A lot has changed in the grower's game over the past few years. What's the best way to start your plants in 2024?
Late's take a look at the pros and cons of both, growing from clone, and growing from seed.
Something about starting from seed is magical
The 2018 farm bill loophole is going to be closed. No more legal hemp THCA or 0.3% THC in seeds . No more sending seeds through the mail . Everyone should call their US senators and encourage them to sign on to Senate bill CAOA that legalizes cannabis at the federal level ! Read the CAOA bill online and call your senators !
I stressed a plant once and got seeds from it and planted them and they right now are growing immensely… I just flipped to flower a week ago and they are already flowering up nicely
Never plant seeds from a hermie, it's not the stress, it's just weak genwtics, those seeds will turn into hermies too
It all start's from a seed . But there's nothing better than big fat rock hard stinky , sticky , super frosty no trim unicorn cloned bud's . Just knowing you still have that one you love after harvesting and drooling with excitement all the time , it's priceless !
Everyone should call their US senators and encourage them to sign on to Senate bill CAOA that legalizes cannabis at the federal level ! 18 have 43 more needed to pass CAOA ! Let's do this !
Which 18 have signed ?michigan is legal but definitely need to be federally legal
@@SamanthaMorris-de9qx go online and read the CAOA bill along with the 18 or maybe more by now that have signed on . Another thing , Congress is probably going to change the 2018 farm bill that will make it illegal to sell and send cannabis seeds through the mail . They want to outlaw 0.3% hemp THCA. Closing the loophole .
My personal opinion I love dropping the beans and starting from the beginning.
In 1994, I was in 4th grade. You og growers really plowed the way for me now at age 40 . Thank You. Can you believe how many states went legal and now we're seeing schedule 3? Pretty amazing for me but can't imagine how great it's gotta be for you having lived through more of the bullsh*t
It's been a journey. Put on the Sowing Seeds Festival on 4.20.96 in Boulder Colorado. Staffed the High Times Hemp Fest Whee! festival in 1997 where Jack Herer first got medical cannabis on the referendum ballot and it passed.
Still quietly making history behind the scenes like I have always done, for 30 years now.
My genetics, I will never get credit for, are a labor of love.
Seeds all the way. Clone the special ones to run it back a few times but never stop hunting seeds
The way you do it is fine, but special stuff dies in a garden like yours.
You da man saying this.
I definitely think it is fricken fun having a constant round to keep the mind body and soul busy 😂
Clones will always be superior because you always know what you have. You know it doesn't herm. You know the height, weight, and everything else. I do hunt seeds sometimes, tho.
So for the most part, I agree with you bro, but every now and then I pop a seed that blows away my clones and I go oh yeah, this is why you go back to seed now and then
And then you clone that one over and over 😂
Yeah as a 1 year old grower I'm having the time of my life making my own seeds. But I agree.
Clones herm. Not all herm is genetically instigated. Plus all the seeds will be female because there is no Y chromosome to make the seed male.
A stress seed is your best friend growing. Light leaks you can do on purpose to make it throw bananas out.
Everyone should call their US senators and encourage them to sign on to Senate bill CAOA that legalizes cannabis at the federal level ! 18 have 43 more needed to pass !
Sorry to burst your bubble, but you can herm a clone, height can be controlled, and you're overall assuming the person buying the clone will do the same work. I grow my own seeds so this might be biased, but nothing beats seed vigor.
Clones all day...I like growing a strain for a few yrs..so I clone from crop to crop...in 30ty years never have I had any issues with clones....
Start from seed and take clones ....this way u won't get any issues.....I miss cannabis from the 90tys...back in 1991 in high school I came across weed I was scared to hit..it was fire best stuff I have ever smoked..today's cannabis goes by names instead of being known as a danky strain...
Absolutely. We all remember the landrace weed from all parts of the world.
Spot on bud. I am mostly only working with pre 21st Century genetics. OG Kush, Cotton Candy Cane, Panama Red, White Widow,
Blue Diesel, and Lemon Kush. For now. I just sprouted one Hindu Kush, one Blue Dream, and one Sour Diesel. Breeder's Delight.
1996 orange crush, I am searching for that unicorn people saying it was a clone only strain. Word out there it’s blue berry crossed with California orange.
@@aychemara try Brandon at EQ Genetics 🧬 in Oregon
They curate legacy strains.
