Soil mother plants / Hydro clones?

Is the idea ---

Keeping the mother plants in soil for the whole time and then doing clones hydroponically far fetched or does no one see a problem with that?

I was thinking about doing this since I only have one hydroponic set up, and orig. didn't plan on having clones.

No input? Just trying to figure out the best way to go about it..

No issues at all.

So that would work? I just don't want to have to build another hydroponic setup, figured soil would just be easier for the mothers.

yes, probably a smart idea.

I do it all the time. No problems. It is easier to control the size of the mothers in soil, by limiting pot size.

Hydro mothers grow too fast to keep for very long. It is much better to keep the mothers in soil in a different grow area.Keep mothers and vegging in one area and flowering pots in the other for a continuous grow..

Agreed. Soil for the mother for longevity.

I know many poeple who have the mother in a wick method and the clone in rockwool ebb and flow method and had no problem

That is the way to do it, my dude.

Mothers in soil.
Take clones and put them in your hydro system
