I chuckled...there's lots of experience in those comments. A retired dude? Not that being retired necessarily means old but that reminded me of this, sometimes the old ways are the best ways. I think you nailed it. Seeds or clones or both? We all have our preferences. I prefer seeds. Clones seem to require another complete set of methods and equipment, maybe not but there seems to be a lot of gear for sale to grow them. The same thing can be accomplished with a seed. I'm not knocking clones or anyone that prefers them, grows them, or sells them though. The cannabis industry refers to them as clones, but perhaps we get caught up in the language because a clone is the same thing as a cutting or a start where I live.