@@robertchiarizia9463 AK 47 is one of my favorite from pre 21st
Beans baby I like the process
SCOTTY IS THE G.O.A.T. !!!!😊 AWESOME INFORMATION EVERY TIME.
You rock!
I only keep clones of what i have from the early 2000s which are my favorite. I honestly can't stand alot of this variety coming out now a days.. Just my opinion! You rock Scotty!! ✊️🤙
Thanks for sharing!
None of them are really backcrossing new strains hardly anyways. It's all select cuts of unicorns. They name it and it's not even as far as an F3!
Everything they are making is simply a pheno of strains we already bred into the early 2000's.
Everything they make today with some exceptions, like EQ Genetics, is really just an Afgan, a Thai, an American Sativa, and a Chem Brothers strain all bred together into similar varietals.
People are now beginning to hunt landraces like the Malawi one.
I stuck with mainly seed when I first started out, but then I happened to get an awesome Diesel pheno from a random NASC freebie and went as far as revegging and taking clones for future projects.
I run both but prefer beans myself! Good stuff Scotty!🌳
Right on
i like trying different things and part of the fun is popping seeds and seeing what they develop into. i pop seeds for my grows both autos and photos
👍
I finally hit some yeild on my auto grow this round. Used coco loco and it's still kinda hot without any added nutrients after 7 weeks lol but they loved it and it made them explode
I 💚 clones. Seeds are easier to send to a friend. Clones might not grow as vigorously, but I’d rather have the sure thing vs a possible vigorous herm. Pheno hunting is something you pay for in a clone or with your time and space with seeds. Quality clones around here go for $20 each- get 2 or 3 and clone them. I’d gladly pay that vs $50 for a 5 pack of beans.
Best way to go
Mine are $25-30
Damn, yall need to let a brother know where to find them for that price!!!! DGC Love
Everyone should call their US senators and encourage them to sign on to Senate bill CAOA that legalizes cannabis at the federal level ! 18 have 43 more needed to pass !
some people adopt dogs some people buy puppies at the end of the day you must enjoy them throughout there life spand. always be kind to one another. DGC life is all around us appreciate it. cheers lads
Thank you so true!
Just wish I could clone and keep my dogs going like we can with the plants. Lol
Who even gets on anyone’s back about how they grow? It’s my biggest surprise commenting is how some will go into attack mode over a f*cking plant. Nobody in the neighborhood has knocked on the door and told my wife her flower garden sucks because she (fill in the blanks). Likewise with my annual crabgrass killer, weed killer and fertilizer application. The yard is green and the weeds are gone and nobody cares how I accomplished the task.
Yet here I am literally being called an idiot for the way I grow herbal medicine. Do ya’ll think there’s any egos involved here with some folks? I just try to ignore the chatter.
I'm a new grower. Seeds are what I'm trying. I've got four different strains in one tent
Clone what you like out of the seeds. Seeds aren't always the same. I grow from seed, clone and I breed my own seeds.
How new ? Cuz that can get tricky sometimes with multiple varieties.
Even when you have just one pack goin sometimes you find 1 that just don't like the environment of the room or the feeding program not always tho
THANKS SCOTTY.. I Love ❤️ popping those seeds. Clones cool to. But I personally like variety. shout out to hi-c !!
Always reliable info. Thanks gents!
Any time!
I am using seeds this year. Doing good so far
Learned a lot about clones. Thanks!
Seeds for personal pleasure, not boring. Love variety in multiple diverse strains.
I do both I have my primary grow that is all clone but I also am trying to start a new batch of at least 20 seeds every two months over the last 4 years or so. 😊
You must be non stop
@@robertchiarizia9463 if anyone asks the 40 by 20 greenhouse only has 12 plants in it😉😜
I seriously appreciate the content and hard work.
Thank you!
Start with a bunch of seeds different strains then keep the good ones to push out weight of flower your love
Like Kyle Kushmans says, I can pop a seed and take a clone the same day. By the time the clones roots and starts to grow again, I can have that seed plant much bigger! Taking clones saves no time at all! 💯
Almost 30 yrs myself breeding is what keeps it interesting! once you start breeding you gotta keep clones for your back crosses when your trying to go in a certain direction
Very true!
Yup, what you think about back crossing from F2 or F1 to the original parent? Or should I take it to F3 at least?
