This guy, Crazy Composer .. made a short video about it. Amazingly talented knowledgeable and skilled grower, Thank you CC
Bonsai mums are cool, and I keep them a few weeks in 16 oz cups,
take cuts and flip after cuts are rooted.
I used to tend Bonsai mums in veg for months,
but found maintenance better with younger mums vs old crusty mums.

How old are you talking before saying the are old an crusty? Lol
I've had moms for 3+ years that would still have 95%+ clone rates while still being manageable growth wise

This plant was about 9 mounths old and only 9 inches in height.
That's a flowering plant not a mother plant for taking clones

I took many clones off her. Then decided to make some seeds.That's a flowering plant not a mother plant for taking clones

@Wretched1 here is all you need to know about bonsai moms. I have been using this method for a long time and keep my mom's in 2-3 L max.

Bonsai Mums by Oldtimer1
This article was originally written by Oldtimer1 and published in 3rd issue of Overgrow Magazine (in 2000). I think I should re-post this legendary article here… Part 1: Making, Maintaining and Renovating Bonsai Mums This Article was originally published at overgrow.com 27/6/2000. Revised and...

There were mums in my veg cab for close to a year, what I call crusty.
I held a T haze for almost ten years, cuts of cuts, before she got the chop,
now hold some S1 and various seeds of her crosses.
In my opinion, if you keep the same mum for years, more power to you.
I rotate mums to explore the variations available to me in my small grow.
In my experience, it is possible to keep bonsai mothers but always depending on the genetics. There are some that become lignified very quickly and it is difficult to take cuttings, having to renew it from time to time. Still I kept a Deep Chunk mother for over a year and a Skunk 1/Neville's haze x Uzbeka cross for almost 7 years.
Sounds like a nice room. Did you hunt your Skunk 1 from Sensi stock? I picked up a pack and hope to find something good. Only problem is I have no clue is I ever had real Skunk 1.
There's just certain genetics that you'll never get back, like my real original "thin mint" gsc
I cry every time I think about the day I lost her during a move. None of the forum cuts or new "cookies" come close. That one, my WiFi from ograskal and my Peyote Purple. 3 moms that I would have kept forever. Other genetics rotate an can be found again. Some just can't be replicated, wether it's a 1 in 10,000 pheno you found seed hunting or clone only cut.
hi mate
I can take no credit about that wonderful cross... it was a cutting given by a good friend who had the privilege to work with some of Lamanonegra's genetics (uzbeka and cantarella among them) so i don't really now if it was the sensi Skunk. Personally I have grown the sensi skunk 1 a couple of times getting just once the skunky pheno (just one seed) and the fruity one in all other plants.
Best of luck in your pheno hunt
