Are There Growing Problems With Clones

When using clones to plant a crop of weed while this is an identical copy of the original plant it can have some vulnerability to disease. Another problem is here are some pot strains that in a clone very well maybe more difficult to root.

There are some clones that will root quickly while others will take longer and some need an expert grower in order to be a successful cutting that will root. It is this reason that many cannabis growers will keep a favorite mother plant in order to clone from when growing season to the next.

The reason that a mother plant is kept is because allowing all of the females to flower can end up killing off a strain and that would defeat the purpose of cloning a favorite cannabis plant.

Cloning is not as easy as starting a pot crop from seed, however this is a sure way to continue growing the exact plant that is desired when harvested.

Some of the problems that can be seen in growing clones and even plants from seed is leave curl, the yellowing of leaves, the tips burned on the leaves, porter brittle stems, wilting and even bad roots. These problems can be found in plans that are healthy or plants that have grown in weak and straggly. These are problems that can also be found in other gardens and not only the cannabis crop.
