I dont know if its possible...but what i'd like to do is grow several mother plants of all different strains. Is it possible to keep them from growing once they get to a safe size to pull clones off of? The reason i want to do this is to have a plant(s) to be able to continuously be able to pull clones off of, and to pick my flavor if i enjoy it. Is this possible? and how?


Thanks

This is possible. It's usually best if mothers are from seed. But either way, all you have to do is keep the lights on 24/0, 18/6, or 16/8... as long as you keep it in veg, you'll forever be able to pull clones.

Yes just keep the light schedule 18/6 or 24/0 and it won't bud, if it gets too big just trim it.

You now how a limitless supply of plants.

My buddy has 27 mothers and sometimes they get so tall he'll chop 2' off of them and depending on the strain you can take clones off at about 18" tall

Yup it's as easy as snip, snip, snip...and so on just be sure to sterilize your scissors or what ever your using with some rubbing alchohol first to prevent contamination, after all you want to keep this plant alive as long as possible.
