Squatch -- I ran a White Widow for 4 1/2 years cloning from clones -- Designated mothers would take up too much precious room for me -- I grow under the jack boot of prohibition where they hunt us -- I can crowd **** in -- At one time I was maintaining close to 2 dozen varieties in a square meter -- I couldn't help myself -- There had been a lot of fine seed passing thru my hands and I kept a share of many -- Then they start burning a hole in your pocket needing to get wet and grow -- I'm better now -- I might as well tell U about the growers disease -- I call it VCD--Variety Chasing Disease-- It raises it's ugly head and you'll find yourself shopping at one the seed exchanges --
As to the designated mothers -- Others may have different ideas -- 2 grow areas are just a must for a continuous grow !
