purplephazes 2009/2010 grow op

I have been wondering a lot about clones.. Is it possible to take a clone and make it to a new mother? Or is the genes somehow diluted? Is it best to start a mother from a seed?

clones are 'biologically' an exact duplicate of the donor/mother.
"I" always flower the plants from seed and retain the "chosen" ones clone as a donor/mother. "I" feel clones make better donors, and allowing the plant from seed to fully mature and flower out, allows 'me' to observe/study it's traits, characteristics before choosing it as "the" donor.
Now, that said, cloning clones, in succession (ie clones of clones of clones) "can" genetically degrade over time/generations.

Got my seatbelt, this is gonna be a great grow! I thot kick off was Friday. Sorry to hear bout the Mom as a casulty of a game. Were you able to turn the top into clones?

Excellent post Hick. Is it proven that the clones loose vigor after consecutive cloneings? I have heard this before.

Excellent Journal Purple, I really really want to keep up with this grow, you got spring .....so cool spring.

Hi TC you are my first female visitor to comment ! YA HOO ! And in regards to taking clones i have to say no ! ..due having to revege them and not having the time to do so ! 24hr light and then i'd need to slowly bring them back to meet daylight hours it could take upto 5-6 weeks to do so ! But i do have 9 very healthy females and 6 older fem clones from another fem as well which are not doing so well i also have 3 males which will allow me to pollinate a few buds to get seed for next season ! I'll be putting 12 of the best clones out into the bush on or around the the 24th of sept and will have 4 plants per plot not the original 3 plants and the males will be growing in the sugar cane ! Thanks for popping in ! See you soon ! Peace and take care !

Hello again everyone ! I hope you are all well and taking care ! I have a funny story i'd like to share with you but you must promise not to laugh to hard ! Anyways i have delivered 3 of my 12 plants into the great Australian outback ! I stacked my car up with them and took my watering systems and chicken wire and all of the other requirements to enable my system to be a great success ! I arrived at my water source at around 10pm . I proceeded to fill the watering bags and carry them into the site which i had previously checked out at an earlier date ! I had to walk across an open feild for about 1/2 a mile and then up a large bushy hill for 1/2 a mile.... so here i was carrying 80 liters of water on a bench press weight bar... wandering aimlessly up a mountain listening to the silence of a nice peaceful evening and the occasional Kangaroo hoping away from me ! When i was about 100 meters from the top of the hill i heard this really loud groaning and grunting, snorting , Branches snapping ,Bushes get mowed down and praise the lord ...coming directly my way ! And yes it was a massive Boar ! So I had to think fast !!... and all i could think of was to turn and RUN !! It also seems that Australia has nothing but Gum trees with no lower branches so tree climbing was not an option .. Now i'd say that after the first 50 downhill leaps and bounds was when i had to bail out on the water idea and 20 more rolls after that i decided to kill my lights and stumble blind ! Meanwhile this grunting and snorting machine was around about 60 - 80 meters behind me but there was no way to be sure ! Then i figured i can move faster if i have my light turned on so i turned it on and kept on running / rolling ! I finally got to the bottom of the hill and spotted a short tree to climb ..upon waiting up the tree for 40 minutes the pig past by and ventured off into the distance ! Thats when i started to feel rather drousy and a bit sick in the stomach ! As i scratched a mosquito bite i realised that i had been attacked by ticks... 2 behind my neck and 1 on each of my lower legs ( the only tool i did'nt have was tweezers ) DAMN ! so the show had to go on ....i attempted to find the water up the hill but to no avail ! So i used the other bags which i had intended to use for another plot ! This was successful.. but as i got more and more fatigued i found that i could not continue to carry soil and water to complete the mission at hand and these ticks were begining to create havoc with my body and i was mentally tripping for free !! So i put my plants back in the car and drove homeward... upon approaching Brisbane i successfully bypassed a police checkpoint ( YAHOO ) and had all 4 of the ticks removed but 2 of the heads of these ticks were still in my body ...so the next morning i woke up and i was acheing painfully and the doctor told me that i had been attacked by these stupid paralising ticks (paralistic tick things ?? ) He gave a shot of antibiotics and dug out the heads of these critters and told me to enjoy 3-4 days in bed ! So i did just that ! I'll post up some pics soon of the family ! And i am now slightly wiser and have some great tick deterrents for this coming weekend ! When round 2 begins ! Hahahaha ..Peace and Take care !
