One thing I have been thinking about is what way it is actually best to take the clones from a motherplant.
I mean if I keep taking tops I will get two new tops from the node under that cut. If I take them lower I will loose one spot from which new ones can grow, right?
Either way will eventually cause problems.
I see these motherplant people keep for years and years without making them bigger and bigger.
What is it I havent grasped in the harvesting of clones while keeping a mother about same over all size over time?

To keep taking 20-30 clones from a plant a month for years while still keeping it growing all over and not have to move further and further up and out is what I would want.

My question is how is this best done? What I have done is to FIM the top first one time and then the new tops one more time as well as 2 of the highest branches. It makes sence to me to make a Rating: 5
