I too am glad we are all friends again. Had some trouble watching, but kept fingers shut.

One big happy family.

You taken clones yet Em?
Not yet WW... heeding the advice of my elders and waiting a week after the transplanting. I have a new 3 gal pot to figure out how to water now... and that has my full attention. Well almost full, I still have #3 whom I did not transplant so I can play with fixing his nute deficiency with the liquid stuff just to see how it works. Still not 100% sure on the sex of that one yet.

This weekend will be a week after the transplant and I will take 4 clones at that time. The mother is now standing at 11" tall and will probably FIM her next week (after recovering from cloning) to see that work. Then I plan on 4 more clones spaced out about 3 weeks apart from the first batch.

The temptation in front of me and the advice I seek now from the collected experts is this: If I manage to get 6 or 8 viable clones going in the next 3-4 weeks, would you keep this original as a mother in a veg state or would you now grow her out and keep one of the new clones as a new mother? Keep in mind that I am not doing SOG, so I don't have a need to get 20 clones, just 2 strong plants will fill my 30"x50" screen. I just need to keep the line alive. What are the advantages/disadvantages of keeping her going, vs getting to a small harvest about 5-8 weeks earlier?
