all i have done is found what stress make my plants grow the best.
has anyone ever done a study on stress not what cause it but whats inside a plant that controls it.

The genes are what controlls the plants ability (or lack of ability) to handle stress.
Google 'selective breeding', or click here for an overview of the subject.
thanks. so what i got from that reading is that my plants are not stronger im just keeping a stable enviroment in which allows my plants to grow better.
and that my clones dont have the ability to change and keep up with constant changes in my enviroment thus making them weaker than seeds.
but with a stable enviroment the clones will grow the same as a plant from seed.
so the reason im having good results from my clones is the stable enviroment not the cloning of bigger clones or best looking.
will plants from seeds grow faster or yeild better than clones grown in a stable enviroment?
Generally people prefer clones because you can harvest quicker from them. A healthy clone can pretty much go strait to flower, then you're already alteast 3 weeks ahead...
IMO
Seeds grow more vigorously, but do need time to become sexually mature ie ready to flower, plus Seedlings need to be sexed.
Where as a clone is known sex and is already mature, One can actually root under 12-12 so by the time the cutting is ready to pot, it's already done pre-flowering.

when you have the cutting on 12/12 do they still try to bud while growing roots or do they stop everything and grow roots
As with most techniques, there's a "hurry up-n-grow" technique, then there's proper technique. Best to learn proper techniques, and then learn to take shortcuts that won't cut into your final yield.
Best to root 'em under 18/6 till there's happy-n-healthy new foliar growth at the very least, before switching to 12/12. Otherwise stunting is the likely result. (much lower yields)
I said it could be done,.... not that it SHOULD.
I prefer to give em at least 2 weeks after they've rooted and have been potted before going 12/12
