As home and consumer growers, the best way to ensure consistency in our grows is to get Photoperiod seeds( regular or feminized). Start that seed and keep it as a Mother plant. I like to keep my initial Mother plant,“ From a Seed,” as my Mom!

Buy lots of seeds, Grow them, and Keep them in the Veg Stage as Moms— take Clones and Flower.
Clones— Harvest and Enjoy! If you like that variety, the next time you want it, just take another cutting from that Mother plant, and you will get the exact same bud.
Without Mothers, none of us would be here right now. Don’ t forget to Hug your Mom and say,“ Thank You!” not only on Mother’ s Day but any and every time you get the chance
Suggestion for Peace of Mind
Never take a clone from someone— it is very common and very tempting. However, it is Very Risky due to the potential for introducing Mold, Powdery Mildew, Mite Egg Sacs, and other issues into your grow. It’ s best to keep other growers’ problems out of your garden!
5. Stick into pre-soaked( with cloning solution) 1.5x1.5 stonewool cube.
6. Place plant on tray in a humidity dome, on heat pad, under light, and keep moist.

Gerry Donovan( on left), the owner of Emerald Garden Grow Supply, Raytown, MO, says,“ I am not a plant Biologist nor a Chemist. I do not have any formal cannabis plant education, as that was a non-existent thing before today’ s world. I do, however, have a passion for cannabis, which words fail to describe. I’ ve traveled throughout Europe, including
Amsterdam, Spain, and Canada, where I not only ventured into the world of seeds and genetics but also continued my quest to learn as much as I could about Growing the Plant, the many ways to utilize the plant, and observed the industry blossom as we know it today. I continue to expand my knowledge via grow seminars and cultivators’ conferences and, most importantly, through simple discussions with other growers. Over the last 22 years, I’ ve developed my own Grow Methodology through trial and error with love and passion. I hope to guide you on the pathway to enjoying the best cannabis you have ever consumed— your own homegrown!” Cannabis – Education – Wellness.
