i agree.. seeds are the way to go.. if you get a ten pack of seeds, you may find one or two plants that just outperform the others, or have a phenotype that has what you are looking for from the strain, better yeild, stronger smoke, color, whatever it maybe..
in clones, your only getting one set of genes.. whatever the mother had, your also gonna have.. and also with clones, unless you grew out the mother plant, your not going to know much about them..
i like to grow from seed, and if i find a plant that i like, i can always take clones off of her and keep the genetics going..
