Thank you, I appreciate your experience. Do you think starting with a femanized seed would effect the outcome at all?The original clone only gorilla glue 4, has been clones more times by thousands of growers over the past 5 or so years. I've never kept a mom of my gg4 cut, only a clone after a clone and repeat for the x amount of years I've had her in my stable. She is ever as strong and the 1st time I got her.
Thanks man. The Super Skunk, did you keep a mother that you took cuttings off of for 15 years, or did you clone and grow out each clone, rinse & repeat?Idk i think it all breaks down to the donors health . ive been cloning clones of bruce banner 3 for over 4 years with no ill effects . i used to have a mass super skunk that was atleast 15 years old and the same thing only reason i say used to have is because i forgot to clone her
I only had the mss for 3 years it was a clone of a clone that my buddy kept i know he doesnt keep moms everThanks man. The Super Skunk, did you keep a mother that you took cuttings off of for 15 years, or did you clone and grow out each clone, rinse & repeat?
Perfect, that’s what I was planning on doing. It’s encouraging to hear people having success with it. Thanks again.I only had the mss for 3 years it was a clone of a clone that my buddy kept i know he doesnt keep moms ever
Just make sure the donor is healthyPerfect, that’s what I was planning on doing. It’s encouraging to hear people having success with it. Thanks again.
Not all strains you find will be able to clone for that long, without a loss of production or quality. Just as an example ,I have a HSO Blue Dream that crapped out in less than a year. I had the original Grimm Bro's c-99 that lasted about 6 years before it crapped out. Not all plants are created equal.Thank you both for responding. This has been bothering me for awhile and I couldn't find an answer. I'm growing some White Widow from seed and I want to just keep them going. It's reassuring to hear 10+ years without issues.
I had a White Widow mom for at least 8 years this side of eternity. She finally got squirley and successive clones had same trait, so we gave her up, so the answer is no. But you can have quite a few good years with your sweetheart strain on just one seed (but do plant em all and get the best one). The last clone is as old as the first, so keeping the first one forever isn't necessary and doesn't work. Mothers should be cut back hard, don't try to save every punny shoot and get so strechy. But I don't use mothers any more- I now use perpetual cloning. I triple top in Veg. I clone on the third topping for the next crop because there are 4 of similar size and same age.I have been asked this several times and I really can’t find an answer. I’m sure it’s been discussed here, I just can’t find it. So I apologize in advance if this is redundant.
I’m going to take cuttings before I flip to start my next run. Root the clones and veg them a little under T5’s. Then move to the tent when the last run is done drying. Then do it all again. My question is, how many times can you take a clone of a clone without adverse genetic issues pop up? Will anything bad happen at all, or can I just clone on like that into eternity? lol. Thanks.
Genetic drift is stoner myth!! Ive had my g13 for 15 yrs and god knows how old it was when i got it. I've been cloning clones the entire time. If anything ive done better and better with it and that just 1 example.I have been asked this several times and I really can’t find an answer. I’m sure it’s been discussed here, I just can’t find it.

Haha, it was an old stoner that told me! When I told him how I planned to take cuttings each time. Went something like “Hey man, you know you can only do that like...six times” (a number I believe pulled out of thin air). When I asked him why, he couldn’t really offer a logical answer. Thanks for posting your experience. It gives me hope for the future.Genetic drift is stoner myth!! Ive had my g13 for 15 yrs and god knows how old it was when i got it.

I have other clones that have been passed around all over the world.
Well i mean look at sfv, Chemdog D, Chemdog 91, ....how long have these cuts been around?Haha, it was an old stoner that told me! When I told him how I planned to take cuttings each time.

You can do it a billion times... Probably a trillion timesI have been asked this several times and I really can’t find an answer. I’m sure it’s been discussed here, I just can’t find it. So I apologize in advance if this is redundant.
