BigKuntry said:How am I supposed to know which is good mother plant if I'm not supposed to take clippings after flowering has started. Isn't this kind of like the chicken and the egg?
The Hemp Goddess said:Where did you get the idea that you should not take cuttings after flowering has started? Many, many people clone cuttings that are taken after the plant has been put into flowering. It generally takes the clones a bit longer to flower is all.
Ime, taking cuttings in veg they root faster but I like to take mine in flower. You get a bushy cutting when they are taken in flower ime.i was under that impression that u should really also only clone during veg as it might cause stressing
.."perfect" B'luv...BuddyLuv said:I just take a clone from each potential mother. When they are finished flowering and I can make whatever cutting I want into a mother. I just determine which plant gave me the best smoke and yeild. It gets confusing which are which so I tag them just to be sure. Then I just throw the others out.
IMO, it is easier to clone a cutting like HICK and BUDDYLUV suggested for a potential mother than it is to try to risk revegging. I have lost several great phenos carrying them to "death" in flower, then trying to reveg.JBonez said:exactly what i will be doing, got 4 possible mother plants, gonna reveg the plant that gives the best smoke, yield and ease of growth.

The question from the poster is how to determine which plant is your mother plant.andy52 said:i can not understand why anyone would want to take cuttings from a plant in veg,when they do nolt even know what the sex is yet.i personally like to grow female plants.also like to take clones from well established females.why is this even an issue?lol its a simple thing to me,female plants make buds.
