Cloning from a mother plant or cloning from clones which is the best way to clone or are using seeds the best way???? All so how many times can you clone from clones .or clones from the mother ?? So confused

I suggest designating one or two mother plants for your grow opperation. I have 3 mother plants that are almost 2 years old, when my mother plants start to get to old I just pick the strongest clones to take their place. I think that growing with cloned plants is the easiest and most efficient method to have a constant supply of weed. As far as cloning from a clone you could do it indefinately as long as you keep the plants healthy.

A clone is an exact copy of the mother if the mother was good then the clone will be good. That's the idea of a clone.

Yes.

If A = B, and B = C, then, by logic, A = C

Your clone # 3,456 will be identical (genetically) to your clone #1, which is identical to the original mother plant.

thanks turtle420 for the information .....I heard that clones from clones will lose strengh after awhile ....is that true or do you clone just from the mother only?? My last batch seemed to have lost it's strengh and was not as good as the one before but I did clone from those clones. I just want to know the best way to have great buds eh? REMEMBER ....A FRIEND WITH WEED IS A FRIEND INDEED

what about de-stablization of genetics with time . if i take a cutting of a cutting for 5 / 6 crops i find a tendancy (for i cant spell for shit ), for plant to become hemaphridite. or reduction in potancy and more prone to disease. i dont have these problems when taking direct from mother. taking cutting from cutting all the time is a nightmare waiting to happen.

THANKS CLEM ......I think I will start taking clones from the mother ......rather than clone from clones because they will and do lose there potancy. How long can I clone from the mother ???? 1000HPS.....how many plants under 1 light???
