Hey was that you that mentioned switching to T5's for veg? I'm thinking of doing the same this weekend. What brand did you go with, and what were the specs? Juice worth the squeeze?
I am using normal osram cool white tubes 36 watts each, and if you want your plants short and bushy it is the way to go. Slightly reduced veg rate on the smaller babies, but four week old are kicking. StOw you won't believe how tight internodes are. Getting much thicker stalks too. I just don't like how little water they use that is all.

Any tips on keeping mothers healthy and small pls send them to me!

Or books/webpages with solid info.

Also a suggestion on a cloner. I am a mother and don't have much time for tending to clones in soil.

Terrible twos incoming!
Advice for mums: Replace soil mothers every 12 weeks. Keep two mums, more even cuts, two small mums make for a better pass than one big one IMO. Keep them n shape, trim weekly. When stalks become too thin reduce total amount of branches by half. Shave their legs of all super fluffy growth, this causes problems after cuts by turning mums into afros of grassy stalks. And never. Ever. Ever leave a mother plant with a sitter unless you are willing to lose it. Keep the strongest clone as a possible new mother every time you clone, every time.

Easiest way to deal with mother plants is keep them in coco, you can give them nutes whenever you want and unlike soil coco has no nutrients in it so you don't ever need to transplant or change it.

Most store in fridge but I'm a lil scared to do that but it seems to be the best option. I've been keeping mines in old big cigar box not humidor in a very dark cool place. They have been perfect so far but as many as I have now I def want them to be protected. Too much money put into these don't want it to be a waste
