Seeds vs Clones in Hydroponics

Clones in hydroponics are better than seeds

You are much better off starting from a clone rather than a seed in hydroponics. There are a lot of reasons for this. When you start from a clone, you know the genetics of your plants. Meaning the clone came from a mother plant, and the reason it was taken from the mother plant is because the mother plant showed signs of fast growth and good crop development. So you know with 100 hundred percent absolute certainty that the clone taken from the mother plant will have those same genetics. That’s because it is simply a copy of the mother plant. That’s what a clone is. A clone is cutting those taken from the mother plant which is now rooted and turned into an exact copy of the plant it was originally cut from. So clones are identical to the mothers in every way. And will display the exact same characteristics as the plant they were originally taken from. That’s the great thing about clothes. You know exactly what they are before they pop out of their seed. (more…)
