@HighTV, 100% same plant so crop will be same every time if you don't change up the grow to much and that's the other point I'd like to make this helps if you want to see if a product actually does something. Like I added Mammoth p the second cycle/time I grew it and definitely noted better results and it does what it says. You could probably do all that with cloning. I'm trying a few clones now so I'll see. Not sure if there are any great advantages but it was a fun leaning experience and the first plant I ever grew so it's nice to see it still around and not just cut down.
