I am visiting a friend who also grows. I have been growing bagseed and have had decent luck with it through meticulous detailing. But now my friend is in dire straights and going to sell me his Master Kush Mother. She is not a bush, she is a plant about 26inches x 14inches. He wants to take about 4-5 clones off her before I take her and im leaving in a few days and want to take her back with me. I live 546 miles from said friend, approx. a 10 hour drive. Obviously I cant fly or something with a full size plant. So, ive arranged the ability to drive.

She is in 24hour light cycle and I know a move with about 11 hours of no (or very little light) is going to be STRESSFUL!! But, I dont want to push her to hermie or cause detrimental stress to her. I have tried to figure out what im going to do, and im thinking Im going to put her in a size appropriate trash can with a snap on lid. To protect her from any type of crush threat and so that there is no germs or outside influence from grow room to grow room. Other than the loss of light.


My question is: What kinds of outcomes am I most probably going to experience? and what are other remote possibilities with taking a Mother plant from 24/0 to an abrupt 11 hour period with no light??? Other than having a few newly snipped spots for a few clones, Im thinking I can really minimize stress besides the loss of light. Remember this is a mom that I do not want to hermie or kick into flower mode. Pretty much any and all relevant info is definitely appreciated!!!

find an opaque barrel so light will get in. its a weed so it will thrive given time. otherwise take clones yourself and transport that way. be wary though, some states like cali do minor inspections (last time i was doing that route) for med fly and other problem bugs. they will ask if your transporting any fruits or vegatables, say NO. inspections will be minimal. if your going across usa borders, forget about it. best of luck mate:jointsmile:
