Best system for a mother

Hi, I'm just about to take cuttings from my best 5 Master Kush regulars to eventually have the best one as a mother (just about to flip 12/12)

Im just wondering on what system to use for her as I'm full hydro NFT .

I have never used DWC & have been looking at that but am open to anything ...all suggestions appreciated

unless you need huge numbers of cuttings, and are okay with the extra monitoring, I’d stay away from mothers in hydro. It can be done though.

I suggest soil or coco, more forgiving with less maintenance. But slower growth

NFT is fine if that's what you're comfortable with, use a Hugo block and change out the mother regularly, so use a mother for 1 harvests worth of clones then replace her with another clone, I've kept them in rock wool Hempys, dirt, Hugo blocks both drip and flood.

You don't mention how many clones and how often you'll be taking them, this is a factor cos if you need 4 cuts every 2 weeks u might wanna have multiple smaller mothers in a rotation in Hugo blocks, or if you need 100 every 3 months you might wanna have 1 or 2 in big pots on drip or flood

I was hoping for 1 or 2 mothers for a 42 nft system

How often will you need clones, that's gonna dictate the size of the pot you're gonna need to keep ur mother in,
I'd just go for a simple drip system with 2 pots, there's loads of tutorials on how to set one up, 2 pots ontop of a tote, drip ring for each pot, pump on a timer, pretty simple stuff
