Bananas all come from clones from the same plant for roughly 60+ years from the Cavendish variety we have now. But the old gross Michael variety they cloned for a hundred years or more if I'm not mistaken. They only lost the clone because fungus disease but not due to age.

The Joshua tree in California is like 10,000 years old and still alive.

Plants can last a while.

Don’t forget methuselah, the bristlecone Pine that’s possibly the oldest living thing on earth.

I’ve been running Grape Ape, and Sherbet, for at least five years.

Man the OG Kush, Chem and few of the others I still hear and see people growing....

But Grape Ape, that isn't something that is often discussed on here, at least not that I have noticed. Thanks for the walk down memory lane as I had forgotten about her!

Can someone give me a quick rundown how to keep a cut going forever without getting too big?

I have a biscotti clone I paid a nice penny for and I want to keep it. Just take a clone off the mom, flower the mom, let the clone grow, take a clone, flower that precious clone once its too big, forever?

Dig it out every 4/6 months prune the roots back and cut back the foliage to the lowest nodes, doing that 10 years should be relatively simple.

There's a technique to preserve mother plants its worth researching if you are planning to keep it indefinitely.
apparently if you keep taking clones for a new mother their clones are less vigorous through time?

Cheese is 30 odd romulan is possibly 50 if its the original old cut i bet theres some less known ones that are out there that are pretty damn old it aint easy but some people manage id say its just maintaining general health keeping a good clean environment feeding organically and keeping f**kups to a minimum also be wary of the other cuts you let in your garden if you keeping long term mums cos you all know how that can go plus backups in seed ideally and cuts its always best to have both imo cos you never know what can happen

I found an article a while back about how to keep a bonsai mom, I actually did it in a red solo cup for a while, I’ll try to find it and some pics.

dis is coco, but at the time we were either using the Canna nute line, or had already switched over to the Front Row Ag nutes, which in veg is only getting the A and B.

with the Canna line it was (a different brand cal mag cause they didn’t have it) cal mag, A, B, Rhizotonic, and Cannazym, but we don’t use that shit anymore.

I don’t know how much it has to do with our nutes, different phenos of the same strains I’ve ran had nastier looking roots but that could be due to that plant not being at optimum condition and not liking how I was treating it or it was the pheno blah blah blah I don’t know what I’m talking about

R2 has been held in Atlantic Canada over 20 years. I’ve grown it for a few years and it’s potency is hard to match. The smell late in flower is stronger than Headbanger, Insane Seed Posse IC91, Bohdi Space Monkey just to give you an idea.

From my experience it takes about 3 to 4 years before the genetic is being "watered down". That may be 10 generations down.

You especially lose vigour in veg. Cheers!
