Mother Plants and Clones

[zemaze]

How do you "trim" a rather large plant that has grown too tall....Can you just chop it down a little?

ye just keep some nodes and fan leaves where new growth will grow. would be better to transplant too to trim down your roots a bit. i change my mom always grow a new mom and throw the old one when the new one grows big enough. i take all the clones i need from the old mom and kill it and keep the new one fresh and small. i do this every year or 15 months:stoned:

Also how long can a good mother last??? Does it ever die or stop growing??? Would I have to keep trimming the roots of the mother in my system? becuase I figure If you keep a plant alive its roots must grow crazy long, how do people go about doing that mother/clone business, someone explain to me the process please.
