Input on these strains as mothers

I have ordered some seeds with the intention of growing out 2 mothers for a prepetual cycle... 2 moms just to switch up flavor since ill be smoking for a while. has anyone had success cloning any of the following:

Purple #1(Dutch Passion)
Pineapple Skunk(Humboldt Seed Org.)
Mazar X Great White Shark(UFO)
Sour Diesel #2(Humboldt Seed Org.)

i just cracked a sour d #2 that i got as a freebie from attitude. also HSO's blue dream. i wanna see whats up!

yes yes, i also got it as a freebie with my pineapple skunk seeds. ugh... i just need a couple mommys. I once before tried to clone an Oasis plant from dutch passion and it wouldnt root(due to dummy mistakes and a cheap setup) Now i went the whole nine yards, got all the cloning shiz i need and im ready to give it a real shot.

Ive been growing tons of different strains 12/12 from seed trying to get a steady supply.... its just, a damn pain. cloning seems to be where its at... right?

Well, I don't think I'm ever gonna stop buying seeds.... Always have to keep getting new shit, right?

Seeds + cloning the shit out of them right before flowering + keeping the healthiest winners = profit.

You could keep the original seed as a momma if you flower the clone as a tester, but I think that plants clone easier once they have been cloned even once before.

i like keeping the first generation around. but i really have seen no difference in the way the clones grow, except for some a-symmetrical aspects from clones of clones. try growing out all the seeds you have keeping them all as mothers, clone them, flower the clones and see what strains you prefer more for your setup and taste and whatnot. then discard the mothers that you dont like as much... then clone it up man!! you will get used to the growth patters of the strains you keep and master them. you can always buy more seeds and change your strains. but the good ones you keep around. ive had a bubbaXog that ive kept around since i first got a couple clones from the med dispensary like 5 years ago. shes my bottom bitch lol.

im curios to see wtf this humbolt seeds organisation is tryn to push. the seed took a little while to germinate( about 48 hours. i usually have them crack within a day after a 12 hour soak.) but the seedling has nice vigorous growth. im interested to see how the blue dream from HSO stacks up to the strain thats been floatin around in cali for years.

Clones wont root properly untill the plant is about 2 months old from seed right?...

I dont need monster moms... just big enough to take 4 cuttings off each of the 2 moms, root them out and toss the weaker ones before throwing the remaining(4) into the cycle.
So... 4 cuttings per mom every two weeks. Does this sound do-able? Any other advice you guys could throw my way will be taken into consideration.

I need me a very special 'bottom bitch' of my own, lol

if nothing else, you'll have your own unique crosses. you never know what you'll get from freebies. if you have a good enough male, you should get something decent at least out of hybrid vigor. it's your job to tell US how each of your gals tastes and smokes.

i like to cross everything i test with at least one male and have started collecting pollen. i have several packets of C99 x A11 frozen and will be knocking everything up with that at least on 1 bud as well as a malawi gold male. listening to DJ shorts, i'm going to stop selecting for fastest flowering males and select for slower less dominant ones. it seems counter-intuitive, but if there's better chance of higher quality, i'll try that.

once you've bred all of your gals, you'll have a better idea of which of your mom's was the best and then you can even back cross to the original mother or in between offspring if you want to select for the father's traits too. if nothing else, you'll always have genetics to start over with in an emergency.

you can clone a plant before 2 months you just wan't your plants mature before flower which takes about 2 months for preflowers.

and you can take a whole lot more then 4 clones every 2 weeks you can get up to 100 clones a month off a good strong mother plant.

I would clone a clone in less than 2 months but I'd wait for a seeded plant.

gotta keep your bitches in line!

good luck, they sound nice, Purple #1 has some fans on this site, not a fan of it myself, or most purple oriented strains since they tend to be weak. tha purps or the purps would have good potential, same for Querkle and Killing fields, if you are looking for a purple mom they would probably be better than the Purple #1 IMO.

AHHH DAMNIT.... i was looking all over online looking for advice on which purple strain to use for a mother. Wish i woulda talked to you sooner.... Thanks though.

I guess ill just grow them all out, clone them all, sample and select. Hey indicaman.. When you say The Purps or Tha purps are you talking about the one from BC? I cant remember the good The or Tha purps, My friend had some of that and it was UNREAL how potent that shit smelled. I imagine a strain like that would not be the best for a personal grower.... my carbon filter can barely keep up with my not soo stinky plants.

And speaking of carbon filters, can you take off the metal lid cap thing and re-fill it with active carbon and use it again or do you guys all buy new filters at the end of the 8 month life span or whatever it is? I guess like 150 every 9 months isnt alot to complain about, but money is money you know.. thanks

No we replace them every year or so or when they stop working. I have washed the white filter before tho.

top the fuckers and give them some growth booster, I keep mine as bonsia mums that produce around 50 cuts pr mnth


google bonsia mums and ot1.

BC bud depot is a mystery as far as breeders go. i've heard one recommendation for them, but as a seedbank, they have the worst reputation for ripping customers off. it's hard to separate the bank from the breeders. considering how badly i got ripped off by vancouver island with it's burmese which BC bud carries too i think, i'm in no hurry to buy their gear unless i see some test results here. their version of the purps sounds potentially better than the 50% afghani TH seeds one, but i'm not into gambling anymore.

if anyone has experience with their strains, please do start ANOTHER thread on it and i'll make sure to visit it. i'm pretty sure i created a thread already trying to ask about them as breeders because of their hideous rep as a bank. i know i've at least asked the question in another thread.
