Clones don't lose vigor, Growers do...
Really folks, 99% of the growers on these forums don't have any growing skills whatsoever - stop blaming genetics, bugs, virus's, whatever - it's Grower Error.

I had a nice cut of Querkle that purpled for me everytime, even in heat it would purple up if left for 9 weeks. I moved on to some other stuff and gave a cut to one guy and two nice mothers to another. The one guy tell me it dont purple up any more, Says it always stays green even in the cold. I figured he mixed cuts up. Then the other guy tells me one mother turns purp and the other stays green, but they are the same. I check out the first guys bud and its the querkle i gave him but green. Crazy that one mutated like that. Im going to try and get a cut of each one and see whats up.
I know that this statement has pissed off a couple of people, but I want to say this much about when I'm dealing with a problem. I start with ME and examine what it is I've been doing or not doing to meet the organism's needs.Clones don't lose vigor, Growers do...

I'm here to learn and help others as best I can. I look forward to reading what you bring back to us. :)Part of having 'growing skills' is knowing about the life cycle of the plants you're trying to grow. Like what happens when you clone across many generations. Assuming you know everything important about plant biology makes you a shitty horticulturist, regardless of what you're producing.
On a more positive note, I've got a meeting scheduled with a doctoral candidate in botany this week. Asking about genetic degradation is at the top of my agenda, and I'll post whatever I learn in this thread.

Short answer is NO.Is there actually a degradation of the genetics over time if you continuously take "cuttings" from one plant?
Short answer is NO.
Long Answer is NO but health of plant comes into play. Environments change, growers change, lots of variables. But genetically it is Identical as a cutting.
Nature will always do what it wants... If there was a genetic mutation due to, let's say x-ray exposure or something at some point of a plants life(for example), then yes the cutting will not be genetically identical. But that would really be an external cause of genetic mutation, which I would think more plausible.There is evidence that this is not always true. Genetic drift can happen with asexual populations. Over time a cutting may no longer be genetically identical to the original plant.
