Rep Power: 45 | | How old a mother plant needs to be to make clones
A lot of you must know that :
Can a seed grow big enough to make clones at 10 weeks ?
How many clones could it give? (indica)

You will be ok with a mother after 4-6 weeks from seed, she will have plenty of branches that will be "clonable"
How many clones? Well that will depend on the strain, as you say it is Indica, so it will be bushier than Sativas, but if you need more than 20-30 clones per batch I would suggest to top your plant and she will be much bushier
Peace

If there are 10 sites to take a clone from you might not want to take all 10 at once. You might take 6, wait a week and take from the other 4 sites + maybe another couple if it has recovered enough.

I think about plant memory more than plant size. Have you ever taken a cut & had it start over @ 1-3 blade leaves? That is because the plant didn't have enough memory (super simplified). Adds a lot of extra grow time and makes for a more stretched looking plant (when the food leaves drop). I like to have at least a 5 blade leaf w/ a leaf index in the mid 30's minimum for a new start. Leaf index is easy to figure: Count the serrations on 1 side of the leaf, double it and add 1 for the tip.

I'll start my first batch with clones I'll buy from a friend.
But for the second batch, 9-10 weeks later, I want to grow a one-cola strain for best results cause I'll do something like a sog.
So throughout that 10 week period, I'll start mothers from feminized seeds, to have them all ready for cutting clones off them 2 weeks before it's their time for them to flower, get it? to give them 2 weeks growth then bam
So since I want to flower clones that are all the same age in growth , I wonder how much clones I can cut off an 8 week mother plant at the same time; so I can plan on the number of mothers to grow..
I wouldn't start flowering clones every 2 weeks, like cutting clones every 2 weeks, because if I did, the first 3 batches of clones (6 weeks) wouldn't fit under the flowering lamps that would be still occupied by the first harvest.
Does someone get what I'm saying?
How much clones per 8 week mother?
Or what else could i do

sayyou did 8 the first week, 8 the next, and kept doing that for 8 weeks, by the time your space is totally filled, the first 8 you put in are ripe enough to harvest. So figure what the flowering time is for the breed, 8 weeks, 10 weeks, then divide your space by that number of plants you can fit in there. Add that number every week, so by the time you can't fit more in, the first are ready to be harvested, and then you put your next lot in.
You are talking of a perpetual harvest. So to find out how many mothers you will need, first figure out how many plants you will need per week by the size of your space, divided by weeks. and go from there......
Good luck
