Hey, thanks for the inquiry. The answer is, there is NO difference in potency or taste....perhaps if anything it's a little better. There is no stress to the plant other than the initial cloning, and to the clones, the process of rooting. Once you have roots, its like any other plant. All ya do is either clone a flowering mother 1-2 weeks into flower, and root the clones in 12/12 and finish them out. usually 60-70 days after you see roots. These will yeild approx 6-10g dry a piece. OR you can clone a vegging mother, root those clones in a 12/12 light cycle, then finish them out. They will be 12-14" tall colas yeilding 8-14g dry a piece. I tell you it's amazing what i feel i've discovered as a method for high yeild for small operations. There are so many benifits to this method and it's fairly easy....it could work for noobs.
Any other questions or debates are welcome....
