Mighty Mite mother possible?

Hey, Would creating a indefinate Mighty Mite mother be possible?
eg. If I germed some mighty mite seeds and then had them under veg for several months(4 months+) would they have auto flowered as they do outdoors (being done outdoors in August) or would they still be in veg so I could clone after 4 months?

I understand that they dont get that big, so the vegging would most likely be under flourescents on a timer for the 4+ months.

I've never worked with it before, and anyone I've talked to went from seed-> bud and no cloning or mothers were made.

Thanks

it can be done, you just have to fuck with their minds to keep them vegging.

Thanks :laughing: how do I manage that? going away for several months as stated, when I come back I'd like to see some nice mothers waiting to be cloned.
Someone will be looking after them.
Would 18/6 on flourescents with straight water no/little nutes do any good?

I have heard there is a full auto phenotype. That one could not be mommed but the others can. Just keep 24/7 light on them.

Or maybe try 24 on/4 off? Do some searching here. I remember a post from a long time ago, where someone had some success.Good luck!

Kinda hard to set a regular timer to do that.

thanks for the replies. I found a pretty good post located here:
http://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=61733&highlight=mighty+mite+mother
A poster in that thread found that they autoflower when under 24hrs and that the best for vegging is 18/6 or 20/4. And said for plants not to become rootbound, from personaly exerience I have noticed this too.
we'l see how it goes.
If they autoflower under 24 hours of light that means they will flower under any light cycle under that. So therefore you cant keep a mom if it is autoflower.

Ah,ok. yea that totally went over my head when I was typing the previous post. Maybe it would be safest to take clones from them as they grow.
Or cross the strain, or just not grow it at all.

you can try fucking with their heads by wonking the light schedule wierd time, try 6/8/6/8 or something like that on them. sometimes it will work.

If anything, it'd involve some sort of abnormal light cycles like that. I know you can keep moms using only 12 hours light, just by doing 6/6/6/6, because what triggers flowering is 12~ uninterrupted hours of darkness.
 
This is not possible I'm afraid to say.Even the folks who created it in the gulf Islands of BC only ever kept it in seed form.Many BC'ers have tried,myself included.

Hmmm..so best bet...let them flower out and let the males pollinate the females for more seed?
Thats disappointing to hear, but I suppose for that sacrifice, you are rewarded with that earler finish. thanks.

Honestly if that is the case then you should maybe try another fast outdoor finishing strain like early girl or any of the early strains. And i have heard nothing but good things about diesel ryder and have grown Master Low numerous times and love the flavor if you are looking for an af.

i just keep a 250 watt on 24-0 and feed i have more females like that .i did do 18-6 and had more males so if it ant broke do not fix it.i only get 1-2 males out of 3 packs of seed.
