ShiggityFlip: Thank you for the encouraging post! Is this a clone of a clone of a clone, years down the line? Or did you manage to keep the mother alive for 20 years?

What is your secret? Is it careful attention to environment and nutes? Did you have to make any changes as you went through generations of clones?

Clone of a clone of a clone...x100...seedling. Hee hee. I have several rules for best maintenance.
1. Keep at LEAST two copies and make sure both are healthy. Better to have four or more.
2. Never clone off a plant that is not absolutely stunning. You don't want to take a clone from a less than perfect sample. They may have damaged chromosomes from mutation. By only cloning the absolute best plants you make sure the genetics are protected as much as possible.
3. Never reveg unless last resort, and never clone off a reveg plant unless the last resort!
4. Never put something into flower without checking for healthy sisters in veg.

The mother was gone after a few months. I have not noticed any significant changes. Twister is not a top notch rooter but she never was. And her flowers this time through are looking great.
