I couldn't find a thread devoted to mother plants so decided to start one. I'm a noob to it and would like some information on how to house and care for a mother plant.

My basic questions are:
What size container is required? Obviously bigger is better but I'm wondering how small of a container I can get away with. My space is limited in height so a 5gal pail is too tall. I was thinking maybe a deck planter as they are short but still have good volume. I will probably end up LSTing her too.

How much vegetative nutes are required? Full strength? Half strength? She doesn't need to go crazy, I just want to her to have healthy branches for cutting.

That's all for now. Can't wait to hear from ya's.
