but thats me

Who the fuck does deep tissue cultures to get a MJ start????not trying to argue but if thats the case then y is there somaclonal variations in deep tissue culture?
The proff is in the plant itself....18 years ago I was given this MJ plant in clone form.....I have pulled 108 generations off this strain.... thats 108 different times of pulling a clone off a clone off a clone
I actually get more now than when I first started growing...the somke is still the best around

post a reference to this "deep tissue culture" with cannabis please, i'd like to read through it once or twice

Listen up kits and cats and I'll give you the scoop.
When you clone from cuttings (or air clone), you are taking a large number of cells, and unless the cell that began that branch (unlikely, but possible) most of which are not mutated. So when you take a cutting from that plant, most of that clone isn't mutated either. There is a small possibility that your clone isn't an exact match to the original, and that possibility goes up slightly over time, since that precise set of genes has longer exposure to environmental mutagens than may induce mutation.
So for all practical purposes, a clone is an exact copy no matter how often copied unless you get unlucky, and if the universe is out to get you that much it's going to do it no matter what so don't worry about it.
The other methods of tissue cloning use a small group of cells to make a large number of clones, so any mutated cells that are used in the inital sample become full fledged mutants.

I think people try to equate asexual plant reproduction with cloning higher organisms from somatic cells. Plants, unlike those higher organisms posses the mechanism for asexual reproduction and the clone is an actual offspring with the same DNA. I think it's a mistake to make this comparison.

All I know is I have been running with a strain for about 4 years and its just as bomb as ever.
