kind of a crazy question.But all things being equal the clone cause it will be second generation and so on.Mature plants are always going to produce a better product.You can pull a clone from a 3 month old plant and flip it straight into flower and it will be straight.flipping seedlings into flower will not be as good a product.Seed allows you to pheno hunt particular traits in plants you want to keep for clones but just growing all the time from seed would be silly

Seeds are more vigorous than a clone.

No. I healthy clone taken from a healthy plant and given proper care will grow as vigorously, or more so, than it’s seed run.
If a growers clones gradually “degrade” with each round of cuts, it is due to accumulated stress.

i have heard that you should never disregard a plant from seed until you have also run clones, as sometimes clones will express different phenotypical traits than the seed plant, but i would much rather buy a clone from someone who has done the work hunting thru seeds than hunt them myself, assuming the vendor can be trusted

My experience has been no difference that I could notice in the finished product.
I have also never noticed any degradation from clones.
In fairness I've only ran the same Clones a few years.
Maybe if you reach decades or disease it can happen. I can't speak to that though.
Also I'm not disputing anything.
It is very possible these differences were so subtle I simply couldn't see it.

So do you keep moms from seed or you take clones from the seed and choose the best plants after flower?

I grow the seeds out and clone when they show sex. Find my fave plant/s, clone those. I repeat this process till I have a few rad expressions of a few diff strains. I don't keep moms. When I move on from a strain, I repeat the process till I have something I want to keep around again.

You should, id imagine, get better and more consistent results from a clone.
But seeds have a tap root so maybe better suited for guerrilla grows???
Id say clones are better suited to indoor cash croppers and seeds are better for us "hobby growers". Its nice to grow a different strain often.

I think it’s more growers preference some growers like getting the seeds tap root to explode all the way down the pot like auto flowers and some like clones to skip the sensitivity of seedlings I can’t decide by the two so I do both cheers!

I just bought some Tangerine. Lots of mixed revues on quality and phenos and hard to grow by the sounds of it.
Any more info on it from your perspective? pics even when ur able?

Good clones come from keepers, no searching needed.
Good clones are, well, clones. No underperformers, no surprise sex, uniform ripening, growth etc, as well as uniform final product, Those are dealbreakers when absent in growing high-quality herb.
The citrusy strains are popular as they evoke a hard wired addiction response to the flavour.

Which is difficult to prevent over time.
Longest I've made it was 5 generations, but my environment is challenging.
Then there's the issue of pheno hunting, one must clone all females from seed then clone the shit out of the keeper.
Very time consuming, and space wasting.
This is why I avoid strains with 3 or more listed phenotypes.
