The way I do it is to take the origional seeds and plant them. Then I take a cutting from each of them and once they're rooted I flower them (cloning for sex). These clones are discarded and so are the main plants that are determined to be males. Then I have nice mother plants that have never been flowered and regenerated to take the rest of my clones from.

I have taken clones from other clones before and haven't really noticed any real drawbacks to it. I'm not a geneticist but I'm sure there would be something wrong on a genetic level but I'll leave that for someone else to explain. If the smokes good it was a success imo.

I dont like regenerating my flowered females because I always end up with bud rot on the plant matter that I leave behind to regen. I take off as much bud but if I took it all I wouldn't have much left to get the plant going again. Since I've been doing it the way I mentioned above I don't have to worry about it anymore.

Hope this helps,
Laterz
