Taking Clones From Feminized Seed Plants

Discussion in 'Advanced Growing Techniques' started by piper32, Jan 28, 2010.

  1. Are there any significant reasons why taking clones from a feminized seed plant would be bad? I have a friend who is a really good grower who has an aversion to taking clones from these plants. It almost seems like I was insulting him when I told him he could have clones from anything I am growing from feminized seed. I would almost bet that he wouldn't even smoke bud from a feminized plant.

    Now I know that people are gonna get smart assed and say "Why don't you ask him?", but I wanna know what fears or objections people around the WORLD have about taking clones from or just growing feminized seeds period.

    Thank you for your opinions and replies!

  3. That is a new one for me. I use have used fem seeds on many occasions and have cloned them with awesome results.

    As a matter of fact I have clones right now from fem L.A. Woman, Hash Plant, Blueberry & Lemon Kush going on.

    It might be that fem seeds come from a hermie, and can turn hermie. I have never had this be a big issue. I have only had 1 turn hermie on me, and I will use every seed that he/she spit out....

    So imo either your friend is a snob or not as educated as he would have you believe.
     

  4. Right on. Thank you for giving me your personal experience. This is exactly what I am looking for. I am growing a fem G-Bomb right now and the lower stems are ripe for cloning right now. +rep
     
  5. People can be superstitious about any, and everything. I hear a lot of people say, "I don't believe...but I do this anyway."

    That's the best I can do on that one. As for me, I have no qualms growing a fem seed or taking clones from a fem plant or growing those clones. And, I don't have a problem smoking any of the buds from 'em. :D
     
  6. I seem to remember reading something about feminized clones not being as strong a plant as non fem. I could definatly be wrong, (my head swims from the reading I do here:eek:) Anyway I would love to hear more on the subject:)
     
  7. Yeah i dunno either. I have since taken clones from my fem G-Bomb and the clones have outgrown their mama. I will see in about 6 weeks how the yield turns out different.
