Hey guys, can anyone bring me up to speed on why seeds grow faster than clones? I am only on grow #2. First was from seed, this time around I germed 2 seeds, took about 50 clones and kept the best ones, only 11 past quality inspection. Currently I have 6 of the 11 outside, 2 are indoors under my screen, and 3 went to a friend who lost his mother due to neglect. Currently I have the two original mother plants that grew form seed outside, and I have to say that the clones are doing much better. I guess because the ones from seeds were used as mothers and maybe that is throwing them off. Anyway, not discrediting anyone here, I respect everyone, just trying to understand the logic behind it. Peace

I dont know, I just like the idea of starting the seeds, and truly and completely creating and starting a plant from scratch...from that one lil miracle seed.

That's cool man, I can respect that, just wasn't sure if one of the elders on here had passed down the info to you..kinda sucks for renegade growers who don't have access to good genetics on a regular basis. Living in a non-medical state, it is important for me to get as many plants from 1 seed as possible, especially when you are paying these ridiculous prices for seeds. Kinda nice to know that you have an entire garden of fems from taking clones too. Just my 2 cents

I dont know what the finished product looks like lol this was truly my first grow that I took serious...for the past couple years I fooled around with growing...and my dad has too...this year I did lots of research and spent money on the grow...now I love growing. Its my passion.
My past grows were shitty lil plants grown in whatever season I put them out...heres a pic of the harvest from my first ever grow(1 plant where I did everything wrong)..it was a lil leafy, but it was way better than schwag.

You can pull some fan leaves, but only the ones that are dying from lack of light...if its green then it stays in my garden lol..and topping is okay....but you just dont wanna do unecessary stuff to it all the time ya know?

Thats not SoCal thats the Valley, lol. ANyway I was going to say the same thing FDD said. Put a clone into 12/12 and you will see soon enough. Dont need to be growing males. I have alot of sativas and they have all shown gender. That growth is strange to say the least. Plasnts look good though.

Anytime brah...yeah, I got a nice Swiss Cheese female that's bulking nicely. She showed sex about 2 weeks ago. I took 3 clones from her yesterday and started an indoor grow. I wanna see what the herb is like. I'll force flower them. Good to see everything is going well...take care and I'll pop back in from time to time. I attached pics to show you.
Take care,

hey zig.. I have cloned fems outside and none have shown any sign of sex yet. Don't worry mate, you will have plenty of time to get a male outta there with it being in your back yard and all.. patience is virture...and the fact that you have to wait so long to find out is a good sign...
