At the moment I'm runing 35 strains, keeping 50 mothers in stock, and about to acquire some new strains in the next month (Massachusetts Super Skunk, Hindu Kush, Donkey Dick, some landrace Afghani, a different SourBubble pheno from the one I've got, Bogglegum, Hawaiian Big Bud, BlueMoonRocks, and Sapphire). That doesn't count the seed stock I've got.
I flower out mothers as they get too large to comfortably keep in their homes, which are 6" deep square pots. So when they show first signs of rootbound, I take a final round of cuts, stuff the mom in a 3 gallon pot, let her recover, and toss her in the torture chamber (my flower room runs awfully hot).
I'm in the preservation and consulting business. It's a mess. Don't even ask, lol. I do more running around than a suburban soccer mom with 4 kids and a career. I just took a vacation from my 40+ hour a week job because I was getting overwhelmed and needed to re-organize my genetics collection and take like a zillion cuttings. Ugh.
