To clone or not to clone. That is the question.

I stopped cloning over a year ago. The reason why. Seeds are so easy and cheap to get nowadays why bother with the cloning, and all the headaches associated with it. Back in the day all you had was bag seed. You'd grow sum bag seeds seperate the females, keep a mother plant and clone off of her. But now you don't need a mother plant or any clones. I sow my seeds to soil in 3-4 days they sprout with in 2 weeks I'm exactly where a clone would have grown to. Don't get me wrong there are advantages with clones, they have the maturity of the mother being one. You know the phenotype of the clone from the mother. The question. in today's world of seed banks is cloning something we could all do away with?

Can't bear the thought of that "once in a life time" pheno being lost. Clones are cheap, easy & you know for sure what your getting.... seed s cheap, I don't think so. Seed s are fun though .... like a box of chocolate.

I only use seeds when I'm growing a new strain. After I have a good plant I take cuttings.

Its free, you know if you got a good pheno, quicker to grow and you know exactly what you are getting but if you like a mystery its up to you.

Seeds are a hassle what with the slow growth, pulling males, choosing a good mother. I only start from seed if I want a new strain.

I love cloning.. I take some every week.. much easier IMO.

Cloning is way better, seeds are too much of a pain in the ass.
