Hi folks, I have a question.
I know that once a plant is born, it has certain genetics that determine many things about it.
I know that when you clone a plant that you reproduce its genetics. Therefore given the same environment you will have the same plant.
If you have a plant with really good genetics, that has had a really hard life, and is now in a really bad way, are clones from it going to be good and healthy, or as damaged as the mother is now ?
The reason I ask is that I have this magic sativa strain that I love. Like all good sativa it grows about 3 feet in the first 6 weeks of flowering, and gives a monster trippy head high.
Due to a series of equipment malfunctions (I dont want to talk about it) all I have left of this strain is a really crap little mutant plant that was planted outdoors in mid winter to see what would happen. It was fully in flower and about 3/4 of a foot in height. Not 3-4 foot in height but 3/4 of a foot in height.
I have taken it indoors in a pot and put under 18/6 light to try and reveg it so that I can clone it and get back into growing it properly. Feed + water etc.
Are the clones going to be viable like all my old plants, or misshapen stumpy deformed monsters like the one I have now? Have I lost my magic strain?
