I was just wondering what everyones opinion was I have 4 plants all ready to go into flower...Waiting for some more room in bloom room always stay 100% legal on my license.... But I was wondering should I throw them in and take clone and make mother out of it or should I keep the original plant as a mother and take clones off veg those and put those in flower...... in my opinion I think from seed is better mother material forms a solid taproot from birth but clone is an excact copy.


comments well be appreciated I kno everyones wondered this at one time :leaf:
 
Put all four into flower so you can see how they perform. Take a clone off of EACH one and label them 1-4...

Pick the best phenotype and use the clone to make a mother plant... You can then clone off that mother and have consistent
plants.

So to answer the question you have to flower the seed one unless you only have one kind. I have success cloning off a mom
for a couple harvests and then making a new mom each year.

Are all four plants cloned from the same mother? How many of the four are from seed?

I might add, if you do flower those mother plants, and run them an extra long time... 14 weeks or so, they may produce some viable pollen. Good Mother plants have a way of doing this if you know what to look for.. just the random nanner usually works for me, but I hunt for them. If you are lucky and have this happen, you could then backcross your best girl to her mom and get some fem seeds... just a thought.

Whats more important to you...your license or more weed? better to have a small sequential grow than this volume in volume out, and seeds got the valuable virility that clones miss

Also scoobydube, in another thread you claim to have 3 pennywise.. ..... see what I'm doing is calling you out.. it seems you change your story a lot, and I'm looking out for things like that when I'm on a site such as this.. It may be wise to know that most of us do the same.

Yeah... that's cool... I doub't you are misleading anyone... and I'm happy for anyone who has the energy to grow medical grade herb. As far as the meetings go... I don't do professional.. because the only difference between a professional and an amateur is money. And I prefer a forthright approach , rather than laid back and lackadaisical one. But that's just my cup of Chaga. I would discuss this more, tho as not to be overly polite, and false, I get a strange vibe from this virtual engagement .
