genetic inbreeding

hey guys, quick question... i bought some seeds from a bank and got some really nice crops off them. only problem is, after about my third or fourth crop, the leaves were curling and crispy.. similar to a heat stress issu and my clones were dying off... i didnt change my process at all, but it seems like the plants just werent growing anymore... i have read a little on genetic inbreeding but havent done a lot of research (im a single dad, working two jobs)... i dont really have a spot to mama a plant so i was just cloning off my crop before i flowered, instead of growing one mama plant and cloning her, so my clones were clones of clones of clones etc. think this is the issue? if it the case, can you honestly hibernate a mama plant just by 24hr darkness so she doesnt wither and die on me? thanks!

Can't give any information on your problem, but it's not inbreeding because you aren't breeding anything.

No, this is not the issue. People take clones off clones off clones off clones ALL the time and pretty muh every single person i've talked to or read of has never had issue. I personally grew out the same clone for 3+ years without a mother without any change in growth patterns whatsoever.

No...you can keep cloning the same plant over and over and over and it doesn't matter......what soil are you using? or what is your medium rather...?
