Been cloning from clones on one strain for close to four years!! I can't tell any difference and there is no reason to keep mothers if your grow system is set up for not keeping mothers! You can even take clones from you flowering plants a week or two into flower! It will take them a little longer to start vegging again! It just depends on your system!!

This hasn't effected size potency weight at all?? Um assuming not or you probably wouldn't do it....thanks

I want to know about this too, you wouldnt have any evidence of the cloned clones growing really well, and harvesting high quality, big buds

Can you keep cloning cloned plants
Yes, lots of people do it this way.
....what will it effect
People ask this question all the time, the answer is - nothing! What most people fail to understand is that every new batch of clones isn't a "Biological Generation" (where input from male and female combine to produce a "Blended" offspring). What you are actually dealing with is "parts" of the same plant, growing to maturity, over and over again. Unless you do something dreadfully wrong; "the same plant" will remain unchanged,even as more and more cuttings are taken and grown to maturity.
and why keep a mother
For personal growers, it's purely a matter of choice. For "Big Time" growers, it's a matter of having a dependable supply of potential clones, in adaquate numbers, on hand at all times. This is really only possible with "Mothers" because they're grown and trained a little differently. To make a long story short - A properly groomed mother can produce a lot of clones at one time.

Old Dude has it right. I'm growing out some KSG now that is F13 for me. Means the plants now flowering
are the thirteenth generation of that specific DNA being cloned over and over. I know it is counter-intuitive
to believe that clones do not suffer a drop-off in quality over the generations.
