Uneven canopy question

I understand how easy it is to get an uneven canopy when growing from seed, but if I make a mother out of the strongest plant, and only use clones from her wouldn't it stand to reason that all the clones would grow at roughly the same rate and produce a fairly even canopy? My logic says yes, but I know there is always more to the story than what I originally think of.

using the same mother should result in approximately the same size plants....iffffffff, the clones are the same height when planted.

You would think, but not exactly.

Depends on many things. Exactly which part of the mother you take the cuttings from is one factor that has a great deal to do with many things such as root development, time to root, etc. Search about how to take cuttings.

Also simple things can have effects, such as where in the cloner the cutting was, or where in the grow the plant is positioned.
