Seed vs Clone

Is it possible to get first generation bomb weed from seed? Someone told me the only way I would get the kills was if I cloned my plants?

no cloning is just faster and easier. you just dont want to clone clones past a certian number of times or you will get a hermaphrodite. a clone will only guarentee features of the mother plant, becuase its the same genetic material. so a clone will not nessesscarily give you better weed. There are many more factor's too, ex. lighting, nutes, etc.

it doesn't really matter. Basically same thing. You just take out the possibility of getting a male if it's a clone.

forgot to mention that as well. however there are feminized seeds now with 99.9% success rates.

People have been known to clone a plant for well over 5 years with no noticable decrease in potency.

You can clone as much as you want bro I personally have had clones passed down since the seventies (30+yrs.), now shrooms thats another story!

Cloning is the the way to go, no paper towels no waiting for it to pop out of the soil or rockwool, cloning its there in front of your face just the right nutes and ph and of you go.....

Ok, i am mis-informed then, my apologies, i was led to belive you can clone the same plant as many times as you want but when you start cloning the clones thats when things start to happen, and for survival reasons they will eventually hermmie, but as i said i've only read it in guides and such. not everything is right.

Let's Agree To Disagree! Ok it has been 27 years for me since the day I started growing cannabis! I have heard a lot S hit over the years, some true, some way off base! I have a Panama Red plant and a Columbian Gold plant, both of which I have been colning for 24 years. Yes it is the original strains from the 70's. Mother plants died years ago, but I am always colning from the clones.

Is it just as good today as it was back then? Hell no! It's even better! Why you may ask! Simple, - nutes! Nutes have change drastically over the years. Back in my hey day nutes were kinda dinosaur like compared to today's nutes.

1st generation, second generation who cares about that crap? The fact of the matter is genetics. DNA will never change from one clone to the next. The only proven way to change the genetics to any living plant or animal is by introducing large amounts of calcium or crossbreeding. Unfortunately large amounts of calcium will kill pot plants, and fast. The main reason people see a mutant plant, or a hermaphrodite these days is simply because of cross breeding! The genetic make up of these cross breeds lies in the DNA ~ it is kinda like having sex with your daughter or sister and a baby is produced. This is a part of the DNA pattern which upon occasion a mutant, or a hermaphrodite is produced. That genetic make up will always remain in the DNA pattern! And like I said above: The only proven way to change the genetics to any living plant or animal is by introducing large amounts of calcium or crossbreeding! Hope this clears things up a bit! I'm not one who explains things real well, but hey a buddy of mine is a geneticist maybe he would be willing to touch on this subject! I'll try to get his lazy pot smoking ass on here to explain it!

hey i dont disagree, as i said i was told that and will now stand by what i see here. thanks.

Thanks for all the killer input! Small medicinal grow for myself and bought stealth grow box with no space for cloning.

i o no ima go for seed 1 cuz i dont see strands of it any of the local cannabis clubs..
