clone genetics, lost quality?

Ok so i have heard from older growers that clones lose quality the more they are cloned, like you cannot clone a clone then clone that clone and so on, is that true? It seems to me that all clones are an extension of the original mother, but i don't know. My mother plant just died and i'm going to clone the first generation ones off of her. Has anyone heard of this problem?

thanks

apperently you will not lose quality for a long time is the word

i've read in two different books...
one said yes 50% of mother's quality
other said no loss at all

i figure there is a small amount but if you notice loss of quality(i doubt you will) then u can order more seeds.

If the genetics are the same why would it make a difference? I don't see how a clone would be any different from the parent. I am no scientist but to me it makes no sense.

i think over te years you may lose sme quality but not for a while
