How much space for mother?

[kief13]

Hey all well the title kinda explains it.Im wondering on how much space i'll need to house a mother i will only be taking about 4-7 clones every 2months if that helps give u an idea..Also im wondering on whats the smallest pot size i can get away with using.

i would go with about a 3 gallon pot. you can get away with a 2 x 2 foot space. maybe run a 250 MH or even just some floro tubes. 4 - 7 clones every 2 months is not much at all.


or, ...................


the first week or two into flowering take cuttings off the lower branches of your plants. root those and you won't need a mother.

Yeh you can keep a mother and her clones on cfl's, or fluorescent tubes warm & cool bulbs.If your not gonna cut alot of clones ,you could just give her 1 or 2 main stems.

ffd2blk i had never thought of that,and i have a feminized blue cheese is why im needing the info.
But since u gave me this new idea,let me make sure i understand:take cuttings from her(blue cheese) and then i can just clone off of the cuttings everytime before i throw them into flowering?.Am i understanding this correctly?

wait until they are about 2 weeks into flowering. then cut off 4 or 5 lower branches. put these in some rooting plugs with some rooting gel on them and put them under a CFL on 24 hours of light a day. within 2 weeks you should see roots. throw them in pots and put them in veg. this is your next crop.

it's a little more detailed but that's the basics of it.

Hmm, thats a good idea fddk, but why wait until they are in flowering? I thought they take longer to root when they are in flowering?

And you can do that way of cloning forever with no effect on anything?

at two weeks they are doing the right thing to root best. it's some scientific stuff. it works though.

forsure thanks i never would of known u can clone off of a plant that was already a clone.

oh yeah. allllllll day long. people will try to tell you you lose something but i don't believe them. there are a lot of "clone only" strains out there.

^^^ That the truth! A clone is an exact genetic copy of its mother, so it isnt going to change at all.
