So im setting up my new grow op and im basically forced to build a box to hold my clones and mothers because im using my entire closet space for flowering.

My mother/clone box really can be that big. im thinking 4 foot wide by 28-30" deep. I will have a DIY aero cloner in there which will be 24-30" wide X 24-30" deep (not sure how big i want it yet) so that leaves me enough room for 2-3 mothers. every 8 weeks im going to need around 20 clones, so i was thinking why not LST my mothers? Would I be able to get more clones from a LST mother than a normally grown mother? (sorry Im kind of a newb when i comes to LST)

i LST'd my white widow and she deff got bushy, pretty much stopped the vertical growth. but i got 8 more tops to clone. i guess it depends what strain and what lights you have, i use LEDs there cheep ones so it dsnt do much to make them grow, seams more like its just keeping them alive. but i do have alot more success cloning the tops rather than the lovew branches for some reason

Absolutely, i even fim her b4 I bend her over, creates an explosive amount of bottom growth, turns her into a bush in record time. From there every couple days or so bend the highest shoot over. In my mind if its the highest shoot it has the most auxins to displace. Repeat this process over and over. After a bit you'll have so many tops you'll be able to share them with your friends. :hump:

This is true, I'm currently LSTing a mother plant and while the plant has remained about 6 (or less) inches tall, it has gotten over a foot wide and has at last count 9 (I think...I'm stoned and it was like 45mins ago, haha) tops at about a month old.

LST should work swimmingly for a growcab of those dimensions. :hump:
 
Hey man check out my journal maybe that will help. ->google pure power plant mother LST CFL (the link here doesnt work)... I get 15 clones every two weeks easily, and more come back each time!
