There are several individuals here that have kept one particular plant for over 10 years, through cuttings and mothers. Let’s see if we can get a list going and see who has had what the longest, how long you’ve kept one particular mother before replacing with a new clone. Maybe share some tips for how you’ve been successful.
16 years ago, I kept one particular bonsai mother for about a year and a half, did root pruning and regular feedings. Then I got hit with spider mites for the first time. After that, I had a few different strains, but replaced the mothers instead of root pruning. Had those strains for almost two years, then My grow buddy got busted. A bad heat wave that summer fried my mothers when I was away for a weekend (someone thought they were saving power and turned off ac when we were gone) and I no longer had anyone with back up cuts. I didn’t start back up again till this summer.
I had a master kush x white widow aka MasterWidow i got from the original OG.put out the thickest hardest dense blizzard buds.Had her for 6years till me and the wife split up and she told me she was gonna call the cops.So i had to get rid of everything asap.If not for that i would still have her.I swapped her out yearly …Grew her in a 10 gallon pot as i was constantly taking cutting for SOG
I would have to mostly credit dumb luck for mine. Been since, man, I think 1998-or 99. I just can’t remember the actual date. Sorry.
I have done mine by keeping a mother very long term, then whenever the mood struck me, I replaced her with another clone. I really haven’t done anything special. It’s been out of pure need, I really had no way of ever replacing it over the years …so I had no choice but make it work…hahaha
I have used 1.5 gallon dirt pots since I began.
@Seamonkey84 this plant has been thru spider mites, thirps (I think that’s them), and most recently, that led to my room build, was a my entire flowering room got wiped out by what I thought was moths, but turned out to be white flys. When that happened over the spring, I lost everything but one single mom plant that I keep in the bedroom…and I started all over again with her. Now thow I have new genetics I am sexing right now, so no idea what the future holds…but I did build a mother room, for long term mother’s, can house between 50-75 of them. Not sure I’d ever have that many, but…haha
Wow, yea I know you’ve been through a flood recently, glad to hear that you still have the strain! That revenging plant you pulled from your yard def shows how resistant it is!
Wow, forgot about the flood already…
Damn, life comes fast doesn’t?
Yea, I can’t believe that October ended already and we’re in Nov.
If I am not mistake the original Cali O clone is still alive. Since 1982 I believe.
