Selecting a New Keeper

[nitram]

I have been growing from clones with this 'Mum" keeper.

 

I am finding I have seemed to let her get to thin around the waist.

 

 

Now she is right up top and will be cloned from on Thursday. So, should she keep her place. I am keeping 2 strains atm.

 

 

This Is both side by side

 

This is a close up of the replacement

 

It is so tempting to put this plant to flower tbh. I'm trying to plan ahead & never give up this particular strain. It's just too fast , sturdy, bulky, sokes up well to boot.

 

I know mum's well recovered from my last round of cut taking, I do want to keep some new strains in 2006. I think I can manage 4 more at the most. But I would seriously need to brush up on 'bonzi'. Get some new lights for veging & cloning.... oh the thoughts .. rails 2x600w HSP's

 

Back to reality now.

they look like nice strains to me so i would keep them all

 

you can keep plants in really small pots for a few weeks to a few months past the time when they should have been transplanted and it does make them a hell of alot smaller than a normally grown plant...could also put them outdoors and take cuttings when needed

 

i just hate to see a strain die off so if you have the ability, i would keep it alive

Exactly why I don't want to loose her - I didn't mind mutalating her as it was for a worthy cause.

 

You see this is a mother & daughter. I was asking if this was a fine daughter to become 'Queen'. The daughter is short and has got many low branching (better for clones).

 

Genetically mum is totally stable. I have never had a hermie ....not ever

all clones showed consistant timing and yields.

 

You never know, as Thursday approaches and I take a round of clones off mum I am going to have to decide to keep the mum "as is" and look after her or look to the daughter as the "heir to the trone"........ :scratchin

well if the smaller one is just a cutting from the original mother, then i dont see any harm in replacing it :smoke

Thats what I thought! :scratchin

Thanks for the advice & I am reasuered/happy now - you get a little nervous & attached when keeping her so long. If I decide to put her to flower You will see her. today is clone day to replace 8 I fied after rooting them. 10 x mums cutts & 10 x Thai Sat's (there abouts). :smoke

Nice work mate

 

Yeah I'm with ev, keep the clone and flower the mum if you have the room.

 

Best of luck for same or better mother :thumbsup
