i know , i only want the best smoke for a strain

the genetics DO NOT change when you take a cutting. it just doesn't happen. a cutting is an EXACT replica of the mother plant. 
it's not even "true" cloning. true cloning, you take a piece of DNA and grow it. marijuana cloning is simply "rooting a branch". this is not "true" cloning.

the gentics of seeds from a plant will exihibit a vast difference in phenotypes.
I think thats what he meant FDD

yes , that's why I want mass clones before I get rid of a mom because I don't want a mom that's any older then 1 year and I want mass clones so that when I make seeds I can have a mass amount of seeds to germ and pick out the best plants from thoes seeds

You could accomplish the same thing from one big plants worth of seeds ya know.
A plant will yeild alot of seed.
And having and finding room to a Flower 71 clones to maturity and pollinate is ridiculous, and b) You qill most likely get every single possible phenotype out of just one plants worth of seeds.
Because then you are talking of growing out THOUSANDS of seeds, which is a ridiculous task unto itself.

284 clones thanks , and I wouldn't be doing them all at once because I want a certin male plant for a certin female thus selective breeding (right word?)

- A fully pollinated Cannabis plant full of mature seeds is often 50% seed, measured by weight of the harvested/dried plant. I Can really only think of one reason someone would want to grow that many plants, and its not for seeds, lol.
- Once again, GanjaGoddess is completely correct! I am starting to lose track of how many times I've said that on this forum. You will be able to get plenty of seeds from one plant. If its a large outdoor plant you could get 1000's, potentially. Even in your greenhouses you could get hundreds off of one decent sized plant, if you let it get completely pollinated. There would be examples of every possible pheno present as well, so there is no reason to grow that many plants for seed. Like I said, you can get a plant to be 50% seeds if you do it right. You don't need that many plants unless you are growing for profit. I guess potentially you could be planning on starting your own seed company. that'd be cool
- Maybe I'm missing something. why do you think you need so many clones? I'm also wondering about your plan for harvesting 284 clones from one mother? Surely you don't mean all at once, right?

oh no no no, I'll do it over the corse of a month but none the less not at once
The reason why I want alot of clones of 1 plant is because I want to create diffrent kinds of seeds , I'm gonna try to get my hands on at least 30 diffrent srains to mess around with to make diffrent seeds.
I don't care for profits , if I make the money back from it what I put in its all good and I want to chose the best moms of each strain before I do the seeds producing thing and I'm not going any bigger then a 1 foot plant. I do smoke a bit here and there with my friend but I took it up because I've always wanted to since I was 16 but never realy looked into it and my friend told me if I grow for him he'll buy it off of me and I do wanna do a SOG harvest style

30 females, 30 males should be sufficient.
Only thing is the new strains you make have to be inbred back 4 or 5 generations to stabilize the phenotype

inbred is taking a male from the F1 and breeding it with the parent plant that creaited the F1 ?
30 males and 30 females for 27+ stains when I'm done wouldn't cut it

For sure, your business of your plan for breeding is your own.
just remeber to stabilize your pheno's if you intend to say this seed will make this type of plant.

FDDTBLK, your definition of cloning is a bit off re growing DNA. My body grows DNA constantly. Northwestern Bio dictionary, clone="...group of genetically identical cells or individuals derived by asexual division from a common ancestor..." 2. coll. "Individual formed by some asexual process..., identical to its parent..." Just keeping it real bro. No offense but having slaved studing this stuff, my former proff would smack me down driving around definitions like that.
