germinate - Definitions from Dictionary.com - Im not seeing that here...
Well if you want to get that technical clones are named wrong, they are splices, they are just the same plant living its life. Not a "Clone" Genetics of plants tend to deteriorate over a long time of cloning, so no they are not exactly identical to the mother, soil,ph,nutes,temp, etc.... These things all determine the outcome and overall genetics of a plant, this is why i personally think that PH nute lockouts should be recised to be much more percise. Think about different strains any why they are different. They all had their own particular enviroment, nutrients, light, ph. All play a big roll in the genetics of a plant. One thing that usually if not always has a baseline is the tempurature and humidity that the plant is in, nearly all plants need the smae temp and hum range, where as light should not be correlated with temp and whathave you. But infact spectrums and amounts of light should be looked at in a more scientific manner than blue red.... I mean in all reality i have read all of the grow faq and many others online that are similar, but none of them seem to help anyone perfectly. Just my two cents.
