After one growing season the plants with the genetics which allowed them to grow the strongest would pass on their genes to the next generation. In the next growing season the plants which sprout would resemble the strongest plants who successfully passed on the most genetics. That is adaptation to the environment. The reason your clones are doing better is because you have learned to take care of them better. The clones are exactly the same genteically you have just become a better grower. They have not adapted to the environment you have improved your growing methods. If you took 1000 ww seeds and planted them outdoors they would eventually adapt over several growing seasons.
THANK YOU!!!

This LRT guy is a joke...

They dont get it, a clone is a clone is a clone is a clone, always the same...
