there are reasons for moms. your situation doesn't need them, but some peoples do.I have never kept a mother plant and have the same cut 25 years later
clone right at onset...there is no need for a mom

Considering you could fit many cuttings underneath the same light in which you would utilize to light your Mother, I can't see a single reason to keep one. Not to mention its simply an inferior way to produce clones since much of the growth will be aged with woody stems( not conducive to fast rooting clones.)there are reasons for moms. your situation doesn't need them, but some peoples do.
i have no idea what this means. i did get the part where your having trouble rooting cuts. but thats about it.Considering you could fit many cuttings underneath the same light in which you would utilize to light your Mother, I can't see a single reason to keep one.

Care to elaborate on a single reason why a Mother is required instead of fresh rounds of endless succulent cuttings?
I read it in an article in high times yrs ago.
I tried to just keep taking clones off of each new batch because i didnt want to keep a mother either but i caved because someone with alot of experience told me so.
If you guys are right then im happy to know it so thank you.
I never claimed to be a master i dont think im arjan or anything lmfao
And you said you didn't keep mother plants. And then DankFactory came in here looking to troll. Awesome set up man. very fucking cool. And thanks for the quick lesson on that root pruning. very cool.now guys come on ....you never heard of the 7 year old bonzi marijuana moms??
You can pull 25-30 cuts a month.... this is a 7 year old bonzi mom
Plant # 4 is 5 years old
Before trimming, Plant was let go... no fert added nasty looking to show how resilient marijuana really is
trimmed down to this
once a year you have to trim the root ball
and add fresh growing medium
Same plant...30 days later with new growth and cuttings just waiting to be taken
When you grow bonzi moms.... you have to take your cuttings or trim the plant once a month.... don't matter if you need the cutting or not..... you have to keep the bonzi trimmed up
you can keep a lot of strains in a small area ......look 24 different strains bonzi moms in a 2 ft x 4 ft area
im glad im not the only one who still does this then.now guys come on ....you never heard of the 7 year old bonzi marijuana moms??

He did say those were his.And you said you didn't keep mother plants. And then DankFactory came in here looking to troll. Awesome set up man. very fucking cool. And thanks for the quick lesson on that root pruning. very cool.
I keep moms. I also snap cuts off of plants before i throw plants into flower. I mean, there is no set rule here! It's all about: whatever's cleverConsidering you could fit many cuttings underneath the same light in which you would utilize to light your Mother, I can't see a single reason to keep one.

Your second point sort of conflicts with the ideology of keeping a Mother. By Mother, I mean a dedicated mother. One that someone( the naive grower) keeps because he is under the illusion that he's getting "pure" first gen genetics. Rotating vegged out plants into SOG, is just that: you're simply throwing a larger plant into SOG. The first part of your reply falls in line with the most efficient and superior method however: i.e: Take what you need from the plants you just threw into bloom. The cuttings will be thick soft fresh growth, and you're not stuck with a woody & aged dedicated Mother taking up valuable real estate in the garden.I keep moms.

One good reason to have mommas: You grow SOG, and do not veg your plants
much before flower. That is just one reason
So look: if i'm growing SOG style, and my plants are not going to be vegged large enough to snap cuts from, i keep mommas!Your second point sort of conflicts with the ideology of keeping a Mother.

Exactly. It's a pointless endeavor. Throw them in bloom, rip cuts before they start throwing pistils. Done. Nothing but an endless cycle of soft fresh cuts.That's a really kick ass set up!
I used to keep mamas, but I don't anymore. I'm in a medical state, and I grow 6 different strains in a perpetual garden. 6 mamas would mean 6 less plants I could flower. Plus, as someone mentioned above, I find that I get cuts to root faster, and ultimately be a more vigorous plant than a clone taken from a year+ old mother plant.
Bro wake up. Not every one grows the same way. Stop trolling. Go back and work on the dank factory. Quit acting like you only know the way. Its depressing.Exactly. It's a pointless endeavor. Throw them in bloom, rip cuts before they start throwing pistils. Done. Nothing but an endless cycle of soft fresh cuts.
