Cloning from clones question

Say you have two cuttings from the same mother of excellent stock in growth, but of the two one of them is on the weaker side but still grows none the less. Will cloning from the strong and weak first clones produce the same traits from them, strong clone/strong new clones same with the weak?

If you continue to clone from the weak plants you will eventually contract systemic issues that can affect the way a plant expresses its genetics.

In other words - Weaker plants can recover and flower just fine, but while sick they are prone to contracting viruses, viroids, funguses, or bacteria's and if you clone from that plant you will pass those on.

Personally, I never mess with weak plants (anymore). They allways make more work and less product.

Anyhow, that seems to be just the way it is, pot or vegis.

I have cuts from as far back as 2018 that still push high THC and big yields. I've had plants re-veg and do all sorts of weird shit like 3 leaves and they still kick ass. I don't believe genetic drift is real I believe grower drift is real. I know for a fact though if plants flip into flower at any point they seem to be genetically tarnished then on, even after 24 hour light.

How many generations ? How many mothers from the original mother have you created clones from?
