You dont make a mother plant , you chose one. you get a clone of a desired strain (or fem seed, strong pheno)and keep it in veg only. lst and top it as much as possible soo you get more tops to clone.

Any you could recommend I just Google it and basically tieing the main shoot lower so the plant makes the other shoots grow more is lst and removing the main stem is topping it funny thing is I google it and it brought me onto rollitup

Honestly Id suggest looking into organics. Teaming with microbes I hear is a good good book for it. I understand it a little more in depth than just adding nutes but well worth it.

you do know if you are going to use "her" a lot and for a long time -- there is a special formula for mother plants, might want to look into it

No I'm only going to use her twice then start another strain I'm trying my luck I ordered 4 seeds off pick n mix seeds. female lemon kush , vision ak49 , speed black domina x black domina and vision russian snow all female so two harvests then ill try different again I dnt smoke much so a good crop will last a long time and hopefully I'll have some good weed to smoke

I'm already on my seedling the shell and stem is just poking through the top of the soil so later tonite I'm going to sit her under a 75watt cfl and let her grow before putting her under a hps in a tent

There's lots of ways...2015 style...put cfl light on the dresser that is in the master bedroom(plants like the climate in there and a bonus is all the Co2 we exhale snoring away)now take a 1-2 gallon nursery pot and mix a 50/50...buy your favorite seed put it on in the soil...wait 30 days and take a few cuts about ever 2 weeks or so...

So here she is about 3 days old and just growing out of the soil she looks healthy I'm going to wait until the leaves look proper then put her into a tent with a 400hps light and let her grow :bigjoint:

running her under a 400HPS anytime in the next few weeks will not only be hard on her but an unnecessary expenditure of electricity. she really needs to be under a T5 or some CFLs at this early stage. good luck on your grow.

She's under a 75watt cfl at the moment I dnt want to buy an led light as I'm not gna be using it much maybe once every 6 months when I want to grow a new strain would u suggest another 75watt cfl to let her grow a few inches before putting her under a hps ??

i'd keep her under that cfl for a few weeks and once she starts getting bigger, and you decide on who to keep as a mother, then add your other 75 watt to her.
