CLONING CAUSE DROP IN POTENCY / YIELD?

[Jdog7000]

Actually it isn't much of a difference. But if you really want to argue this point.I'm pretty sure seeds yield more. But there are so many variables!
A young seedling needs to veg for about 6 weeks to get full potencial out of the yield. So a mature seed will yield more then a clone. But clones will finish faster then the same strain grown from a clone.

i always yeilded more with clones. every single time without fail. seed scrogs 10-12oz / clone scrogs 12-14oz

[britewire]

And I always yielded more with seed... where does does leave us?

Let's agree too disagree

[latewood]

Clones yield is directly proportional to how it is grown...
How much light?..what nutes?..How much nutes?..etc...etc.

I have grown a clone to almost 3/4lb...so what. I grow a bunch and get 1/2oz per...

you guys are arguing about different things really...

Britewire says he always yields more from seed...I am sure he does.

clones do take on the age of it's mother...So, Potency/Potential for faster production of trichomes is strongly present... but, yield? It is all in how you grow.

I can tell you this is what I have experienced...I personally can flat out produce alot more from clones than seed in a period of months due to my ability to have perpetual grow...
Again, that is how I am set-up...

Another grower might have a germination factory going, but has to weed out males, and all that...Just the same, if set-up correctly both concepts can mass produce...

Everyone is different and most all grow differently... probably were taught differently...In most cases everyone is right!

As far as misinformation here...I think that information got tangled up in different growing idiology's, and personal feelings, although that wasn't anyone's intent.

It just turned into My dad can beat up Your dad.

The best part is...With all the debate; No-one cussed anyone out. See ya'll later, "I gotta go" tend the gardens. lw

PS good argument though!

[britewire]

Let's do a test.

I'm preparing a Jock Horror in Scrogg right now. One of the seedlings I'll grow and make a motherplant out of it and after this grow I'll take some clones from the mother and use those clones in the exact same setup.

We'll see what does best.

It hasn't yet, one thing that differs from the growing forum and the lounge (not the growers lounge which I love <3) is that we here have the ability to have an argument without the entanglement of resorting to a dick measuring contest.

This is why, I love the C.com growing forums.

I love you all.. and no, I'm not high.

Not yet.

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!

This grow I won't do shit because of a new strain with some unexpected length problems (VEG was too short) But I did hit the 1gr/Watt several times doing scrogg.

excellent! looks like we both know what we're doing.

when i am finished going to court for my possession charges i will start up a grow again. the 1st will be a seed scrogg obviously and then clones from the motherplant for the following grows. it will be interesting to see if i get the same results as before. we must keep in touch to compare our results.

btw, i don't consider this an arguement as much as a debate. and this is how we all learn new things and increase our knowledge of growing. the internet allows us to learn from others experiences as well as our own. growers 20 years ago would shit there pants if they could see the resources we have available today due to the internet. no hard feelings i hope brite! i actually defended you a few months back if you remember here is the thread: http://boards.cannabis.com/showthrea...353#post621353

if the results of our upcoming "experiments" prove me wrong then so be it. i don't have alot of time right now but when i get outta work i have a few good thoughts on this subject that i will post.
