Clones are clones? Correct? Regardless of sex?Seeded plants tend to grow very symmetrical. Clones have an asymmetric node spacing. From what I've experienced. Is this the general consensus? If clones are taken from a symmetrically developing plant, will the clone remain symmetrical in node spacing and development, or am completely off the path with this theory?
Once the clones reach maturity or gets rootbound it will start to grow asymmetrical too ime. You have to constantly take clones to keep them symmetrical. Before they reach maturity each time. This is a theory tho. At this point since i’ve never tried it myself i can’t guarantee it will work.Seeded plants tend to grow very symmetrical. Clones have an asymmetric node spacing.

Starting to grow asymmetrical in this case. :)Define maturity?
I'm about to test it. Seeded mother is month old+. Straight as an arrow and mirror symmetry. Approx 6 branch sets tall. Four shoots on bottom node have developed. Each shoot identically symmetrical so far. Two shoots on the remaining nodes to the top.Once the clones reach maturity or gets rootbound it will start to grow asymmetrical too ime.

Yeah clone that, put it in a smart pot to prevent it from getting rootbound. It will win you some time and once it establishes itself a bit, clone again and keep repeating this. Its your best bet imo.I'm about to test it. Seeded mother is month old+. Straight as an arrow and mirror symmetry. Approx 6 branch sets tall. Four shoots on bottom node have developed.

Seems bright enough. Put a clone into that and i’m very hopeful that it will grow symmetrical for a while.I'm currently using 3gal fabric pots. Intelligent enough to be called a smart pot?
Many grow their "clone" for 2 weeks than switch to 12/12 - Yes; it knows it ageI am guessing the clone will eventually get asymmetrical nodes even if taken off of a symmetrical plant. I'm no expert, but from what I have read, asymmetrical nodes are a sign the plant has reached sexual maturity. I can only assume the clones will eventually reach sexual maturity also, even if taken off a sexually immature plant.
From my very limited experience, my plants reached sexual maturity at around 6 weeks from seed. It would be interesting to see how this works for clones though... Does a clone know how old it is? Lol, what other factors help a plant reach sexual maturity other than age? Lol sorry, I'm high as hell now...
It's always been my understanding sexual maturity is whenever the plant senses change in light cycle, triggering sexual development. "Maturity" even would refer to the male generating pollen and the female flower beginning to develope, thus being able to be pollenated. Clones would already be "of age" and can be flowered immediately after rooting. They would bud, however the overall yield obviously suffering. A seed germinated plant placed directly into flower after two weeks on the other hand.... Wonder if it would successfully bud?I am guessing the clone will eventually get asymmetrical nodes even if taken off of a symmetrical plant.

Yes, but was referring to the node spacing I've observed in plants from seed vs plants from clone. Symmetrical vs asymmetrical nodes. But yes, a clone is a clone is a clone. No matter what its gender.Clones are clones? Correct? Regardless of sex?
