ICMag with help from Landrace Warden and The Vault is running a NEW contest in November! You can check it here. Prizes are seeds & forum premium access. Come join in!
Yes... and if you take 50% more cuttings than you need and select only the best... you can keep genetics for 20+ years like a lot of breeders have done.
The 'genetic mutation' from radiation in the environment is negligible and so far, hasn't presented a problem. So.. it's nothing to worry about.
Stay Safe!

Found it! This is one of the best threads on IC IMO.
I understand what you're saying, but cannabis is not TMNT. The slight stop codon damage a plant may experience is not really going to affect the genetics much, if they even experience it. While all living things are exposed to and experience radiation/mutation the amount of exposure a pampered indoor mom gets is minimal to nill.
I've even heard that cells can only divide so many times for an organism in a lifetime, yet there are stands of pines in Australia that reproduce primarily from clone and 200+ acres of pine can be clones of the same tree from 5,000 + years ago. I doubt cannabis has the same staying properties, but I'm willing to bet it goes past five years.
Now, I'm not saying you're wrong. I agree mutation can happen the lifetime of an organism and not just from reproduction, I just think the sky is not falling.

Great thread!
Here's an example of how Autos can be used in conjunction with a photo vege cab.
Those four plants up front are autos being run their whole life in 32 oz cups as part of a competition on another site. The two on the left are a personal cross of MI5 x Bad Betty and the two on the right are chronic ryders... Wait, what's that peeking out from behind them?
Why it's five fresh bonsai moms!
These cuts were all taken from my last photo grow where I flowered out a bunch of new genetics from seeds and took a clone of each just in case. Some of these will be released into the wild while others will be kept for future grows.

I use T-8s. They are identical to the T-5s except that they have
a smaller diameter. (i.e. T-8s are "slimmer")

Shit....well, I have "the skinny ones"....
I also thought that the "standard size", as seen at school and work, is the T-5.
Other than that, I am lost.

P.S. Yup....I am full of it. See here
I think that I am using T-8s and that T-12s are the standard here.
....but check me on this!!! :0)

you do know there is a easier way to make a bonsai ?
I was one of the first to bonsai a cannabis
all you need to do is cut 1/2 deep slits in the rim of the planter and tie your braches off and pull the strings into the slits
simple and easy ... I did a skunk #1 and it was a true Bonsai
the good thing about this way . is your can tighten or loosen the strings as you want... works great ...
when you want it too flower remove the strings

Heres two plants. they are both from the outdoors garden earlier this summer. first one is a kickass bonsai book every gardener should get.
second one is a reveging sativa lady.
third one is a pepper plant called goats weed. This one had furry leafs and hot ass purple peppers. this one is in a 4x4 inch pot. I just trim it every so often.
