Just doing a drive by.. And had to chime in my 2 cents. Mother plants... I end up cloning the clone of the clone and so forth. But from the little reading I've done over the years,, they say to real keep genetics alive in the form of a mother plant,, I 'hear' it's best to keep a mother that has never flowered. And to take cuts and keep the mother alive without ever flowering it. Pot plants will mutate after awhile. Least I know this as a fact. Like 6-7'th cloning, I've had some strains get wierd. But you can keep a mother plant growing with anywhere from the standard 16/8 to 24/0. But plants need abit of dark cycle. Plants grow at night,, they spend all day doing photosystesis making sugars and grow with them at night. I use to go lay out on the ground in this barn I use to grow in, at night, and you can actually hear them grow..

you do need to be careful though if thinking about working with any pollen, it doesn't take much at all, remember water will kill any active pollen so if you are really worried about your plants turning to seed you could always foliar drench your plants with water before moving them over to flower and should not have any issues
