Does stress affect clones taken later?

[stingah]

Hi all,

I'm on my first grow and was wondering if the stress and damage I do now in my ignorance will affect clones taken off the plants later in their life?

Thanks,
Stingah

no, it won't have an affect. moms grow more branches. then you cut more. then they grow more. then you cut more....

Don't take clones until the source of the stress is gone and the plant is recovered.

Even so, stressing a mother plant can cause failures in DNA repair at the cut site, resulting possibly in mutations.

So your best bet is to take good care of your moms.
