Seeds vs Clones vs Female seeds for Outdoors

[FlyinHawaiian]

well Im getting ready for Long season this year and Im wondering whats the prefered way of growing big outdoor plants, I dont wanna grow a 6 foot male so Im leaning towards female seeds or clones what do you prefer?

Female clone
Get started now!

clones are best as there mature plants and will grow faster then a seedling can , female seeds are nice as you know there all gonna be females unless they hermie which is unlikely less the strain is fucked , but id say veg abunch of seedlings and take them outside or start with clones and do it that away with vegging then takin em outside

like you said you dont want a bunch of males which leads you to either a bunch of clones off female plants or to buy female seeds

I always had my seed plants over grow my clones outdoors.

Clones have the advantage of consistincy, particularly if they have come from a known excellent female.

One single missed male or hermi can really spoil your season.

In general, I get much bushier plants from clones. Seedlings tend to grow taller and in a more predictable way. Clones are less well defined, you get branches everywhere.

As for size, if you give it 3 months of good conditions during the Summer, it will be huge. That brings up the second advantage of cuttings. Many smaller plants instead of one huge bush.

I took cutting in early July, they went outdoor in early August and were into flowering at 24" in late September.

thanks for the replies Im gonna start a few seeds now under floruos and get some clones

For tall plants with the chance of having males then start from seed. If you want shorter bushier and better yielding (female) plants then start from rooted cutting end of April.

Good Luck
