How long can you keep a mother

[bozo81]

Can’t find anything on here about how long you can keep a mother plant going without loosing potency. Have genetics that have been cloned from clone a heap of times. According to the interweb some say a strain will loose potency after being kept for too long. Any real experience would be appreciated

Keep the mom healthy and you'll have healthy clones ,,

 

When you hear shit about mothers losing potency or vigour etc it will likely be coz the mother was not at its healthiest

When clones were taken.Or the clones ended up unwell.

 

The longer the mum is in a small pot the more roots she'll develop and the need to pot up.

 

Works well to run the mum two or three times taking cuttings , then save a strong cutting to become the new mother.

 

This way you can keep the strain going for long long time ,,,I had shiva shanti going thirteen years ,,hope that's enough real experience for you.

 

 

All the same genes ,,keep them healthy And you'll have no problems.

If you're just starting out, I wouldnt worry.

You will cycle some mums until you find good stuff.
