clone a clone

[Pizzajoe]

In a perpetual grow, can you clone a clone repeatedly? and would it lose its potency?

Yes, you can. Essentially you can keep a mother in vegetative state for years(under the right conditions) and take repeated clones. Or clone a clone continuously.
I do not see any reason that it would loose potency. I think this is a myth. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

I have cloned clones to 8 generations. (Acapulco Gold by Barneys Farms) I quit doing it because of laziness I guess. i thought each generation lost a bit of vibrancy but that might just have been me . I still grow A.G. from seeds.

^^^ What Eliot Pryor said.

I'm working a strain right now that has been cloned repeatedly for 30 years. Each "Mother Plant" was used for 4-6 years before being cloned and flowered out for bud.
