Benzelsanswered grow question 3 years ago Why are all my cousins over 6' tall while im 5'7 ?? we all have the same grandparents right? Or why is my of my cousins familys with 4 kids- 2 are white blond and two are dark brown? same parents... Why does my sister and I have diff eye color ? its just genetics- this is why pple started taking clones back in the day when any seeds, let alone good ones were hard to get. So when you found a really good plant that was better than the rest, u kept it, turned it into a mother plant, made more clones of it, made more mothers out of them and started selling the clones of that one really really special plant you found after going through dozens or even thousand's of seeds to find it. U could make as much money off a really good mother plant- clone business as selling bud when good genetics were hard to come by.
Today good seeds are easy to get, but you still get genetic diversity- some will be shit. most will be average, some will be great and a few rare ones will be something truly special. Not every plant you grow even from the same seeds will be a good one. Some from unstable lines will have multiple phenotypes, one may lean towards the indica parent and finish sooner than its sativa leaning sister from the same batch of seeds. Unless growing from clones u will never harvest multiple plants at the same time. Even if its the same strain from same pack, one plant will always lag behind and one always seems to race ahead if you grow 4 or more of the same strain. fucks knows why... lols. may only be a few days or so buts its def visable.