Paid 15 bucks for a clone , bought 2. First time trying to grow it. Wish me luck
Love your videos man, so much great info, i would love to hear a bit more of your nerdy knowledge heh keep it up!
Thanks! Will do! Join Us at realgrowlab.com and share your grow and hang.
@@ScottyReal420 will do man, doing exactly what you said in this video a bunch of clones veged early ill see how it goes and keep you updated 😁
I'm on my second year of outdoor grown from seeds. It's been a fun learning experience. Last year I had some hiccups and ended up with only 2 plants yielding. This year I have 7 strong youths coming up in buckets and I just planted 18 germinated seeds this morning. Got my seeds from a genetics guru in Morroco and I think this new crop is gonna pop the fuck off. This channel is great! Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Good stuff guys 💯 thanks 👍
You bet
Great tips and tricks are so true ✌️🔥
Glad you like them!
Breeder here I say Seeds Like Scotty said You can get All sorts of nasty critters from clones ect. Seeds all the way.
Seeds are the way to go outdoors because of the volume. Clones are the easiest indoors with a perpetual flower garden. Every two months you are pulling ounces and ounces of quality smoke 💨
I get the fun of seeds though.
I will blow you away indoors though using clones while you are waiting for seedlings to veg enough to throw in the flower garden. Alot cheaper than seeds too. My opinion anyways.
Clones if u growing for $$$ seeds if I’m growing for my head. I make some F1 s and polyhybrid F1s that I get some killer smoke
Yes, Sir.
I've popped seeds from about 12-15 packs and only found 2 I wanted to keep, well 3 because one of those 2 had 2 good phenos luckily.
If you're going to buy packs, buy packs you've heard good things about from multiple people who have actually grown it.
Testers are truly hit or miss, do the tried and true packs if you want to get good results, it's worth the extra $.
Buuut, if you are more interested in variety on your first few runs than growing a ton of one flavor, it can be pretty fun!
Clones are good because you don't have to sort male plants. Or you can just trim the buds of the mother plant. Place it in a closet for 2 weeks.(no light) then bring it back out and start it back up.
PLEASE HIT THAT LIKE BUTTON 👍. SHARE SUBSCRIBE AND COMMENT 😊. MUCH APPRECIATED ❤😊
I got lucky and found a seed in some weed I bought and now I sprouted it and it's growing it's still a Seedling stage but I'm excited!
Seeds have the tap root and that’s what makes all the difference for the rhizosphere
I've had an old timers that used to tell me that they used to take the stock after they cut it they would leave some on it and they would regrow it next year after about 10 years they really don't produce much after that but if you find one that does really good in your spot you dig it up and bring it inside and put it under a 4-foot fluorescent and I even had a friend that would just leave it. If it was a mild winter it'll really grow back next year I had a family member of mine that had one in a barn for almost 10 years they had a pile of chicken manure that had been rotting for 10 years that's basically the way they did things they would let manure Rock for 10 years they put the whole pile on it. That thing had a tree trunk for a base that was the last year that they wrote it and it took and grown outside of a barn almost 100 ft the limbs were laying on the ground it looked like a bunch of plants but it was just one massive huge plant when they took it down it filled up a tobacco Barn. Of course it was just personal and it probably lasted 10 years that one plant did
There is no better. Its just what works for u. They both have pros and cons. Cool thing about seeds is it can be like a scratch off lotto ticket and u may hit the jackpot or bust but scotty knows this!! Who do u think i learned it from!!
I was getting my 10 -5gal buckets medium ready for seed grow I used recharge in my Medea soil letting the dry out than mixed in blue dot all my seeds have sprouted and will be ready to plant and in my tent growing season so excited
Hell Yeah, share your grow over at realgrowlab.com
Seeds seeds seeds...I like different outcomes everytime!
Ift you got a Clone for the first time its different for me :-)
i run both clones for the keepers and seeds for the new stuff..
Both lol I grow outdoors and indoors I like taking cuts from a mom that's been started from seed
Hell Yeah!
In my experiences I've noticed cloning from clones isnt sustainable. Genetic drifting tends to occur.
Instead I like to seed out the parent thats from seed. From there I run from seed that genetic ,, in multiples.
But thats what I do.
