Do you eventually need to clone mother plants?

Continual cloning of the same plant will eventually lead to inferior plants, but this does take some time. That is - growing a plant, cloning it, growing a plant, cloning it, growing a plant cloning it etc, etc, this can only be done so many times before the clones eventually lose vigour and potency. But yes, new clones become new mother plants, as sooner or later, the original mother plants will need to be flowered or discarded. Cheers, Organoman.

Yeah, you will end up flowering your mother plant or eventually it will become rootbound. But remember, a clipping can become a new mother plant, with 100% the same genetics, so it's a circle of life and you never need seeds again :)

At some point yeah you know you end up flowering it. Or you just keep trimming her down. I assume people make a new mother plant. It keeps that genetic going so. You whatever you need to do if you have a prized pheno.
