Cloning and Clone then Cloning that Clone

lets say i clone a plant, then when that matures, i clone it, then when that one matures i clone that plant....does it get weaker?

No it does not.

I've heard claims that if you grow them at peak conditions it can improve the line.
Chimera Seeds has a strain going for over 25 years (cali orange)

Havn't heard about that one on improving them, but yeah, all these clone only's have been around for decades such as the cali orange or exodus cheese or etc etc etc, plenty of proof in the pudding

no, it will always be a snapshot of the original mother.

but cant a stain run out when you are cloning from clones,? depending on the strain, can't some strains be cloned more than other strains? Just something i think i seen on the internet.
Maybe someone here on RIU can answer that.

It is DNA, when you take a clone you have the complete and exact same DNA as the mother.

ok cause i wanna run a system where i would be cloning clones three or four generations deep

Strain in my house has been going strong for over 6 years.

You're safe.

ok because i didnt want to keep a huge mother plant

You can just keeop trimming it back to a small plant. So long as you leave viable growth then you can trim it back down to near nothing.

I have had and seen some issues doing this from fem'd beans.

NIRVANA PPP was one that had some issues , mainly hermie related.

And a DNA Genetics sharksbreath started to throw a few Nanas after 5th Gen, luckily i kept 2 first gen cuts .


Next time im going regular beans to find a viable mother rather than fem'd beans .
