So i have a boob question about hydro. I started a new mother plant in a 2" netpot that sits in a milk jug i spray painted black. Its doing great and i was wondering, with my setup that ill be building shortly can i keep cloning solution in the mother plants tank and when i go to clone every 2 weeks give it a spike with cloning solution to make clones root faster? My clones will veg for 3 weeks before throwing them into flower. This will be a 3 week perpetual sog grow

Milk jug? I would spend the $10 and just get a black 5 gallon buckets for your mom to live in. Cloning solution is only for you to dip fresh cuttings in to promote growth you don't put it in your water

Don't put your mother in a hydro setup. Take a cutting and start a new mother in soil.

Oh, nvm. You're not the op. I'm baked, my bad

Hydro mom's are fine. It's just a hit more harder to keep roots happy for a year or a long time that mama's are kept. Personally, all my mom's are in hydro. I haven't had a soil mom in over a year. I just take clones off my veg plants before flower, so technically, all my veg plants are mom's. Fresh mom's forever and no wasted mama room space.

Here's my next mom's. They go into flower in a week. View attachment 3594177

I don't think so. I wouldn't use the clone solution like that. The cutting imo won't root faster. Use it after you take cuttings.
