Like Str8, I have perpetual, and no mothers. I have 8 different species currently, but that is always changing as I gain better and better stock.

I have never kept a "mother" plant. I, like Rusty, clone about 2 weeks before flower room and because of my situation, I make sure my clone took before it goes into flower room, or I would need mothers.

It is tricky to do this and you need to have near 100% success with your clones.
