which is better clone or seed and why feed back needed

I don't understand the question either, but I'll share some good news with you in the meantime.

About six months ago I bought a mixed batch of seeds, one of them was a Larry's OG Kush. It was a regular seed which turned out to be male.

Fear not, it was the beginning of my breeding program. So I pollinated a Royal Seeds OG with the Larry's OG. The resulting plants from the seeds come out as either one strain or the other. I have had a couple plants come out as a Larry’s strain but they turned out to be male.

And now for the good news 6 months after purchasing that first seed, I finally have a female Larry's OG Kush in my flowering room, 3 weeks 2 days and she looks lovely.
 
If you get a clone with roots, you are at least 3 weeks ahead compared to starting a seed maybe as much as 5 weeks. If you try to root a cutting its still quicker but only by maybe a week or two. A clone is usually an already sexually mature female and can be flowered right away if you want. Seeds, if not fem must be watched until maturity to determine sex. Clones are all an exact duplicate of the mother plant. Seedlings can show some variations in the same way kids from the same parents are not always identical. If you want every one of your plants to produce nearly identical looking and smelling buds you should use clones. If you want to top the plant to get 4 main colas (as opposed to 4 or more tops that are not treated as equals) you should start from seed since that only works while the plant is in its juvenile stage.

My opinion on this is start with seeds unless you really trust who your getting your clones from. However after starting from seed then you can make your own clones. The reason why is that when you get a clone from someone else you never know what problems you are bringing with it. I learned the hard way a while back buying clones from dispensaries and people i knew and got a really bad spider mite infestation. So if the question is should you start with clones, or from seed i would say seed. Once you start from seed though then cloning your females is way easier than seeds as you can pick your best genetic females to clone where as seeds can be variable. Get started with seeds then perpetuate your grow with your own clones and you will never inherit anyone else's problems.

yea I found a great place for clones they were what they said they were ,no rubbish like when I went to clone ville and this other crap shit clone place called clone queen ran the strains I got from them,, clonequeen sucked cuts were not up to my quality ,so I wasted alot of realesate and tossed them at the end ,,,they said it was alien kush turned out to be alien shit ,also cloneville sold me a gsc for 25.00 bucks it was total trash it was sick with a illness my fault for buying it ..went to my clone spot and got a couple of gsc thin mint cuts , they were very nice, not like the clones I got at cloneville and the crap from clone queen , heres two pics of gsc thin mint cut 14 days into flower, also I have a nice looking mother that I take cuts from ,some seed strains do better out then in:o

Nice man yea you can get good clones i just don't trust the dispensaries anymore after getting problems from them that were not worth it. Its good you found a place you can trust.
 
You should always expect that you got spider mites with any plant you bring in from somewhere else and treat them accordingly. Better to be ahead than play catch up once the little fuckers have laid eggs all over your ladies. Anyway I wouldn't touch Alien Kush, it gets powdery mildew indoors and out plus it is a poor producer. I actually have the GSC as well but mine don't look like most peoples pictures. Mine have shorter fatter leaves, grow real slow, and turn purple when the temps dip below 50. Anyway I forgot what I was really going to say, or maybe I already said it. Take it easy there Jimmy :)
