Clone only don't exist?

I don't really know anything about Super Thrive but it seems unlikely to me that it would cause undue stress. Isn't it just like vitamins and hormones? Maybe over-use causes stress? I don't know about that one.... I'm sure it's true though that stressing flowering plants can cause them to hermie. What was it you thought was bullshit?

I just thought "clone only strains" couldn't seed. But apparently they can. So the name "clone only" is in fact slightly bullshit.

Clone only is a special pheno that came from seed. Can't buy pure seeds of it unless they are s1 which is created by using sts or colloidal silver.

What does one do with colloidal silver?

except most s1 seeds aren't created by "hermying" a plant out, but rather by spraying said plant with a chemical such as collodial sliver, which prevents the plant from producing ethylyne, the chemical needed for female, pistilllite, flower production, and the plant instead grows male, stamenate, flowers.

Wow, great info!

Can you do the opposite? And stop male flower production?

Clone.onlys can definitely make seeds. Its just that usually with a cut titled clone only it is a rare pheno that turned out real good.
M.o.b. is a clone only that is a good.example. when it was first poking its head around it was an amazing bud, great look, smell, taste , potency and.yield all with an outdoor finish of late August up here in maine.

Now that its been years people have lost their mothers and decided to self or cross the.strain.to keep the genetics (also there are a couple banks that have selfed it for public sale). But now I can't.even find cuts that resemble the.original clone only except for smell/taste somewhat.

The reason.being that when people sprouted their seeds they didn't or couldn't find the.same pheno as that perfect original. Some strains you could sprout hundreds of seeds and not find that beautiful pheno that your looking for.

Hope that clears it up for you somewhat.

Not really, you are not going to get the exact same plant in just 5 fem seeds their are still a whole lot of recessive traits in a polly hybrid. But you can definitely make seeds but the herm traits seem to be mighty strong in some shit after all they all have some stupid story of found a couple seeds in dank bud so OG, GSC and GG#4 are product of hermaphrodites a few generations on some of those Cookies from what I heard.

Also a lot of misinformation from legal growers this one guy gets back from Oregon with a bunch of seeds saying that the lights produced them. Lol, Actually the plants through nanners and they are trying to sound like better growers than they are. Lol, It's cool though people want true females true sensi buds they won't go to the bigger guys.

I dont have a say on these since i just like popping seeds and find different smoke in my own garden. As i would understand the conversation its is like a guy met a woman and got married and bare a child, that child may look more like the other way or both, he/she may look preetier than the parents. But never be the exact same of any. Shit!!! Just toke some crazy fire
Edited:
Even the clone may change a tad but carries the same dna, its like u were born in one country but grew up in another continent, speaks/accents, appearance will change....etc.

Bottom line is...even if you have a ton of seeds you will have no chance of having the exact dna of the parents, but since thats a plant and im No scientist i am not pretty sure. Fortunately its a plant you might get the same everything from the parents without having to play with dna, I know for a fact that 1% dna if u compare apes and humans speaks a lot of differene.

No the isn't bullshit it just means you can only get that cultivar as a clone only. There are no pure seeds of it out.

Makes a female plant grow balls of pollen to make feminized seeds. This is how the clone only cultivars are crossed. This process is widely used to make fem seeds. Lots of flack on fems but they are just ass good as regs IMHO when made with the right parents.

So usually clone only means it was a special or rare phenotype that even if there are seeds is still more desirable than the seeds of it, example : gorilla glue#4, the original is the best, from what I seen S1's and crosses are comparable but not as good as the original, so people want the original that plant is a clone only.

Exactly but just to add a lil more to it you can't get a clone only in seeds pure. It will always be crossed with something unless it's an s1. Hence clone only. Some crosses that are made are turned into clone only cus the breeder stops making seeds of it or loses parents. Also something could be created better than a clone only if the right parents are breed with it. White Fire OG is a perfect one two clone only elites crossed to make a new elite. Seeds of that won't be made to much longer watch
