If you had one that you felt had value, how would you keep it ?
Above and beyond simply reversing...
Always have a rooted cut before flowering
I tend to take too many cuts in case of rooting failure, then end up w/ too many plants for my space.
I just can't cull these extra plants so they go out to other gardeners. I don't ask any one to keep the strains
I pass... as shit does happen and it's not good for relationships to expect others to keep your strains safe.
Lesson learned the hard way, gotta manage your own garden.
I shut down over summer and keep only 2 'moms' ea. of my most valuable strains. I keep them pruned down
low and under just a shop light type florescent lamp to keep them growing but slowly. Around 3 months prior
to flowering cycle, I ramp up the lights to T5's and get some new vegetation going then... I can start my
cuttings for my flower run.
Currently, my absolute fave that I will do what ever is necessary to keep, came as a gift of 1 single reg seed
that luckily showed out as a female (whoop!). I've had her 3yrs. now and she has been shared extensively.
What I discovered is that not allowing moms to become root bound is crucial to their survival.
I'm kinda brutal w/ my gals though as I will pull them out of their current pot, rip about 1/3 of the roots off,
then place them back in the same size container w/ all new soil.
They aren't like house plants... they will become unhappy quickly simply giving them some food and leaving
them root bound from Apr to Nov.
That said, I am still rather inexperienced compared to so many others here but... I have learned how to
keep my keepers happy
