clones over time will yield more as you can get more cycles in a year by avoiding the germination and seedling stages.
Clones can generally go right into flower.

I have seen some clones lose some vigor after years and years but I have grown both outside and have had great results with either. Just the advantage with clones you know what sex they are before wasting any time and materials.

Check out this Romica ( Romulan x Flodica ) outdoors in california from seed. With a month to go no doubt....and figure end harvest in the POUNDS !

from what I've seen, clones tend to be smaller than the parent (possibly just from being put into flowering earlier than normal) ... anyway, that alone, would lessen yield ...

S&H, that's a gorgeous plant !!! :thumbsup:

my personal opinion....completely depends on how long you veg the plant. You can veg a plant to the size that you want and then put it into flower. Just keep in mind, that out of ten seeds, you COULD get anywhere from 1 - 10 female plants, where as with clones you have 10 - 10 chance of having a female since it is identical to the one you took it from. So it boils down to just a couple of things, 1) do you want to worry about sexing the plant 2) does the veg time really matter all that much to you? 3) do you really care how many of your plants will end up being male?

Now with that being said, if your only choice is to order seeds and then grow your kinda stuck with what you get, but if you get to know "someone" REALLY well, i'm sure they could get you a female plant and you can take off from there. Its all a personal choice.

Seeds and clones produce exactly the same amount of weed in my experience. You can have a plant from seed produce 8 oz, or you can have that plant produce 10 lb. Same with a cloned plant. Depends on how long you veg.

Overall using only clones in your grow you can produce a much larger yearly yield, as opposed to using seeds. It eliminates the need for a bunch of steps.
