Whats the point of cloning?

[Hennessy1414]

Why would you clone a female plant? If you take off a clone and plant it wont you just lose the branch on the female plant that you cut off? It seems to me its just breaking up your plant into different areas of your grow room. Please tell me if i'm wrong.

Yeah.

Cloning enables you to start off with a mature plant/cutting, from genetics you already know are good, with certainty of female.
Mother plants are for taking cuttings... don't worry, it's a weed.

Clones are superior to seeds.
1.They are guaranteed females.
2.They only require vegging for a month or so.
3.The final product is known.

With seeds.
1.Maybe 50/50 females(wasted light,time,space)
2.Require 3 Months to reach maturity(wasted light,time)
3.They may turn out crap(wasted light,time,space,hopes,dreams)

clones are great because when you get a mother plant from a seed, all ready to flower in vegetative state, you'll want to keep it always in veg and just grow and flower the clones, so you could actually have an endless supply of female plants ready to flower of that certain strain

are the clones as big as seeded plants?

Only if you feed them aspirin when the 3rd and 7th moons of Jupiter are aligned, and the Spice Girls are back together.

If not, clones are bigger than seeded plants by... aprox 1.36%

he's just being sarcastic.
There's no way to make that comparison. a seed starts out 1/8 inch while a clone starts out about 6 inches. But they grow at the same preprogrammed genetic rate.

na son im askin is do you get just as much bud from a clone as you would from a seeded plant?

The same if not more. If you take a clone and veg it for 3 months you'll have a giant.
If you grow a seed for 3 months you'll have an average plant.
On the same size plant they would yield the same(+-for genetics). But the clone would take much less time to get there.
