Indeed, that's my own understanding, and you're taking that mutation along when you take that cutting.@Seamaiden
Maybe I didn't read that link well enough, but I don't think it's the cutting of the plant that induces mutation. What I purport is that the mutation exists before the cutting is made.
The main difference between tissue culture and cuttings is cell count.@Wisher619
I don't believe the mechanism of tissue culture and cloning is really much different.
Like you said before, you're taking the genetic info that is there, and giving it the correct conditions. True for both tissue culture AND cloning.
Brings to mind the researcher's saying: When you hear hoofbeats, think horses, not zebras.
That is a different thing from what's being discussed here. It's a hormonal response to lighting changes that signal to the plant whether it's to grow leaves or flowers. Make sense?When I asked whether my 3 leaved plants could have resulted from cloning, I never imagined the battle that was to result.
A clone is a genetic replica of the source plant. That said, you are not messing with the genes. The "water down effect" is urban legen. Cloning is not inbreading or any sort of breading. The term as it applies to growing cannabis is missguided. Technically you are simply planting the same plant and you can do this indefinately and maintain purity of the original plants DNA constitution. Get high on that same plant over and over and you might build some sort of tolerence hence the feeling of "watersd down" strainI've heard that taking clones from a plant in veg, then cloning the resulting plant will eventually weaken that phenotype. How does this happen? I have had a favorite strain (Ziplock) that came from bag seed about 7 generations ago. The newest clones are tending toward 3 fingered leaves, and plants are producing more 3-fingered leaves and getting less productive. Will breeding them with a stronger strain bring back it's vigor? Force a female Ziplock to hermie and pollinate another Ziplock female? I've heard pros & cons on this. Any suggestions out there?

How does this shit not kill the plant? Same thing with micropropagation they soak the Curran’s in 70% alcoholWhen you say soak in bleach you talking submerged or just stem
