CLONING CAUSE DROP IN POTENCY / YIELD?

[The Grim Reefer]

Oh god.. so confused.

3 people saying 3 different things.

Interesting thread

We agree too disagree?

i have noticed on these forums that newer growers that don't really know what they are talking about seem to like to post misleading information. i am not talking about anyone in particular now just a generalization. people just need to be careful not to post misinformation as this could be very detrimental to people looking for correct answers to there questions. we must remember that newbies will tend to take all our answers as fact without question. bottom line.... don't answer a question that you are not 100% sure of the answer from your own experience. there are enough people on these forum that someone will have some experience with almost everything to do with growing. i know everyone is just trying to help but we must be careful of what we post. i have misread posts and answered incorrectly myself, but i will always happily be corrected if that is the case. nobaody can be right all the time, we are all still learning as well. that's why i say don't answer unless you are completely sure on the info you will be posting.

I sure you're wrong

The main thing about old clones is the wierd leaf tweeks and twisted inperfections. After a few years they start to get a leaf here or there that is messed up looking. But the buds are good.Once you see these inperfections you need a new mom.

[britewire]

But you do agree that motherplants always yeild more?

[justaseed]

no, clones are more mature hence yeild more, higher quality bud. it is a simple fact. ask around and almost everyone will say the same. think about it for your own grows. don't the yeilds and quality get better every grow? i always got better yeilds and better quality bud from clones than i did from the original seed plant.

[britewire]

Hahaha...

Sorry but now I have my doubt about your growing experiance and quality's

[justaseed]

oh really, i got anywhere from 12-14 oz from my 400hps grow. how much do you get? you can ask around this forum if you don't think i know how to grow!

and here is a link to my old scrog thread.

this illistrates the kind of experience i have. i am no expert but i know what i'm doing! just because you don't agree with me you are gonna start saying i don't know what i'm doing! the funny thing is you are not even right. ask around and people will tell you quality and yeild increase with maturity. how can a seed plant that was "born" say, 4 weeks ago even hope to compete with a clone that was taken the time as the seed plant sprouted from a 6 month old mother. the seed plant would probably just be showing sex(maybe) and the nodes probably would not even be alternating yet so if put to 12/12 you would get a good yeild but not what you would get from the clone that would be much bigger and have had it's nodes alternating since it rooted hence being much more mature and able to produce more, higher quality bud. do you see my point now?
