I've never grown from clone
If I picked up a clone that was already rooted a good amount, how much faster would it be compared to seed?
3 - 4 weeks
o very nice, I guess next time I'll just pick up a clone from the clubs instead of starting from seed
what are the benefits of starting with seed?
Actually its better to grow from clones than from seedsQuote:

Once you have a good clone/strain....you will never need a seed again:thumbsup: You will just pull more clones from your clone:D
sweet thx for the info:jointsmile:
Clones rock, I think it is a lot harder to kill a clone opposed to a seedling.
Clones do rock, but from seed will yield the most. Genetic splicing...
But if I plant 20 clones and 20 seeds, I bet I would get more from the clones when it is all said and done.
Genetic splicing....ha, prove it.
given the same amount of days, if the clones are faster by 3-4 weeks then the clones would yield moreQuote:

plants started indoors,pre-sexed then moved outdoors may 1. will yeild a lot more,even if clones have a month head start.indoors clones is the only way to go.
All said and done...clones are easy. I use them because to grow from seed, you would have to know the sex and that takes a lot of time (which we don't have). Yes clones are the way to go for a perpetual garden. You will always get more from the plant grown from seed then down the line.
*I know there are feminized seeds but they don't always prove to be stable and female.
Isn't the term "genetic drift" what you're talking about?Quote:
