Ask a Grow Question

Anyone have any advice on growing a plant strictly for cloning. Would you top it? I plan on keeping it in veg and using it for a mother for a year or so. Royal Queen Seeds – <b itemprop=”name”>Lemon

I would top it wanna kinda use the bottom part of the plant for the clones I don’t really wanna use the top tops get rid of it about the fourth or fifth maybe even the third that’s what I hear anyway

I’ve been cloning for 50 years. That just means I’m old not correct but my prize most vigorous clone was always the top. I just didn’t always want to take it.

I would let it run and take clones as they are ready . not the top but within 2nd to 3rd node. clean up the bottom of her to keep her healthy. I have taken clones from the bottom but only wile cleaning up the plant.

Mother plants can be shaped to fit any space. Worst thing you can do for the long term viability of a genetic is to let it get rootbound. Root structure is plant structure. I would never keep a mother plant for more than a few months with replacing it. About 1 gallon of soil per month you want to keep a plant in a pot. 3 gallons, 3 months. 5 gallons, 5 months, etc. Lower branches do not make for good clones because of their stretchy structure from lack of light. Not a good start. You want to clone thick stemmed tops for best results.

Thank you for the advice. I’m in Ohio and I’m looking to grow in my outdoor 10×20 greenhouse for as long as I can keep the temps up in it. Going to be adding heat and light as needed. I have 2 plants started indoors now.

Do you know if they intend on adding a thumbs up feature to posts. Would be a great addition.

I have been taking a couple clones of a Bubba Kush when plants are in veg. We have a four plants in flower and four in veg limit and I have small tents. What I do is one way to keep them going but anyone with a bigger plant count probably isn’t going to fiddle around with one or two at a time.
