Don't forget that you don't have to keep a mom for a perpetual grow!I did consider that and probably will eventually do that. I'd love to have a dedicated mother plant tent for clones. But for now I'm new enough to growing that I have a long list of experiments and side by side comparisons and such to do before I get to that. Lmao. Plus to be honest I still wanna smoke my own for as long as possible without ever having to go to a dispensary (if possible), so the two tent yield is sort of super attractive to me. Ha.
Nowadays I just take some cuttings 2 weeks prior to flip (to be sure the cuts survive and root) and then once i have confidence that the clones are going to be okay i flip the donor "mom" into flower and don't have a big, weird looking plant crowding my tiny veg tent. Sometimes if it's a pheno i really really like I'll take a few more cuts after the 2 week old ones have rooted...because i feel like it LOL
