Yes environment and the other things mentioned can damage the genetics. That was stated in the article posted a few pages back as well. You stated you had bug issues, which can genetically damage a plant and cause it to perform poorly in your room or others.The environment could have altered the genetics i suppose ?
The changes im speaking of have nothing to do with environment. I have waaay too many environments for that to be possible. (multiple people , methods, ect..)
The article a few pages back explains it good enough for me. Then, what Kassi posted matches the rest of the world.
ill just stick to what ive always thought and just keep the same mother as long as possible.
I used to do Mother’s in little 6 inch pots of hydroton in a flood and drain. They got cloned every 2-3 weeks for 9 months to a year and then replaced with one of the clones. Plants grew just like the originals.I do mothers the wrong way, drain to waste hydro in pro-mix. It works but they get out of control within a year. Really should be done in soil to slow them down and extend the life span of one "generation".
My problem is they just grow too fast in hydro. I never grow anything that I just can’t just buy clones of these days so I only keep them for a year or two but I just hate taking of mothersI used to do Mother’s in little 6 inch pots of hydroton in a flood and drain.

I have seen plants change, but it was always directly related to a care issue with them, never related to the generation or time frame. Some growers can’t pinpoint their errors and just see the damage the plant took from the problem without ever acknowledging the issue.
They do grow fast for sure that’s the only way I could take cuts so oftenMy problem is they just grow too fast in hydro. I never grow anything that I just can’t just buy clones of these days so I only keep them for a year or two but I just hate taking of mothers
You're actually a douche, running a douchey set up. Keep that freezer open, brofessional.I’m a pro running a mediocre setup I guess u could call it?
You must not know bout hiz streets credzz. Mofo don't b bout dat shidz.You're actually a douche, running a douchey set up. Keep that freezer open, brofessional.
How is a 5x5 tent in a basement with perfect temps and humidity except for that one afternoon for 2 hrs a bad set up?lol I’m running two 600w hps and my on temp is now at a comfortable 75-77, I baught a 600$ portable AC/humidifier setup the day after the heat/humidity sky rocketed outside causing hot temps in the basement, that’s corrected now. No harm done to plants there still thriving and praying 24/7, day 57 flower today I started scoping buds yesterday the crystal balls are still clear no milk yetYou're actually a douche, running a douchey set up.

beat the piss outta the bitches! are they running the whore house or are you ? chop 6" off them bitches everyday till they decide to slow down to how you want them. If not beat um up some more. they'll slow down.My problem is they just grow too fast in hydro. I never grow anything that I just can’t just buy clones of these days so I only keep them for a year or two but I just hate taking of mothers
I ended up taking care of some strains for a friend and before I know it I have 6 mothers. Really only want to have 2beat the piss outta the bitches! are they running the whore house or are you ? chop 6" off them bitches everyday till they decide to slow down to how you want them. If not beat um up some more. they'll slow down.
for real though , i defol every few days if they decide to grow too fast for my liking. that slows them down a bit. (veg only)
6!? yea that fuckin sucks....i have 2 of each and i have 7 total. Fuck that! i dont want anymore then 2 myself. i hate working momas all the time. In my perfect world i would only have 2-4 mothers , all the same strain. I have at least 14 moms and im getting ready to go make about 4-6 more just to keep up.I ended up taking care of some strains for a friend and before I know it I have 6 mothers.

Sounds like you are a perfect candidate to do tissue culture, and it seems like the best option to just have a genetic library. If you are keeping mushroom slants then TC for cannabis seems logical. I’m pretty certain you can buy TC kits with everything to get started on a small scale.I’m so interested in this because pheno hunting is my favorite part of the hobby and I want to keep a lot of good shit around. I’m also interested in preserving some of them long term, and I understand my only options are S1s and tissue cultures, because I don’t have room for a shitload of mothers. I’m still not totally convinced on S1s and suppose I won’t be until I actually try it. Tissue cultures are the most interesting to me. I have a LFH in storage and mad agar skills (lol) from my mushroom growing days. Anyway I’m confident in a clone’s ability to survive for a long time now, but now I’m more interested in archiving them the same way I’ve archived a shitload of different magic mushroom varieties in culture tubes.
Look man this is what I been trying to explain to these guys, about backing off on water late in flower and cycling it hard.. it says a myth is letting it die from not watering yes, but leaning it back hard certain times after day 45 of flower is beneficial af I know this from experience...Go back and read EVERY muthafuckin one of my posts and see how fuckin respectful i was being...in the middle of someones elses battle .....look how you came at me and tell me how in the fuck you started this shit ?
