I was contemplating keeping a mother of my King Tut. I need to keep it in the house without it looking like a Picasso in the corner. Can you guys give me advice on light, smell and whatever. Prohibition state
I have, just not sure what I’m going to do. I know what I should do is to just let it go and not worry about it. At least in the situation that I’m in ya know? I said I would never get over a particular plant count well you know how that goesHave you considered the way some do perpetual growing?
Simply use the off fall or trims, from the lollypopping to root for clones.... No need to keep mothers then...
If you have a small place, you can grow a Bonsai mum, which are small mother plants. Check out my thread to see mine...I was contemplating keeping a mother of my King Tut.

Oh my gosh that’s an awesome ideaIf you have a small place, you can grow a Bonsai mum, which are small mother plants. Check out my thread to see mine...

My King Tut is from CanuckPyramid seeds king tut, is a very nice strain grew it years ago ,along with a few of there strains
How long do you keep them in solo cups don’t think it root bound pretty quicklyYou can just keep them perpetually in party cups. I do that for the majority of my keeper cuts, the odd time I'll put them into a 1gal then eventually cut clones but 99% of the time I grow them in a cup, super-crop them to generate enough branches, then clone-the-clone. I have about 20 cuts/strains going that way right now including males.

Several weeks if I don't have space to flower them. The trick is keeping them healthy, I find feeding them low ppm's every watering works when they get to a certain size. I have a couple right now that have been in cups for 8+ weeks. I clone them in an aero cloner which helps too as I have 36 slots per cloner and two cloners, 2 - 3 weeks in the cloner, 6-10 weeks in the cup, start again. I did this because I'd need a ridiculous amount of space to keep 20+ strains going otherwise, I have ~6 males on average for breeding that need to be kept for as long as I'm working the line, double that for females and that's just the breeding stock.How long do you keep them in solo cups don’t think it root bound pretty quickly
Gotcha on the root bound statement,that makes senseSeveral weeks if I don't have space to flower them.

People grow out and flower plants in party cups, they don't get root bound, they get crammed with roots and because there's little medium they need feeding or they'll die off and it'll be chalked up to being root bound.
I basically have 2, 2x3 closets.Mainlining might be an option? It's pretty much topping over a couple weeks, first cut gets you 2 main colas, then top those 2 after recovery time, now you got 4, and once more for 8 after recovery(you can go as high as 32 but it's not worth past that plus indoors 8 is your best bet) so aside from keeping the mother in check each topping gives you a clone. After you finish that you could start a clone as a new mom and throw the mainlined one into flower, the process gives you 8 main colas, is better than lollipopping while still no popcorn buds and a very nice even canopy. Idk your setup or if this is ideal but just food for thought, and munchies.
That'd be perfect for vegging a mother while mainlining it and if you eventually flower it the only branches on it are those 8 mains so you can completely fill that 2x3 by spreading it outI basically have 2, 2x3 closets.
