Mother-Plant Health, Selection & Sizing
Keeping stock plants vegetative, vigorous, and clean — with the exact light, feed, NPK bias, and rotation targets, plus the math for how many mothers you actually need.
The mother room is your genetic bank
A mother (or 'stock') plant is a permanently vegetative plant you keep alive to harvest cuttings from. Its whole job is to produce a steady supply of healthy, uniform, disease-free cutting material — week after week, indefinitely. Treat the mother room as the bank vault of the facility: if the stock is compromised, every clone, every veg plant, and every flower room downstream inherits the problem. This is also why the workflow always moves clean → dirty: staff service mothers and propagation first, then veg, then flower — never carrying flower-room pests back to the mothers.
