Breeding clones from the same mother? Good or bad idea?

Let's say a female plant is showing traits you like, so you take a few clones.

You reverse one of the clones with CS and use it to pollinate one of the other clones. Is this a good idea? Or will this somehow be genetically messed up?

It's fine. You can spray part of the parent and pollinate it with it's own pollen as well. Same thing.

Genetics don't change. Cs works based on suppressing ethylene production which is what determines that the peers would have been female. So you get pollen sacks.

to my knowledge that's just a technique used to stabilize a plant, to lessen the variance of phenotypes. A good idea if you want to keep those genetics stable for future breeding.
