How to maintain cuttings without mothers for a perpetual garden

Good point on the mutation...mother nature does what it wants.

SWUSAZ-great idea with grafting branches onto one mother plant. I never thought about that. I will have to do some research. Thanks.

This is a quote from subcool on Cannabis Culture:

"...My data was collected growing hundreds of strains for 30 plus years and its my opinion that genetic drift is bogus.
5 Top ten awards in 4 years would seem to confirm I am on the right track "

i have 2 daisey cloners in a box and i wish i would have just bilt one from the git go. e z cloners are the thing to get if you suck at bilding stuff or get to stoned to do eneything!!!!!

grafting is something to try if you have the space and the time but who has eney of that to spair

I am considering the grafting. If I can get one healthy and strong mom then to graft on to her would be pretty cool.

I built my own daisy cloner for about $40 but then took it apart and decided I wanted to clone in rapid rooter plugs instead on a heat mat.

Live and Learn.

here's a clone of a clone story for ya

i got permafrost from a friend who got it from the breeder (TWxsuperdank)
he said he cloned it for about 10 generations
i got it and cloned it for another 5-6 generations
we both kept monthers, but when they get too big we flowered them and started a new mother (here in oregon a 12" plant in veg is considered mature by OMMP and part of your 6 flowering, sometimes putting you over the limit)

so anyway, i gave a clone back to the friend....he gave it back to the breeder, and the breeder said it was better than the origional he had and decided to scrap his and keep going with mine. dont know what he thought was better. something must have changed or gotten better.

Oldschooltofu-thanks for the example. It's always good to hear experiences. I am curious what made it better.

I do beleive in evolution. Everything living creature evolves and plants are alive. I woudl certainly guess they evolve to strive in whatever conditions they exisist. If a plant it given optimal conditions, it can strive better and perhaps a plants original limitations are raised to a new level because of new conditions.

i dont know the breeder personally so just going by hearsay

i think that the stress caused from battling gnats may have made it stronger.

i just lost the strain due to bugs (root aphids i think), but got a good outdoor out of it...moving on to TGA strains

my avitar is permafost
