Propagation by Cloning

I have been cloning generation to generation for years. It seems most grow from seed or keep mother plants for clones.

A continuous grow with photoperiod plants provides a harvest every seventy days after the first generation. I have kept the same phenotype going for over 30 generations, or more than 5 years.

Cloning generation to generation allows me to select the best examples and to keep the same genetics. A single seed can yield pounds of the same pot over many harvests.

I am curious. How many others use this method?

High as I wanna be

Good question Gingerbeard,. And to answer Maxcatski, it would have to be some amazing weed for me to stick to the same strain for 5 oz let alone five years. I have done several runs of clones but im done after 2 or 3 harvests. Now i just pick what i want to grow.
 
30 generations of clones will not give you the same genetics, no way.

You'll start with a sativa and likely end up with a still born cancerous lump of sea urchin. Your plant will be 5 or 6 year old by then and I suspect it's DNA will be toast.

Well it probably wont be that bad but you get my drift. Id expect more susceptible to disease pests and mold
 
That's why taco Tuesday is better than fish taco Wednesday. You can select your meat on Tuesday. You only get fish on Wednesday.
 
Fish tacos have not changed much in five years. I do not suppose they will change much in another five years. Maybe weed people can take a page from fish taco cloning?
 
I do not have a personal cancer story, but I have a humorous story about eating sea urchin with my grandmother, an adventurous story about diving in a cauldron of sea urchins in Spain, and finding a fossilized sea urchin in Saudi Arabia.
But, wait. We are here about cloning. Did you know sea urchins can clone themselves?
 
So can starfish. A starfish eradication program was implemented here years ago where the divers cut them up underwater thinking it would kill them. They turned 50,000 starfish into 150,000 starfish.

The government was unable to show that was successful although they did attempt to.
 
That was Operation Fantasia. They released a bunch of hatchet fish in starfish populations
After the starfish got eradicated, there were schools of listless hatchet fish sharpening themselves, looking for trouble. Were will it end? Nature sure is consequential, wot?
 
Well, I'm going to reply to all of you in one post. I have grown more and better cannabis than all of you put together.

The Internet is full of trolls yet I had hoped for better here. Sigh. I won't be visiting with you any more.
 
Curious Gingerbeard, what kind of fish is in a west coast fish taco?? Ontario we usually go with a yellow perch or walleye. Our selection of salt water sea food is not so fresh...
