Well I want to get rid of all my soil once and for all, so can someone point me in the right direction to keep a few moms around with no soil. What would everyone suggest. Also I want to get about 40 clones every 3 months or so. How many mothers you think I will need to house? Thanks in advance. | ||

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | I would suggest a bubbling bucket. I use them for my mothers. They are rather easy to build (and cheap too). Search for 'bubbler' or 'bubbling buckets' you'll find many threads. Are you taking all 40 clones at once or taking a few every week or so? I don't know how many you need. I guess it might depend on how big you take them too. ![]()

A lot of folks over here keep them in waterfarms too. One mother should supply 40 clones in 3 months, if you train it over, it will produce many tops. If the mother gets too big, keep a couple of smaller plants ![]() San ![]() | ||

If you want all 40 cuttings at the same time you'll need more than one mother.I'd put two mothers in a Flo-gro 510(a nutriculture product,I'm unsure whether they're available in the States though.)Or alternatively like san said a couple of aquafarms would do the trick.Try to keep your mothers very wide and not taller than 3 feet for the best results. All the best, dev ![]()
