I am a person that likes to grow from seed because (A) you know what your geting 100% every time a good quality strong plant.
I have taken clones before and have had good success but i found the consistancy of the quailty of the growing plant and the yeild would suffer as opposed to a plant from seed.
Now i'm no expert and i found this paragraph which again makes me thinks growing from seed is better. I'm gutted because i have some really expensive seeds which i would like to clone so i'm open to opinions and advice are clones as big a plant/yeild as the same plant grown from seed?
Seeds:
Advantages
Seeds obtained from reputable seed banks are of known lineage and genetics. You should have a reasonable idea of what the strain will do in terms of yield, quality and flowering time.
Hybrid vigor. Females grown from seed are often higher yielding than clones. Strains can lose their vigor over time; growers may want to 'rejuvinate' their grow with the same successful strain.
