Female/ Cloning Question

[john84]

I bought 5 feminized LSD seeds from Attitude about a week ago, they should be arriving soon I just had a quick question involving taking clones. I know that stressing plants grown from feminized seeds can cause them to hermie, so I was wondering if after taking cuttings from a mother I should get rid of the mother because it will have been stressed from the cuttings and have gone hermie? Or is the mother likely to stay fully female as long as I don't take too many cuttings at once? Any advice/info would be greatly appreciated.

You can take cuttings from a plant without causing extreme stress to it. Just don't rape the plant of all grow tips and you'll be fine.

Id say the answer is no. Keep the mother until it shows signs of hermi-ing (if at all). It's most likely not gonna hurt it.

Why not just hold back one of you clones - to continue the genetic line - and flower the mother plant? Taking successive generations of clones is the proper way to ensure the genetics aren't degraded.
