Mother Soil? Thoughts?

Kind of an open-ended question, but what are some soil mixes or soil recipes you guys use to provide good metabolic coverage for mother plants for a good period of time? Great feeding recipes for mother plants are also accepted!

I use liquid nutrients for everything. When I keep a mother plant I usually slow roll it, low power lighting and just a little stronger than seedling level nutes. Just enough to keep them healthy. Otherwise I find I have to do frequent pruning since growth can/will outpace my cutting/cloning needs.

I would look into slow release feeds if your planning on keeping a mother you can get or make certain mixes that will keep her fed though i will say these are more for outdoor plants alot of indoor growers will use liquid nutrients as its better controlled with coco and other inert elements. best of luck buddy :)

I’d mix soil and or coco. With some perlite, worm casings coffee, dimaceus earth and ash. That’s the mix I use for everything and it works great! There are other people that use other type of rocks but I have not used them and tbh my results with perlite are more than good. Gl happy growing:)
