Absolutely.
In fact, that's the "key" to strain freedom. Just make certain it's female and a strain worth bothering with. You can always "re-veg" a trophy for a clone mother, though it's preferred the clone mother has never flowered before (or so I recently read). Mine had flowered and it hasn't seemed to make any difference in the resulting plants, which clone great.

Of course you can. a clone is basicallly a duplicate or a twin of the mother, just smaller. Depending the size of the clone though I wouldnt try cloning it right away, give it some time to grow, you can take clones off clones clones lol and the bud would always be just as potent. hope that helps. peace

It's literally the same plant.
Regardless of how many times you do it.

I asked this same question about a month ago, and the general consensus on the forum was that cloning a clone weakens a plants genetics or some b.s. of that nature. I suspected it was a crock of shit. Thanks for clearing this up. +rep to whoever it was.

I think this qualifies as an "advanced technique" question. Cloning is not exactly newb territory. And the difference between taking cuttings from a single mother plant and the cloning of clones is something a lot of "advanced" growers seem to disagree on. I've seen many knowledgable growers say that cloning clones degrades potency and other factors. However, in my own experience this is not true. I have a strain which I have done this for 8 generations now. Meaning I grew the original plant from seed, then I cloned that plant before flowering it and vegged its clones until they were ready to give clones and then repeated the process. EIGHT times. I am rather limited on space and keeping mothers is just not feasible. Especially when I have noticed that as I selectively clone the healthiest and fastest-rooting plants the quality has actually INCREASED from all this, rather than the other way around. I am of the opinion that my 8th generation of this strain is more potent and vigorously growing than the original plant or any generation in between. They have only gotten better instead of worse which is the opposite of what many sources claim. Even so, when I tell people this I usually get a tisk tisk response saying you're not supposed to do this. But I've never gotten anyone to fully explain to me what is bad about it.
