I'm thinking ahead to plan for cloning any decent looking plants out of my initial seed grow.
I don't want to have a perpetual grow because I can't afford the electricity, don't need that much weed and don't want the stress and hassle. I want to knock it on the head for a good few months and then do a grow in the winter when heat won't be as much of an issue. However, it would be a crying shame to let any good genetics I may or may not have in my tent go to waste when I harvest.
So I gets to thinking, could I keep a mother "ticking over" without aggressive growth somehow? I figure having her under a low watt CFL like 125 watts or less will give a fair amount of stretch. Is there a way to keep her happy, keep her short, and not require a lot of electricity or attention?
When I was a lad I used to grow bonsai trees. Could I do this to a mother, trim her roots and keep her in a small pot to encourage her to grow like a dwarf? Would this have any knock on effects to offspring plants?
Cheers y'all.
