seed or clone

[fdd2blk]

easy question. which do you prefer or even swear by?

 

[mogie]

I see that the poll is evenly divided. Hmmm looks like we both voted different ways. You must do better with clones then I do.

 

[mr_issues]

I chose clone because all the growing I did in Washington was clones... This is my first indoor grow, and im using seed.

 

[FilthyFletch]

I voted clones as Im to impatient and is save me a month or so of grow time..

 

[fdd2blk]

i haven't voted yet.

i like the ease of clones.
but for good solid healthy plants i'm voting seed.
so seed it is.

i just love the way the nodes stack up. especially outdoors when let to grow to their fullest potential.

is a question of what you planning to do with it fdd, if it is for a complete new batch i always go with some good seeds, if its to continue i go with clones, no need then to waste money for seeds

 

[mogie]

It is neck and neck going into the turn.

 

[SHAMAN]

Seed's remind me of x-mas you never know what your getting till it's open. Seeds make great mother's,Mother's make ton's of baby's....{this question is like the chicken and the egg}

Definitely seeds here I like to watch it grow from a seedling I like to know where I am starting as with clones you have to get them to root and that seems to be my biggest f*cking problem with Clones....I like seeds I keep a tally of how many I put to germinate to see what percentage of seeds popping was ...I hade it down to like 90% om my seeds popped alot of times it was a 100%.....I have lost about 5-6 seedlings since I started growing so I am not doing to bad those that I lost were just developing weird shaped leaves and the stems were tiny....tiny.... well anyways... my vote seeds!!

let's say " a complete new batch".

so to rephrase.

if you were starting a new strain, in your garden, would you prefer clone or seed?

 

[Doobie Doo]

I vote seeds that way I can grow a different kind on each new grow. I want to try them all.

 

[pauliojr]

I enjoy using seeds so every time I can try something different and figure out the best way to grow from seed. I have never tried clones, but plan to in the future. As of now it's seeds!!

 

[gooner69]

clone's are so much better because you can get your crop done quicker and you no what your getting unlike a seed where theres 50% chance that it will be a nasty male

 

[nongreenthumb]

If you want to smoke the same strain forever especially if you get into the trap of not wanting to pay for seeds, i like having different strains each grow so that i have something to look forward too, finding out how it grows smokes n tastes

i would go with seeds since with seeds you can't introduce pests from a other grow to yours. also can seeds travel further unharmed while clones are more limited in range they can travel with a good chance of survival. which may work would be cuttings in a cooler but that is no way for postal travel nor will this prevent the risk of infections get shipped along.
so ultimately, for a new grow or new batch of grow i would always choose seeds over clones/cuttings

 

[Garden Knowm]

clones = more $$$ less time...
clones and cloning technique are a cornerstone to gardening... cloning is simple and should be mastered by all growers

seeds just seem to produce better colas EVERY time... The biggest colas I have seen always come from plants that were started from seeds.. the plants have BIGGER leaves and are all around moreimpressive..



CLONES = females 100% of the time... thus clones, are BETTER!!

[FallenHero]

I love the clones for automatic female aspects.

But as GK stated, i love the way a seed grows out nice leafs/colas.

 

[mogie]

To be fair they both have their good and bad aspects. We should be able to do both. I can and do (but still love those seeds).

 

[pauliojr]

The only thing about clones is that eventually the genetics of them will get weaker and weaker and more prone to bacteria. Granted it would be a while for that to happen, but we wouldn't be anywhere without the good ol' seeds!!

 

[rusty_shacklford]

keeps some seeds as back-up, but... CLONES all the way. I like to keep the balls out of my garden. i actually have a mix going right now. sucks to know that ill be throwing some of them out when they are sexed. but the cuttings from the fems will be keepers
