some of my leaves are curling up. is this normal?My humidity stays between 40%-60% on average. I see it go lower when I run my A/C during the Summer and higher when it rains in the Winter.
Are your cuttings wilting? Like I say, I've never even had a cutting wilt.
You will sometimes see the lower older leaves die off but the top new growth should always look strong.
There are a ton of posts here 500+ pages of them, but this sentence of your main post really got me. Do you not have mothers? I can see how you can just take cuttings from your veg before you put it into flower and never actually need mother plants. If this is what you mean, and I'm not confused somehow I'd gladly appreciate more information on this technique.3) I take my cutting from my veg plants. This way I can run 10 different strains without having to keep 10 mother plants.
No mothers, that's correctDo you not have mothers? I can see how you can just take cuttings from your veg before you put it into flower and never actually need mother plants. If this is what you mean, and I'm not confused somehow I'd gladly appreciate more information on this technique.
The cuttings should never go bad genetically. They will be as healthy and viable as the veg plant they were cut from. You should be able to keep cloning the cloned clones infinitely. I know people that have kept a strain alive for years through cloning this way.Do your cuttings slowly go bad genetically? How long can you keep cloning your cloned clones?
I'm drawing a blank on the name, and I feel like there's one already out there.I've never heard of this and searched google for weeks maybe months for an answer. what would you even call this? Re-cloning? motherless grow? clone-cloning? mom-cuttings? clone-veg-clone? Someone come up with a name for this please!
Use the "Search Thread" button above, at the top of the threads on each page on the right side.Anyone help me out, on what page the smaller versions of the cloner/veg/flower.
Thanks everyone

I got it!!!! Infinite motherless re-cloning grow, or IMRC Grow, for short WOOT!
Hi Tiger, Thank you for the reply! I am in Michigan and I am running a heater right now just to keep it at 70 - 75. My humidity has been running 40% - 50%. I am running CFLs in the clone/veg tent right now. I will upgrade down the road but for now I am trying to keep energy bill down and thought that a MH would create to much heat in the tent. I only have the clone/veg tent up right now because the room is tight with the other tent setup and I wanted to have some work space to build the rest of the system. The tent is setup with an airbox and exhaust fan outside of the tent that is vented right back in the room. I did it this way to try to get the most out of my CO2 (which isn't here yet). Hopefully my odor will be in check with it setup that way. The tent has a bunch of lower vents so negative pressure is a bit tough just shy of taping all the vent flaps down.Petersonscott79- love the name bro! Cloner temps can be on the high side 81-83(clones like it warm) is good I've found humidity haven't played a factor. Veger, veg plants has a wider range 72-83 is fine, humdity 40-60%. Flower is where you need to show most of your concern 72-78 max humidty bout the same as veg but you might wanna drop it late in flower unless you have a mold resistant strain.

Skot57- light is right! Id recommend 1000 watters(penetration). Get the best reflector you can afford really like my magnums xxxls. Only get a cooltube if your not able to keep your temps in check(but you'll have the temps in check anyway right?)Enviroment is key lights,ventilation,temps and ph are the upmost evrything else is secondary.
EVERYONE check out stinkbuddies.com, most friendly helpful place around and all these question and anything you can think of is there.
Peace and Good vibes!
take cuttings from a strain before you bud, keeping at least one plant of the strain, make clones of that one before you bud it,repeat, repeatIm a newbie here but not a newb to growing MJ. In the beginning of the thread stinkbud says he cuts clones from his veg plants so he can have different strains and not keep mothers. I was wondering how this is possible because it seems at some point you would need mothers to keep a strain going while others were being vegged and flowered. If anyone can explain this to me I would greatly appreciate it.
thanks for the reply but how could you use the method you just described and keep 10 different strains going.ya, what stink is talking about is having two rooms to start with. instead of keeping the same plant in your veg room for your mother plant you would take some of the smaller less developed site for clones. when you take those clones you put the "mothers" (the plants you just took clones from), into the flower room. then your clones stay in your veg room and become, well, essentailly they become yo0ur new mothers. so veg,take clones, veg the clones, flower the mothers, then take clones from the clones and flowers the clones you took clones from. lmao im drunk. hope that made sense.
