look for legit clones from a reputable source, not from a friend. it made a huge difference in my rec grow. i have a plant limit so its nice to have solid results from every single plant. i dont have the time or money to take care of 30 plants just to find 1 single good one. then i just have buds that i dont want to consume. its the single thing that made the difference between me being a mediocre grower with inconsistent results. im growing for personal use, so i dont need anything but consistency. now i dont go to the dispensary to get the "better" bud to use.
