clones are selected not made
Elites are made clones.

How do you think elite clones are created ? Besides those that accidentally pop...

You can make a stable clone
You can cross a potent with taste, after that with smell, whatever, slowly creating the clone you aspire to.

That only means you made a clone that carries the traits you selected

That what it means to make a clone or a strain.
and imho by the a”breeders”has a stable variety..its stable mediocrity
The seeds are stable mediocrity, the clones are elite and just fine (if we believe them)
Most of those clones are just not breed true specimens
They flower true, that's why they are elite smoke, not elite donors or breeders
Like I said before, there's a huge difference in the clone you use for smoking (your elite clone) to the clone you'll end up making seeds from, although you try to reach 1:1 in your seeds, they are different clones.
selfed clones are more to the point imho but aren’t exactly saving the gene pool lol
Yes they are better then any cross with a male or fem that's fosure, if you trying to keep it within that genetic variation at least, but every clone has its false/true breeding to an extant
Elites are called that way because of the smoke, not how they breed
So more stabilization is required, no matter how elite your cut is.
only real way to keep the/" gold "is keep the original male and female

or self that glory cut..

its just my view..
Hmm only so far, as if they are far from breeding true the chances you'll get something like the P1 is very very far, like we said, 1:100,000 if your lucky or 1:1,000,000 if your not

People don't understand how much plant count matters, it's impossible to breed true the polyhybrids of today with low plant counts
I mean you can but it will take forever !
If you only have 50 to choose from and each cycle you only choosing the trait you want (stabilizing) or even worse not finding even the one trait you most want that will set you back 4 months easy.
Oppose to high numbers, where you select from 1000 plants and narrow down your gene pool fast end effective.
