cloning clones, then cloning those clones

Ok, Lets say your mother plant is A, you take some clones off her. Those clones are then B clones,veg them,clone them, you get clones C and so on and so on.

The Question is will the later clones (like clone M) be of a lesser quality than your original mother plant? Or is any clone going to me an extension of the original mother?

an older generation of growers were talking about this, i ask as my mother plant passed away and i am now cloning off of the 1st clones i ever took from her.

No, u cn clone 4 a long a$$ time b4 sumthing will happen , in fact Stinkbud dont use mother plants @ all I sugest reading his thread. A great read!
Harvest a pound every three weeks!
great info in there.
Good luck man.

thats what I guessed, but its great to hear it from someone else and i will check that thread thanks bro

yup, geneticly clone x and z are the same plant as mother a.

awesome just awesome

i dont use mothers i just clone from clones before flowering them works fine for many generations no degredation of traits i have seen if anything they seem to get stronger and more resilient.

Genetically.... they are identical, however its possible for sliiiight evoulutions. This matters because; For some reason, you need to change a major variable in your grow... if you've been growing the same way for 10 years... and cultivating cannabis in the same condition...it might make a difference. Also, clones do degrade over time... they become less "stable", weaker genetics.

That makes sence, but it must be a longtime before they degrade since people grow without mothers. Any idea how long?



or how long have you guys been going without using mothers?

i cloned a black domina clone 5 times over and it had the same output and the same quality a friend now has that plant and plans to clone it again.

i have yet to run into a problem so make some clones bro
