I have tried cloning but i'm not very good at it. the plants that did develop roots took 3 or 4 weeks and a lot of care to do so.growing from seed was just as fast for me but as I said i'm not very good at cloning. might work better if I learned a better way of doing it.

try a EZ cloner.
they are SO much easier than a dome
spend a good 80 bucks on one, and you are golden
I get roots in less than ten days off most, and they are ready to transplant in about 15 days, with a good sized root mass at that point.
but 90% of my grows are clones, I am collecting a group of special genetics, and once I am finished it's ALL clones.
Seeds are a PITA.

Should i start from scratch or should i get a clone ? Not sure about how this works but i wanted the most of each plant .

I've read that in using a clone that you are starting with a mature plant. Because you are 'starting' with a mature plant it can be set to flower almost immediately, keeping in mind that depending on the size of plant affects the number of cola's you'll end up with.

I'm not quite sure what your question is. Right now I have a clone I started that is a couple of inches tall. If I flipped it to flower I'd get a couple of colas because there are a couple of branches. If I let the plant mature it would grow more branches which would provide additional cola's. Be warned that you are conversing with a newbie that is going to posting a question regarding my clone (on a different matter) when I have more time. Hope that gives you some clarity.

Only been growing for a few months now, haven't even made it to my 4th week of flower yet, and I gotta say the weed growing community fucking sucks big hairy donkey balls. I thought we were supposed to all be "medicated", seems like every fucking grower on earth needs to get a lil high off their own supply. This petty argument bullsh is in EVERY fucking thread. Not just here either, I see it on Reddit/r/microgrowery and /r/autoflowers /r/herbgrow, ICmag, 420 magazine, Growweedeasy etc.

Yea, yea I know, "fuck off newbie", well I am. Peace ya'll and have a good night.

Conflict is the highway to learning. Disagreement sparks debate and and either side posts e ammo to prove rightness. This is how real reaserched facts hit the table and believe it or not, its the best tool for you to acquire knowledge on the site. When i started id just poke everyone with sticks. Then theyd get mad and post a whole bunch of info and charts and shit. I think its the best way to research. :):):)

don't exceed HALF the available amperage.
if you have a 15 amp circuit, don't run more than 7 or 8 hundred watts.
20 amps? no more than 1100.
always design your extensions, and surge protectors to be on the WALL or ceiling rather than the floor.
have redundant catchs for any water leaks.
Avoid playing with lighters after Mexican food.

I agree with the clone vs. plant potency issue. And I usually run clones, but of the couple handfulls of seeds ive run, i thought that the seeds out produce the clones by a bit every time. They always seem just a bit more vigorous than the clones to me. But that might just be me.

Taproot.

A proven clone will generally produce better than random seeds, but a clone will never produce as much or grow as vigorously as the seed moms they came from.

So growing from a seed is easier?

for me it's a lot easier. I use paper towel germination and good quality feminized seeds from ILGM and nirvana and have almost 100% germination.seeds are showing 3 or 4 sets of leaves by time clones show roots. but like I said my cloning skills are not good and only a few clippings ever develop roots
