clones

for sure you can do that, as you can copy a copy. but like with copies, the quality of the clones will decrease with the number of clones been maid. but that can go for a long time, some claim that they grow from clones of clones since 5 or 6 years. so if you do it for like 3 years you should be more then fine and save a pile of money on good seeds

Yes.

Clone mothers can be kept alive for years if you keep your lighting schdule on at 18 hours or greater.

I only like to keep a mother for 8 weeks before raising another from one of her clones. I don't like my mothers to get too fucked up, plus an 8 week veg' from seed will give excellent results when you flower.

it won't hurt your mother plant too much if you take clones from her every few weeks since she will continue to grow and patch to lost branches and twicks. so this practise won't fuck her up if you cut smart and give her time to recover. so you maactually keep 2 or 3 clones of her along as moter plants to reduce the stress n a single mother and be able to take more clones. how does that sound to you?

i'm just experiencing this one. very nice. big thick stems. nice open bush. buds everywhere.

I don't just cut from anywhere either... it's top, top, top all the way. She gave me over 60 clones before I put her into flower. I can't even count the bud sights.
