This ACE forum is busy as hell!!...I've never seen so many new posts. Maybe it's the huge cola pics. I've looked through tons of pics and they are beasts!...but answer me this advanced growers...

Why is it that new plants from any strain yield bigger than once you start cloning off her for a few months or years?...virus? genetic drift - I clone from clones but always need to go back to the seedbank for fresh stock or yield eventually goes down, or is it just me?

Also. I'm not far from Spain, are Ace based there?

The happier the mom, the more vigorous the cuts. I know that in my garden it's really easy to neglect the mothers sitting in the back of the tent. The genes are always there, it's a matter of getting the genes to fully express all the positive traits and vigor. That is done by stepping up your mom game.

Maybe it's just me, but keeping even just a few mom plants VERY happy for long periods of time can be time consuming and difficult. I still haven't fully developed a complete routine of perpetual happiness, but when I know I'm going to be taking cuts I hop up the soil with top dressings of kelp, alfalfa ewc etc to get them into peak health weeks before the cuttings are taken.

I don't pruport to be an "advanced grower" though. I'm Just A Guy, J.A.G.-off if you will, just trying to do it right haha.

I am interested to see other responses to your questions also.

My theory is that clones usually get different treatment(commercial growing vs soulful growing) and also clones have different root propagation because of hormones, thus the plant growth/development slows down a bit because of slower roots.
Mind you, it's just a theory

Since we're in the purple thread, here's a picture of my Zamaldelica x Kali China clone, which developed differently in flower compared to the previous clone, both have a very similar shade to the bud.



Cheers

Here's a Violeta that finished at about 65 days, (PCK X Purple Malawi).

Still curing but samples taste great and must lean towards the Purp Malawi for it's potency. Grown several PCK over the last few years, never had one that packs this much punch. Very smooth , powerful smoke. I have 5 more freebie beans of Violeta and definitely will be running more and hoping for a good male.
