All clones start with a seed ,but once you have found a gem that you really like .Its kinda stupid not to keep it around .I love growing from seed ,I like the chase for that special pheno.I do agree with some seed companies, take greenhouse for one.I don't think i have ever done a bad plant from there seeds ,so i feel no need to clone them.I do but its always only ever for one clone grow.But I would be confident in putting any of greenhouse strains i like in soil knowing its gonna be nice bud.Strains like exodus super lemon haze ,exodus cheese nevilles super silver ,Jack herer ams .Not done none of there new stuff yet,I like there old stuff to much.But will be trying afew soon.
