A family member is encouraging me to go the cloning route next time. I’ve read where seeds have better genetics, higher yield and develop a tap root for better performance over clones. Thoughts?
I personally prefer seeds, only because unless I'm real familiar with the mother plant of a clone there is to much risk of bringing something in my tent that I dont want (ie. Pest, disease, bad genes). Now I know you should quarantine clones before you introduce them into your system, but unfortunately I'm kinda tight on space and dont have the luxury of lots of extra room. But if you know the mother plant and trust it then a) you dont have to wait for germination, b) You are almost guaranteed to have the same results as the mother and c) You can get cuttings from the motherplant for quite along time .The last time I used clones I got 2 from a friend who had 12 in total. My 2 grew in a tent with perfect conditions and for some reason they both hermied. My friend on the other hand grew the other 10 outside and they turned out ok? So I dunno.? Thats why I say you kinda have to try for yourself and see what works best for you.
