I guess the heading says it all.... How many mothers do I need in order to come up with 65 clones every 10 days?
Right now I have my mothers in 4" net pots on an ebb and flow table but I only need 15 new plants to go into flowering every 10 days. I veg for a month. To switch over, my clone department would have to be increased six fold. Do most of you put the mother in a bucket?

No one got back to you, huh?!? Odd...

My mums are in 7" pots, hand-watered, d2w. They're about 2' tall & bushy. Can get 30-40 per each every month to month.5. This is taking mid-shoot cuts as well... not just main tips.

You can vary considerably from this up/down depending upon size. 3 gal pots would be very easy & can get pretty big. Easiest thing to do is keep extra mums such that you always have more available than nec... then just cut the extra one back as needed... perhaps alternate them. I replace every 6 months or so too.

GL & peace.
