Mothers?!?

What do I need to do to slow the big one down, grows more than an inch a day.

Also look at the size of the fan leaves on the closer plant, holy cow its huge, 12 inches across...

Basically what is best way to care for mothers if I wanna pull several sets of clones off her? I pulled 30, 3 days ago and it was like I made her mad shes growing like crazy

I agressively chop my mother plants back every 3 weeks, down to almost stems and they always bush back out again.

Gotta agree with TC, the only way I've been able to slow mine down is a very aggressive haircut.

Thanks guys I just hate throwing away cuttings and have no place or 50 more atm

Oh I totally understand. It makes me sad every time I have to do it. Just the other night I threw away enough material for probably 75-100 clones. I have 4 mother plants and only need about 5 cuttings off each. The rest gets scrapped because I have nothing to do with it all.

Yep, just had to do that on Tuesday-had a bunch of nice cuts that ended up in the compost pile.

Hope you don't mind me poking in with a similar thing...

I'm having a similar issue with one of my mothers. Except I didn't do much training, topped once but looks like she never got topped, so that's out of the book.

To keep height down, could I literally chop her in half (like top 40%) and get rid of the top half, or is that way too stressful?
