Default How short is your mother?

All kidding and mother jokes aside.. How short do you keep your mother plants? I am looking at my current spaces and trying to decide how to configure them best. I have an area in the top of my veg cabinet that I am considering making a space soley for the mothers. How short can I keep them? How much light do I need to sustain them with out making them go nuts?

If you want short, try Bonsai.

One day I want to graft different strains to one mother and see if each new branch remains true to its original mother, to preserve genetics and reduce plant count.

Please note that you want you mothers to be "at least" two months old to fully established to pass on its genetic traits.

Hey Framster! PLEASE contribute your wisdom to the mass knowledge base we are building here:

Okay Folks, tell us how YOU pick your Mothers??

I am asking all experianced growers to contribute to this thread so we can have this available to us all. If it gets to be a good thread we can sticky it.

Hope you don't mind me hijacking your thread GG. I am not trying to take but to add, for us all.

Peace.

frankinganga that sound like you'll need a gold plated green thumb to do that but good luck and keep me in the loop if you try it ,you could attach vegging branches to plants that you have just harvested that would truly change the homegrown world i like how you think

What a great idea - I never thought of grafting that could be very cool...one plant with 6 kinds of bud on it...even cooler if you could reveg it and do it more than once....do you know where I can find more on grafting MJ...is it an established technique

some guy on another site claims he has done it

ive done it! i have a mother plant that has 5 kinds of kind on it! I took my strongest indica (grows roots like a mofo) and made small 45 degree cuts into the branches (use brainches that are big enough to cut 2-3 mm into without cutting more than halfway through. Its best to do this near the end of the branch so you can bag it later. Dip the cutting in clone solution, and slide it in. Put a wet paper towel or something similar (folded up) in a clear bag big enough to cover the branch you are cloning. Cover the branch, with the paper towel in it (so the humidity will stay constant) spray the inside of the bag with a mister. Tape or tie the bag on so its sealed, and then wrap this with shade cloth or something similar so the inside of the bag doesnt get too hot. 2-3 weeks later you can take the bag off and it should be grafted well. I did this successively so now i only have one mother.

This sounds more like air layering. He mentions nothing of adding the cutting. Or else he missed saying that.

Our Mother, who supplies 60 clones a month is less that 24 inchs tall. She is a Bushy bitch! (I prefer shaven!) But she is a good girl! Our Mom is under 24 hours of light and is 3 years old! Still growing strong!
We have tried taking clones off of vegging plant and it works but we get more roots faster off our Mom.
I remember back when we were lookin for the care of moms and we didnt find much info. We figured out that it dont take much to keep a Mom. Just feed her veg nutes and keep trimin her back! Our Mom has at least a one inch thick main stem!

Hey my friend, in my opinion, if you did a graft, the grafted section should remain true to its heritage. All its doing is using the stem as a vehicle to obtain its nutes.

When I lived in Phoenix, we had tons of orange trees. We had a problem though, turns out that when you drink tequila, you may want a piece of lemon.........so, on one tree, we had grafted on a lemon branch. The branch grew regular old lemons. Never had a lemon that tasted like an orange.
Peace
