This will be a long term, multiple grow, multiple strain grow journal. She's going to be a long ride.
Well, it's time to start thinking about finding a few mother plants and cutting clones instead of growing from seed like I have been for the past few years.
I like growing from seed and being able to try different strains all the time, but although you have a general idea what each strain is going to be like, you don't know for sure if your particular pack of 4 or 5 seeds is going to have an absolute fire pheno. I find that usually I only get 1 or 2 plants per grow that I would even consider keeping as a mother plant. Sometimes I don't get anything I would consider growing again.
Growing the way I have, there have been quite a few very good phenos slip through my fingers into non-existence that I wish I would've kept around. So this grow and all future grows from seed will be pheno hunts. If I find something I like, I will keep a mother plant. Ideally, I would like to have 3 or 4 good mothers on hand. This is a hunt that could take 2–3 years or longer.
I am going to keep all of my seedlings to be my potential mothers and cut clones from them to grow out. This is definitely not the quickest way to pheno hunt, but I want to see how each strain reacts to cloning as part of my hunt. No point keeping a mother plant of a strain that doesn't clone well.
