i keep my mother plants for about 1 year then flower them... i like to change variety so i always keep 3 mothers for 1 year ..when i decide to flower them i trim them back ALOT... till only few big branches stay.. the plant doesnt look all that at first but once it begins its flowering it produces MANY VERY BIG buds!!!
if you have any questions on flowering mothers just let me know...
peace

Did you use mother plant nutrients? if so did you switch to regular flowering nutes?
I have been using mother plant nutrients for vegging and now I want to flower them using dyna gro. Will this affect my bud size? Thanks

Hi
Usually the nutrients for mothers are made to maintain the moms with a low N,
If you use it (Such as "Mother Earth" ) for Veging your main grow the plants won't grow as fast or as big as with a proper Veg food.

A trick I learned: The 12 hrs dark is needed to start the bloom cycle.
I keep my Moms under 6 and 6, that is 12 light and 12 night, but 6 hrs dark does not trigger the bloom cycle, moms grow a bit slower but enough for my needs.
save me a bit on my Elec bill.
Good luck
