    Default If you Clone from a Clone does the quality drop?

    If you Clone from a Clone (Mother that is about 6 months old), and then make another Mother from one of these Clones will the overall plant health, yield, thc content be the same or does it drop??

    No. It's recommended that you refresh your clones instead of keeping a mother plant indefinate. The mother plant will grow old and tired. So keep rotating the mother stock with fresh clones.

    They are genetically identical, and have fresh roots so if anything should be better

    you can keep mother plants for years and years but personially I wouldn't..it can get ill and too big but I would keep one for 3 months and get a clone to become a mother and let the old mother plant grow into a big big mature female plant with lots of bud..keeping a mother plant for 3 months is good imo

    What I am saying is if you keep that mother plant going your clone stock will eventually loose potency and probably yield. Either flower out the mother plant or throw it away after 6 months at the latest and replace her with a clone. So provided you took it from a fairly fresh mother plant the clone will be fresh and vibrant.

    Personally I would clone the mother plant and flower her. Keep a clone back to make as your next mother plant. Once she is big enough to clone again I would flower that mother plant and keep a clone back. That way they will always be fresh.
