I would imagine that a lot of clone only strains are not flowered out and cloned constantly, more than likely a mother is kept when available. I would also imagine that most people that have clone only strains are keeping them in near ideal conditions to help insure the survival of that strain, and not constantly flowering it and risking the clones not growing well.dman1234 said:i have been clonning the same strain for 18 months, maybe 6 or 7
generations and as i get better so does the smoke, im sure ppl have
done much more than that, what about clone only strains.

That being said, clones will decrease in potency over time.

cadlakmike1 said:I believe that if you have the ability to grow in perfect conditions, and expose the plant to no stress, you can clone on inevitably. Most people don't have the ability to do that, so they stress the plant and weaken the genes.
No harm done, you just missed my point by leaving off the next sentence.HippyInEngland said:I didn't mean to quote out of context
Just an interesting concept.
DNA breaks down, that is why we get old and die.
That is why things evolve, genes change because of the genes passed by aged DNA.
This will be interesting to dig into and research.
Be assured I will come back in a few months and post something
