No replies in Newbie Central so trying here. Thanks in advance for any experienced opinions...

Alot of conflicting info online so putting it to RIU...

Can you continously takes clones from clones or should you stop after 3 generations to perserve genetics or whatever???

My personal belief as I've been taking clones off of clones for the last 4 years now of the same White Widow I got one seed of back when, is that it all depends on how well you take care of your plants. If they get stressed to high hell, and abused then I bet the genetics will deteriorate possibly in direct relation to the amount of abuse. It may also depend on the specific genetics that are being worked with. There are many growers that have been working with the same strain for 10 plus years, and I have to imagine those plants are more then 3 generations old. I've also watched a fellow grower have their genetics go to shit because they got stressed so bad over a short period of time.

LST is exactly what its called, "low stress" training. If you are LSTing correctly there is no reason that it should stress your plants to the point of causing any kind of issue that I can see.
