Selecting a Mother
About 25 days later, the 10 Shiva Skunks are ready to give clones.
Took at least 2 from every plant, some where willing to give more. But the most I took were 4, just because I'm lazy and did not want to keep soooo many records. BTW, from germination to completion, everything that is important is noted. ie: growth rate and vigor, it's stature, ease to clone and ultimatly how good it finally is.
Couple of pics of the potential moms. I'm sorry I did not line them up for a photo so you could see the differences in height between them in just 25 days. (back rows are the autos) And 3 pics of the cuttings in the EZ-clonner with thier name tags. Now I know the tags look big, but they will grow into them. Plus these will stay with the plants for the complete life cycle including harvest, drying, and tasteing. Like I said before, notes about each at every stage. We will be looking for a plant that is first potent, then short and tight nodes, easiest to clone etc. (plants on right of clonner are Apricot that came out of clonner and are doing a little veg time till going to bloom room)oldmac Reviewed by oldmac on . Selecting a Mother Thought I'd share something here about the need to grow out a fair number of plants from seed, in order to select the best plant(s) for future use as a mother. I constantly see folks here with plant problems that are simply the result of growing one or two seeds, and getting what you got and then looking for help because; 1) too short, doesn't seem to grow "like my friends" plant or 2) my plant has lots of stretch and is lanky or 3) I grew this plant and it was nice and bushy but this strain is Rating: 5Keep it civil please, gentlemen. -StinkyAttic
