MOTHER PLANTS

[Mama Cass]

I'd like to keep several strains on the go to reduce the "tolerance" problems some.

 

My question:

 

Can I keep different mother plant strains under the same light or do they need to be separated.

 

Grew 2 strains together once, all feminised and all turned male and was told that was because mixing strains was a no no (why?), BUT what about the mothers?

 

 

Thanks

keep all plants together in the veg stage , it's only when you alter the lighting ie ... reduce the daylight hours plants show sex .. then they must be seperated .

Great! Thanks guys!

 

Now lets see if I can at least keep a mother going even if I can't grow the stuff!! At least I'll save on seeds!!!

Why would you need to separate different strains when flowering?

Is it supposed to induce hermies or something?

has anyone ever tried grafting different strains to one mother?

Yeah I was checking out some threads on this site last night.. aparently it's possible but I still am yet to see any pics.. Mostly people were talking about grafting several strains on one plant to flower but obviously with different flowering times that would be frought with issues.. but i sure would like to have a mum out the back with half a dozen strains on her back..

SO HOW FAR APART DO THE GIRLS NEED TO BE?

heya Justjuli =), to keep mothers properly, you need a seperate area, old cupboards painted flat white inside and with ventilation rigged up are ideal, can keep 4 or so Mothers in there, then ya have either outdoor grows and use the mums clones, or use the clones to grow under lights. The Mothers don't need heaps of light, so a 130W CFL globe in the Bluer spectrum 14,000K will do nicely.

You can also use the same area to get ya clones ready........ Have a read in Cannaversity, there is some awesome info on Mothers and setting up grow area, click the Cannaversity logo below and it will take you there. =)
