Hey, Chrissy. You know, you really seem like you know what you are doing. I have to compliment you on your plants when I get the chance. Ok, no, I'm not exactly talking about Bonsai Moms. Those will give you 50 clones each, easily...and you can keep them for longer and cut them down and they will reveg etc. Have you seen my Bonsai Mom?? It is not as short as would be preferred...but it definitely has some massive bushy growth. One could get 50 clones off of her easily.


But, I'm talking about creating a temporary Mom every time you go from flower to veg and VV. Since you have 2 months between harvests, this is much too long of a period of time to veg a clone. If you are growing from seed, you would want to veg for a period closer to that (2 mos.) to get the plant to maturity...but when working with clones that are from a mature plant, these clones can be viable to flower the moment they are rooted. Most people will still veg them for a couple of weeks, and them flip them.

Now, during the time you have your flowering room occupied, you would be vegging one plant...and growing her into a mother. Pinch the tops a couple times and make her really bush out. You veg her for about 1.5 months or so, and then a couple weeks before your harvest, you clip the desired amount of clones from her (including one for the next cycle) and throw her away. Those clones you have taken will root and be almost ready to flower as you harvest your crop. I think SantaCruz said he vegged them a bit longer (approx. 2 wks) in his flowering room before they were flipped cuz they had just come from barely rooted.

Wow, that was long...:smokin: Thanks for putting that Bonsai Mom link up on my thread though. It's good shtuff, for sure. Everyone should read that! How are your harvests coming? You should be right in the midst of them. I'll have to go check you out on your grow.

CG, Oprah's a sexy bitch, for sure. Damn, man that is exactly what you wanna do to make a beautful Bonsai Mum. keep her short. Don't be shy...cut her up if need be. She wont go anywhere but OUT. This one got too tall and there was not enought light to keep the bottom leaves alive, so they died off, thus making her a tall Bonsai...but still in the vicinity of a Bonsai Mom.

Well, I hope to finish up this thread here soon. I have just a few more to post, then I'll let her die. Seems the boards are picking up a bit cuz this thing is already down in the middle of the page. Seems like people are looking...but not posting. Poor me. HAHA
