Best way to start and easily maintain mother plants?
Razza - My mothers are in #5 pots with coco. (That's just where they happen to be. Next set of mothers will be in soil. They grow great in the coco; I just want to get away from watering every day.)
In any event. I first cut the moms when they were about 18" tall. This resulted in a main stem about 6"-8" long with lots of branches coming off the main stem. Now I let the plant get to 2' - 3' tall and can then take about 60 very nice clones from them. When I cut them way back, they are really scraggley and only about 12" tall. But they rebound real quickly and are ready to cut again in about 3-4 weeks.
Trust me on this, if you get a couple of healthy mothers going, having enough clones will be the least of your problems.
Cloning is fun and it is easy. If you follow the simple instructions you can find here on the forum, you will have an overwhelming success rate and, well when the mom is ready to be cut, she's ready to be cut and you hate to throw away good cuttings so you clone them and then one day you look around and find that you have clones coming out your ears.
So, good luck! Enjoy your new venture! :thumbsup:
