propagating this season's plants for next season

last time i had some decent bag seed. it turned out ok. this time i got some real quality seeds- some semi-stabilized master kush and granddaddy purp crossbreed- and i want to be able to grow 'em again in case i can't get any more of them. the problem is i don't have a very big space to do all this in; i don't have much of a place to put either a mother plant or a stud. i could try to grow a male plant out in the wilderness somewhere, but that's iffy. what would you do in a situation like this?

thanks, RM

shameful self-bump

so the only solution y'all can think of is to make one of them turn into a hermaphrodite? i must say i don't like the sound of that. could he take a branch off the nicest one, once they flower, and clone it in that closet after the rest of them get harvested? or would it be too late to do it past that point?

Grow a few small plants under CFLs in the closet. Build a little rubber-maid box or something small and use replacement HEPA filters over the intake/outake (as long as they are rated to remove pollen from the air). Take a cutting or two from each plant, get them established with roots in your little rubber-maid, put them under 12/12 with CFLs and... hope you have both a male and female clone start to flower or read up on using colloidal silver if you get at least one female. Can dump the ones in the closet if they get too big and you don't need much light or space for the little clones, just need to give them enough to live, flower, and produce seeds.
