Now that it's legal in some states, does anyone here just buy clones for the next round from a nursery? Kind of like when I buy a tomatoe plant for my veggie garden.

I have acquired a huge collection of elite clones in the last 6 months
Here is what rode in with them:-
Red Spider Mites
Two Spotted Spider mites
Broad Mites
Russet Mites
The most aggressive PM I have ever seen. Thriving @ RH40%
Fungus Gnats
And my personal favorite Root Aphids yay!!
The only Clone vendor with clean clones on the West coast is Dark Heart Nursery.
I have never had a single pest issue.
Everybody else just sprays so they look clean when you get them. Just wait 3 wks and see what happens. Same dirty shit every time.
So fucking Lame.
So yeah go buy all the clones you want. And QUARANTINE them!
Preferably in a different area code from your grow!!
Having a nice quarantine area is a must for me. I grow in a separate building from my house and will keep new cuts or anything coming from outside in a bedroom for a few weeks and keep an eye on them. I dont spray them with anything on purpose just to see if anything is on them. Other thing is root aphids sometimes they wont show up until flower so even if you just take an unrooted cutting you are also doing yourself a favor
Keeping a cabinet full of safe clean mothers feels like peace of mind.
That may be a bit of an illusion, but it does make me feel better.
Quick logical question (not trying to stir shit up):
Comparing two specimens--mother (grown from seed) and a clone of a clone of a clone of a clone. If the environments are the same for both...then why would one degrade more than the other?
If you can keep them both stress free there will be no difference.
It is when the mother is stressed.
Or that clone you took stressed. And then you took another clone from that stressed one.
That's when drift occurs.

You do have room, read the thread and you'll see how a few pages back.I've never kept mother plants because I never seem to have enough room for them. If I had the space I'd probably keep moms as a back up .
