What's up with monster cropping / flowering clones etc??

Research with randomnly induced mutations that the majority of mutations are harmfull to the survival of the new plant. It really is that one in a million mutation that is interesting or benneficial. Flip of a coin is 50/50.

Also agreed, wouldn't do it until I had plenty of time and $ to waste, figuratively.

My best guess to the potency-loss question is this: A seed has energy stored within it, enough to root and grow a seedling a seedling will grow in coco), then soil and nutes take over. Now with clones, at that point, the energy comes from soil/nutes and rooting creates a lot of stress on clones as branches don't normally need to root (we all know the stem will root up to the top soil). So perhaps not possessing the initial stored energy causes a decrease in energy (not genetics) and this the plant cannot operate as strong, chemically, to produce resin. What do you think of that!

I think you could be right ... nice thought

Sounds like a nice theory, but that doesn't change the genetics of the plant and a seed can only hold a minute amount of energy. Same with the cotyledons. Once that is done the plant gets its energy from the environment so putting a clone in a good environment should be the same as growing from a seed after the rooting takes place. The point of the energy in the seed is to get the plant started until there are roots. When you take a cutting, the plant has chlorophyll to do that job for it as well as stores nutrients.

I dont know too much about radiation,
I dont know if it would help or be enough radiation to do anything, but i over heard some "geeks" talking a few years back about placing a popcorn kernel in between 3 or 4 iphones and, texting all of the phones at the same time, the radiation of the phones would cause the popcorn kernel to pop!
Maybe if you put your seed in between some i phones and texted them like 100 times, it would create enough radiation to maybe alter genetics?
