drtarzanmd Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 Lets say i buy a seed from one of these breeders ... Lets just say it comes from Amsterdam from a known seed breeder ... i sprout my seed ... it turns out to be a fantastic female plant ... now , here's where my question is .... if i take clones from that female plant it's still a true genetic . what if i grow those clones and take clones from them , Are they still true genetics ? Are those clones as good as those taken from the mother seed Plant ? Will those clones have the same THC Levels ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobandtorey Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 i know some one like you ask and he would take clones from his mom plant for over 10 years and they were always the same and rotate the mother plant is the way he would do it another words after you take your clone and make sure they have roots then he would flower the mom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+JuztBudz Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 Yes, Tarzan, they stay true to the mother plant...Peace...j.b. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grow Thread Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 yeah buddy....... a "clone" is just that. it has the identical DNA as the mother plant..... oh the beauty of the sport yes, your clones are "true" genetics. if you seeds come from F1 stock (yours do) than you have F1 clones.... and the clones of your clones are still clones of an F1 plant.

knottwhole Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 yeah buddy....... a "clone" is just that. if you seeds come from F1 stock . Big if. How does anyone know for sure unless the genetics is theirs? Just askin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knottwhole Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 tarzans plants came from seed. most of them did i believe. But how would he be positive of the seed? I tired of names. New genetics are coming around by the day. To me, it's either good or it's thrown out with the bath water. How do you really know what you have unless you're a breeder and know for sure what the genetics are? Help please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grow Thread Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 sorry to get off topic sir. but you know what these are about. just throwing an update in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drtarzanmd Posted January 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 Never off Topic in my Post ... Thanks for the update ... You should see my 3 Herijauna 's and 3 - Brainwrecks from seeds ... I can't tell you exactly because I'm feeling No Pain right now ... But mine are 3 inches tall and looking good .... It's weird ... i said something to Jane the other day and Said : Those sure look alike ... So Jane went in there and pointed out to me the difference ... Both have really fat leaves , but one of them leaves comes to a sharp point ... and the other one the points are more rounded . then to a sharp pointed ones ... So that was Cool .... But anyways... Sure hope you've had a Chance to look up a few photos of those BC Budds ... So you can tell which one it is ? I'm hoping its the one that Bob & Tom talk about the two hits knock you dik in the dirt stuff .... That $25 a Gram stuff that the dispenaries are selling Keep Me Posted Budd ...

knottwhole Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 That $25 a Gram stuff that the dispenaries are selling At $25 a gram, why don't we just call them what they are. "Connoisseur Shops". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drtarzanmd Posted January 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 At $25 a gram, why don't we just call them what they are. "Connoisseur Shops". Well ... I do understand that they have to make money and that there may be a need to those that money is'nt a issue ... But as a Compassion Club leader i try to show people a system that works and that no patient (member) of our Group would have a NEED for a Dispenary .... It really hard to get people to work together ... Alot of Greed , some Jealous ... Back Stabbing going on instead of working together .... What do you do when a patient (friend) comes to you looking for meds, So you give them Free Meds and then when they get some money they go to the dispensary instead of supporting you and pay 20 a gram at the dispensary ?

BubbleBerryKush Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 (edited) I always heard that over time, if you take a clone and flower the mother and grow the clone to be the new mother (and repeat this process a bunch of times) that your plant will be impacted over a period of time. ie, not as potent, not as big a yeild, etc...

Thats what I've heard too... But if you take a look at my 4th generation of Bubba Kush , You 'll Chit .... She is a Monster ... Theres 4 stalks coming off her ... w/ over 15 Main Branches going upward , which im pulling them outward to allow more light in the middle ... She is about 4 foot tall & about 4 foot wide ... She is a Beautiful Plant... Only been in Bloom for 10 days , So she should be done w/ her transaction ... I 'll beat she'll give me the most i've ever had from Bubba Kush .... I see in another approx. 9-10 wks... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me, it's either good or it's thrown out with the bath water. How do you really know what you have unless you're a breeder and know for sure what the genetics are? Help please. The only way to be sure of what your getting is: a: Talk to the breeder himself b: Do your homework Just because someone says they have a certain strain doesnt make them correct.

greengenez Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 I have had the same strain for over ten years,and it is still one of my favorites. I try not to swap my best mothers out more then once a year. I do believe that this plant may have taken a small hit from genetic drift, but it'll be in my room for a long time to come.

Guest Happy Guy Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 (edited) One thing that I'm not sure was mentioned here yet; When growing from a seed, the second batch, from clone, is usually better than the first from seed. That's because a seed plant is immature for quite a while. You would have to veg it for a long time to get the real deal on the first run. After it is mature you can clone off it and have a mature plant right away. Hope this helps explain some things you are seeing with the second run being better than the first.

avgjoe Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 With Haze crosses it is suggested to take a cut from the seed mom and flower those out.The cuttings will stretch less and typically finish a couple weeks earlier. I don't have room to keep mom's around for any real length of time,so my cuttings are vegged until big enough to flower,then I take a cut from her and start it all over.
