Took me a little bit (not too long) to get my head around clone vs. beans. But I think one way to think of it is YOU are a product of your mother and father. If you could fuck yourself you wouldn't make another you. Similarly fucking your partner further dilutes your parent's genes and fucking your sister can bring about unwanted outcomes.

Thus you need to clone until the strain is stable enough that seeds can be produced that will yield the same results.

I live in Cali and no we are not "like a little country" we ARE a big country. And as anyone in this subforum knows, strain names really don't mean shit even at dispensaries, because so many breeders have the "same" strain with different genetics. So truth be told, name actually doesn't really mean anything except to the enthusiasts.
