If you clone a clone of a clone of a clone, that final clone was effectively cloned from very old proteins. The aging process started when the original plant sprouted from a seed.
I'd snort that dirtBack in the 80's some relatives were trying to get a coca plant to grow indoors. They failed until they brought some native soil from Colombia back. Related? Perhaps.
My understanding is that If the dna is already mutated, you are beyond the point of no return. The mutation will be part of the new phenotypes.Cool topic.
A clone is physiologically the same age as the mother... So, what about using "old" clone of clone ^10 used for crosses by some of the more established breeders? Would it affect the vitality of the seeds, using that old tired girl? Would the tired genes (genetic drift) be passed to the new seeds? Or, would the genetics of the new seeds be a copy (1/2) of the original sprout?
Anyone ever hear about putting a older genetic specimen outside to "revitalize it"?
yes, that could cause shock or stress and then a genetic mutation. stress can cause the malfuntioning of dna repair. Changed mediums and also changed enviroments. More stress, more chance for mutation of dna.Can genetic drift also be the product of climatazation?(how the fuck do you spell that? ) think darwin @Oregon Panda the shiskaberry is Oregon local but if clones got traded and traveled she could attempt to accumulate. This would be more obvious to outdoor but could even affect indoor. This is all speculation btw not saying THIS IS HOW IT IS! merely saying it could play a role in the changes in strains
I just read this posted by Steep hill labs..not sure where they got it.
I read it on their Faceboook page :)Can I ask where on Steep Hill's website (or elsewhere) you found this?
That always works for me tooI will take unhealthy plants outside in order to get them back to healthy again if necessary......
