Where's Turtle ? This is his cue to jump in break it up lol
Sure Zandor I will write one up for you all. Gimme a few days.
Let me shine some light on the cloning / age issue.
This was first discovered when Dolly the sheep was cloned and it opened new insight into the genetics of cloning....
When a clone is taken, the exact genetic copy is made.
Dolly the sheep was made from cells taken from a 6 year old mother sheep. Sheeps live to be about 12.
Dolly the sheep lived bright happy and healthy for 6 years...or....ONE HALF the average life span.
When finding out why Dolly and all other cloned animals were dieing at one half the age of normal life expectancy, research began.
It was then discovered that as cells age, genetic strands are lost each time a cell duplicates. So when the cells are originally harvested from the mother, they are AGED CELLS.
Dolly the cloned sheep lived 6 years....or....exactly the same age as her orignal cells should have lived. And did.
So if a horse lives to an average of 20 years, and you clone from the mother at age 15 years, the resulting cloned horse will only live about 5 years.
Taking clones and making them mothers and then cloning those, etc....will weaken the gene pool as the clones age per the original genes, regardless of the age of the clones.
This is why if you are young, or have kids, TAKE AND PRESERVE DNA SAMPLES NOW. The younger the better.
As for tomato plants, clones from clones from clones, will have exaggerated declines in potency. If super strong tomatos, it will be difficult to notice....however, rest assured the age is still tied back to the originating source no matter what or when and the genes continue the inevitable decline.

But how does taking a clone from a clone from a clone [[from a clone ]xn ] reduce the genetic vigour/potency of a strain?
Dolly lived 6 years untill her death because she inherited her mothers immediate age and condition. If a clone was to be taken from Dolly when dolly was 3 years old, the clone would be expected to die in 3 years time along with Dolly and the original mother.
I can only assume that Cannabis plants loose potency with age . Would a clone taken from a 7 year old skunk tree be as strong as as a clone taken from the same skunk tree when it was 1 year old? No ...Surely it would be weaker,as the mother from which the clone was cut would have have lost some zap with age..
How then does taking a clone from a clone,and so on "accelerate" the decline of phenotypic strength in the progeny over the generations?
I'm sure I'm missing something radically significant...
Seriously guys what is a CFL?? Canadian Football League ??
Turtle power!
Does this mean our genes have our time of death written in them? This is an interesting topic.Quote:

for example Salvia Divinorum rarely sets seed in the wild. Its branches break off and find moist earth and grow roots naturally. Most of the plants alive in circulation today are from clones taken in the 60's. Are they less powerfull??? I wouldn't know that but I do have some leaf that contains 3.5 to 4 mg of slavinorin per gram.
also there are trees that are the oldest life form on the planet.
