I have heard that taking clones from flowering plants produce higher yielding mutations any truth to this?

Ok this is what I've done I took 3 cuttings from my strawnana sundae kept one as a mom and flowering the other two. Now I've taken 5 cuttings from the mom and now gonna flower the mom and keep a new mom from the 5 cuttings. Then repeat the process again take more cuttings keep a mom and flower when I cut a new mom. This way is easier especially if you don't have much space my veg area is just the height and width I need before I put into flower. Keeping a mother would mean constant trimming and work to keep it within my small veg area.
I have heard that people say it's not good to do this generation after generation it weakens genetics in the plants I will see for myself I guess.

I keep a bonsai mom or 2... when I get tired of looking at her I root a clone and move on... my moms are younger but my partners keep there’s for about 18 months or so...let her grow out chop her down... repeatedly...
The may just start flowering the moms and take a cut just Incase she’s the one.. I need 3 different varieties x 3 = 9 : 1 gallon pots...just for the sake of variety

Cheese is a good example the original cut is 30 years old its lost vigour a bit but still has the magic left you can clone from a clone alot just over time its gonna loose vigour and possibly one day just give up like g13 did with shanti but that depends on how stable your gentics where to begin with id imagine that limits somewhat how long a clone only cut lasts

So I guess its all down to genetics some strains you can keep cloning while others might lose strength and general health. This is what I wanted know I plan on doing this with my favourite strains to keep them I can keep four moms easy that I will be put into flower after a month to six weeks.

This is the info I wanted to hear not someone just talking without any scientific experiment or proof to back it up. I'm gonna keep cloning the clones and maybe I might have this strawnana sundae in 30 years like yours depending if its a good strain for re-cloning.
Thanx for the info man appreciated
