maybe, maybe not.
i have never seen much of a difference between clones and seeds yield wise myself.a clone is is a cutting off of a mature verified strain and sexed plant, so you pretty much know up front what your getting without issues. guys in the know were cloning way before most even know what it was. over the last 30+ years, ive seen seeds "sexed" before by "experienced" guys and guaranteed to be females, and ive also seen a large failure rate ( 50/50 +/-) determining the sex by seed selection alone. there really as far as i know isnt a reliable way to "sex" seeds, unless the plants been "feminized"....generally, plants are "feminized" by cloning them (females) and then spraying them with a silver solution, which essentially "shocks" them and prevents them from developing as males. seeds from those plants will only produce female plants, hence they are "feminized".

as far as growing clones outdoors, ive gown seed and clones side by side ourtdoors , and never had any issues whatsoever. actually, ive had the clones come out stronger in my experience. ive also grown the same way indoors, and in a greenhouse and in those cases, same thing.......


its all 6 one, half dozen the other. everyones got their own ways and opinions.

tell you what bro. this march, ill grow clones and you grow seeds, and take pictures,ect and document everything and we can see how they come out and post pix and results here. ill even wait to get my clones until you get your seedlings up to about 6-8" or so...it would be an interesting experiment
