as an answer to your mistaken ideas about 'clone-only' strains ... IF, for instance, you were to cross a couple plants, and get a 'very special, potent' offspring, AND they happened to be all-female, (as I frequently have), you have no choice, except to clone ... forcing a 'hermaphrodite', just to get a male for pollen, results in a 'damaged' breedline, and will usually result in 'hermies' in subsequent generations ... hermies are BAD ... crossing your females with males from another strain, results in another hybrid, not true to your original plant (which was your original desire) ... THAT is why some varieties are 'clone-only' ... it is NOT some 'secret plot' to keep the strains in California, or anywhere else, for that matter ... the famous 'G-13', for example, existed as only a male clone, but is credited with influencing many strains ... :smokin:
