Do All Cuttings Produce TOP KHOLAS????

[Zandor]

Guess my 5 year old mother must suck now.

Yes the clone shares the age of the mother guaranteed that is true.

But potency is still a factor of environment more then just age. Proper environment and nutrients will control potency and I define anybody to tell between 22% and 20% THC. You may be right but I think it takes more years then just a few for genetics to degrade.

5 years is a little old for a mother but I can't bring my self to flower her just yet. She still produces 100 clones at a time.

BTW........welcome back harddon

Wow.. A five year old plant.. How big is it?

[Da1KrayzieThug]

Yea I always wondered how big mothers get to be. I was told the genetics of a plant disallow it from growing past a certain height. If the plant stops growing in height, then where would it produce more clones from? I'd love to be enlightened about what exactly happens to a plant if it stays in vegative state...forever.

I just cut it back and keep it under 400w MH 18/6 every day. It still gets high humidity after each time I take clones and recovers quickly. She is just about 5 ft tall and I need to keep a tomato thing around her some of the side shoots are not that strong. She has been kept in a C-13 cabinet all her life so the walls supported the stems. If her stock thicken up and get stronger I may keep her until the end of this year just to see how she does. I should replace her but it will take like 4 of mothers to give me as many clones as she can. It is time for new strains around here. I guess I should flower her after the next round (if I can bring my self to do it).

See even I can't make up my mind.

So far the clones are all fine and the smoke is first rate A quality buds. Not much else I could ask for.

Zandor,

Thanks for the WB....but I just come and go......can;t say I will ever come back....but I do miss most of you all.

As for the age / quality regression....

You mother will be fine of course. My reference to the degradation was in taking a clone of a clone of a clone....to turn to mother plants.

You will weaken the strain each time a clone is taken from a clone. After a few hits, yes who gives a shit though if its still good?

I wont complain.

I thought all your shit was taken in a break in last year? DId they miss your 4 year old mother plant?

[Easy Roller]

Now I'm confused......If clones inheret the mother's genes and age ....should they not perform the same as the mother who is kept alive along side the clones,who is both the same age as the clones and the same genotype?

A clone taken from a mother is the same age and has the same DNA.So that clone becomes identical to the mother. So why then will a clone taken from the mother be any different to a clone taken from the clone?
This is where the theory runs into contradiction of itself!

As for plants that are kept alive for many years....I could understand that they might loose potency with age......Is this not the same as an old man not having the strength he had as a young man...or an old woman who stops menstsrating?

Zandor, If you can't bring yourself to bloom your old friend....Why don't you take seeds from her ,that her genetics might live on :thumbsup:

[Zandor]

Yes they got the harvest not the room. The room is in a lock place they did not enter. They only took my harvest but no plants. At that time Mother was in the garage in a C-13 cabinet.

You are 100% right about a clone to clone to clone degradation.

Well I hope you stick around dude.

I'm still looking for someone to write a good thread we can make an FAQ on what CFL to use and how to use them properly for a quality grow.

You up for that challange?

[Easy Roller]

Can someone please tell me what a CFL is??? please!

[harmonicminor]

oh that one's easy...
it's a "Crackwore For Life" :-)

[Garden Knowm]

cheap fucking light


EASY ROLLER, why dont you ask ZANDOR.. he might know...

ahahahah
LOVE
