but that's a topic for another thread.
Stinky, is there a thread on that already, and does it include how to do it hydroponically? if so, please point me in that direction.

i'm trying to set up a SOG so any info on the care and maintainence of mommas is appreciated.

(oh yeah, thanks for the rep the other day)
