Thread: Mother plant: Best from seed or fine from clone?

  1. Default Answered: Mother plant: Best from seed or fine from clone?

    Heya,

    I have 3 healthy plants grown from seed which I'd like to put into flower, however the plan was to keep 1 of them as a mother plant. Running low on weed... need a big 3-plant grow.

    I'm new to taking cuttings but I have 6 clones now...

    Am I missing a trick putting my 3 plants into flower and turning a cutting into a mother or is it fine as they are only second generation? I remember reading there is no issue until the 10th generation of clones if ever?

    Thanks!

    Bamm

    Heya M_C Hope your well.

    Hrm I'm not sure about that advice, figure if they are in flower they will continue to put vital energy into flowers rather than new root growth.

    Thankfully I won't need to worry, for the first time in 10 years of growing I've started rooting everything I remove from my plants, I often top my plants to make them bush out and now I've got like 30 plants, 24 from a strain that I no longer want to grow so going to start having to kill plants ahh!

    Been cloning them under a 23w LED bulb and had 100% success so far. Why didnt I start 10 years ago!
