Sigh.... With a plant count, keeping clones is a frustrating task. If you find one cut you love and want to grow over and over, great. But if you want to play the field and try new strains, you just can't keep the last fav around for long. One, maybe. Two, that's the max. After that, you are sacrificing seed pops and the males will keep you to a min count in the flower tent.
It would be great if the plant count applied only to flowering plants, but a 5 foot mom in veg counts the same as a three day youngling in my state.
Sucks, but no moms in my garden.
