Start of week 3. Day 21 This is my first grow and I have a 1200x1200 main room and a 300x1200 veg attached to the side of the main tent. I am using 4X Sugar Black Rose normal seeds found in a bag I smoked. I have 1X 1500 watt LED with seperate blue/red dinners so I’m running about 70% blue power and 30% red. The 2 plants on the middle unfortunately got pulled from the pots by a sneaky animal during early days hence slower growth and all plants got hit by a flash storm and took a hit as well as the soil being soaked so they have taken a while to bounce back. I have given them the first set of nutes from a line called Goliath. A half dose this week the. Next week onto the normal schedule. The idea is to keep 2 of these as mothers for clones and flower any other females (if I’m that lucky) the mothers will stay in soil yet clones will be in coco. I’ll have one level in the 300x1200 section for mothers and the other level to propagate. The main 1200x1200 for flower eventually using that also for veg and buying a larger flower room although this setup will do to start. Is 300x1200 enough to keep 2X mothers? Can you see anything else I can improve on? I’m doing this to document my own grow but also take tips and learn from this community! Thanks.

Is 1x1 enough to keep mothers happy? Or 1x2 would be maximum. Are these spaces too small?

You can keep it however small you like.. 1x1 being about the smallest I’d do.. You’re just restricting your ability to take a decent quantity of cuts at anytime. Depends what your end game is. If you’re trying to take a few dozen cuts all at once.. this won’t work. But if you want a clone or two here and there it’s fine. You will, however, have to continually prune and keep it cut down to size. Ultimately, I’d recommend a bit larger size. I run 8-12 in a 4x8 and it works well. I can take a dozen or so clones from any one at a time. Keeping moms just takes a little different shift in maintenance / mentality compared to vegging out plants for flower. I run low lights on them and keep containers smaller so they grow slower. Nutrients at a minimum. But it’s a fine line because you want them healthy enough to take clones.

Hi, How much longer should I keep these in veg before flipping? I’m at about week 5 from seed yet I think I have a few weeks to go before moving to fruit tent. Should I be getting rid of some large fan leaves to create room for light? Any tips appreciated. Thanks

If you get rid of the chonkers that are blocking light to inner nodes, you'll start developing a nice even canopy. Also, if you haven't topped it yet, I suggest you do so soon. That's another way to make the inner and lower branches try to catch up to the top of the plant and add even more to the top canopy. As far as flipping to flower goes, that's up to you. If you do what I suggested, top and defoliate, you'll want to wait a few weeks to a month before you flip them into flower. I hope this helps.

Hi all. I’m on my first grow and I have these lower branches on each of my plants and I do not think they will be sufficient in creating buds as they are behind the rest of my canopy and most likely are draining energy. Should I cull them and can they be used as clones? Thanks

I'd chop them off, personally. But, I like to really lollipop my plants. Take a look at my outdoor grow. I'm ScrOGing and removed almost all of the foliage underneath the canopy, along with all the branches that weren't going to make it close to the canopy. Not a single one of my plants were stressed to the point of turning into a hermaphrodite and they are all making fat nugs. I hope this helps.

@GrowingGrannie, Thanks again GG!! I’ve done many years of research and have grown 1 plant outdoors in my life but this is my first real attempt at full indoor grows and keeping mothers! I’m sure it’ll all turn out for the best! Wishing you all the best also

@@T_Dub, thanks for the positivity! I’ll set 2 for flower in 3 to 4 weeks so let’s see how this first run turns out then things can be tweaked! Cheers

Sorry but if the clones are from the male plant then they will be male also I would get fresh feminized seeds and start again happy growing
