They don't "lose" genetics, but if you don't keep the conditions pretty close to EXACTLY as they were for the previous cycle there will be a difference. People will argue this to the death. There are different amounts of hormones in different areas of the plant. Clones from lower on the plant have higher levels of these hormones, and ones taken from higher have lower levels. So, in theory, the ones from lower on the plant will give you a better success rate. Your plants are changing if you notice it or not.

its like the top colas of the clones spindly with hairs. the lower branches have a decent size, but still nothing like the momma

It's not going to LOOK exactly like the mother, but the genetic composition is....or VERY close.

Something is wrong with your clones.Ive seen people top them late ,right before flowering and this caused wispy buds on the main colas.........peace

They would have been fine if they would have given them a chance to recover from being topped.

Well, it's fine as long as you give them time to reboot.
