Mother plant no longer giving good plants

hey all, just a quick one.

Over the last 5-6 years we've been using the same mother for cuttings and he last 2 years or so the plants seem to have taken a really bad turn.

The buds are no longer dense as they used to be, they foxtail now and they ever used too.

Yield and quality is just down. The branches can't even hold themselves with tiny buds on. 5 years ago these plants barely needed any sticking up at all.

Anyway my question is this. Over the years we've had to take a cutting and make another mother quite a few times 6-8 times so it's like 8th generation. Could this be the reason? Do plants get weaker when you take clones off a clone? Or would it be down to treatment over the years?
