Clones losing vigor over time has nothing to do with genetics.

Correct, otherwise strains like Romulon and Northern lights etc wouldn't still be around if clones lost vigor.

Pro: always female, clone able, can make make your own feminized seeds when purposely hermieing a plant which ive only had when causing hermie intentionally.
Cons: can't say I really have any as I don't have any loss in vigor, just some genetics grow way better than others. With my current grow I have 3 clones of 1 strain, and 2 clones of another and both strains were given the exact nutrients and water but 1 strain is 3 times bigger than the other.
I've been growing for about 10 years, but ive only ever purchased nirvana genetics, as i always clone, so my seeds last a long time.
Good luck with your choice

I'm only talking about clones from feminized seeds , and I'm only talking about my experience. Also, if you need an example of a regular seed or clone that lost its vigor look into G13. Which lost its vigor about 10 or 15 years ago you will not find the Clone to this day.

Been longer than that since i had any g13 that was decent... maybe 27ish years

What's the difference between a feminized plant and a female plant then?
I've cloned both and never had a difference in terms of vigor. It doesnt even make sense since you are taking a cutting of the exact plant for it to be genetically different down the line.
I'm always open to being corrected so if I'm missing something please explain.
Environmental factors are a whole different story which is usually the culprit for a decline in health.

I'm not denying anything you say , I'm just talkin about my experiences with feminized seeds. I don't see why people are questioning my experiences? take what I say with a grain of salt.

Sorry not trying to argue, I just want to find out why people think fem seed plants are different vs a female plant and why taking clones off either would be any different.

Should also add I work in a veg department for an LP, we clone roughly 6000 plants a week so I'm always trying to learn more and asking questions is the best way.

I've never had a nanner on fem seeds. Make sure you get them from a breeder with a good rep. Same goes with reg seeds too

Meh, I would argue with this but only to amuse myself... I’m already amused so I’ll let it slide

I never had any on csi gear. I’m running some feminized hemp seeds outdoors right now from liquid mellow, and I’ve found 5 plants with balls already, started flowering way too early as well. I don’t know wtf to expect from these