I prefer to keep different strains pumping through so I don't develop a tolerance to one. Got a chemdog about a week or 2 from flowering. Little excited for that one. Just dried some Alien Moonrock, highly recommend!! Thanks again good sir for your potent information 🙏🏼
I use a tent for autos from seeds and my 2nd I use for photos and I just took my 1st ever clones about 15days ago and out of 12 cuts that I took I have 9 that I managed to get clones rooted, I really didn't think it would be as easy as it was but now I know that if I find a unicorn I can take cuts to keep it going but I'll always keep 1 tent for autos
I grow both seeds and clones. Clones for seed making.
I find the surprise of seeds attractive
Im definitely a seed guy. Nothings better in my opinion 😎🍀
Watched the Mr. Grow It episode recently about HLV and she said they can detect it in seeds. Crazy to think about!!
And the worst part of HLV is that it can infect the seeds.
Maybe this is why people say the bud out west and dispo weed doesn't get them high anymore.
The Boutique Organic growers will save cannabis ultimately.
In New Jersey I can cut nibble on end and plug 🔌 into solo cup no domes get almost 100% to root it get that humid here
Still in my first flower after legalization in Germany. Got to go through some breeders first, before i know what is clone worthy.
I like both , hey also here in New Zealand they sell plant food in liquid form and they say you need - part A+B then root boost in a bottle , resin boost bottle , flower enhancer bottle , and a few more , are these needed to grow good plants ? Cheers Scotty reel
A lot of time you don't need it all, they are just trying to sell you a bunch of bottles to make money, do some research and you may find you don't really need all the bottles they try to sell you.
I like both for different reasons fun to hunt but nice to keep good genetics around
Right on
I like to clone but with the seed banks we have today I like to experiment with new seeds
Both always.
Seeds work for me. I love to pheno hunt! I also love breeding something unique to suit my tastes that's just for me, my family, and my friends. 🎈
That is awesome!
I'm looking for a Topanga Canyon clone to ourchase if anyone has the cut id really appreciate. I'm just getting back into growing. I have epilepsy and og strains is what I medicate with and helps me the best. Thank you guys
Plants have responed to the recharge nicely
Awesome!
Hey Scotty , There is a Horse running today at 5:44pm 13 Race at Pimilico Park called RECHARGE. Wanted to know if there was any connection. Today is May 17 .
Nope 😂
Any advice on ILGM seeds so far I’m having good luck
they are rip off white label seeds.
I have great results with ILGM. People can say what they want, but that company never let me down.
I’ll be doing clones with this grow Looking for cloning advice! I’ll be watching this and all your videos thank bro
Thank you!
From seed is exciting but with klones you pretty much know what to expect and what your pheno can handle stress wise. But I wish I did have some beans like the rest of YOU
ive not had a crop for 8 months or more but ive dumped at least 200 seeds which i have destroyed because im trying to cram more plants into a small place with a short veg but it hasnt worked out i.ithink the best way to grow seed is veg at least 4 weeks in a 15 litre container..reduce the amount plants and grow 50/60 gram plants..ive never had more than 2.5 ounce off a plant because i probably dont take them to their full density for fear of budrot i guess..experimenting costs money but im gaining experience and ive been growing over 30 years..its cheaper for me not to grow if im honest..i only grow to make oil and cover my bills but i can get it cheaper online..so its become an hobby now..
Seeds are fun. Clones are consistent... hence clone. I can't imagine something more fun than crossing my own amazing plants I created with any and every amazing strain/cultivar out there and see what happens myself.
You can reveg a male weeks before he drops pollen powder and he still will.
But inside your veg tent Instead of flower tent.
Flower haze early to avoid longer flowering shorter.
It all depends yo...if you have limited space clones but if theres room its a smart idea to crack beans and do a mini unicorn hunt🎉
Man seeds are a blast! It’s like playing scratchers hahaha
Hay now skywalker is a good one
I like to grow a few cycles of clones just to dial it in for reaching max potential, but I'm doing it for myself and it does get boring. I like the idea of having several strains to rotate through to add diversity, but I'm limited on space and like trying new strains. The big problem I'm having is with breeders selling poor quality seeds
Name or number a seeding find a pheno you like keep it and run clones of it simple .you can even do 2 clone and once it's got roots flower to see it so you can bin the males
ICE (Nirvana Shop) is my FAVORITE. I started growing a few years back and ICE is number one on my list every year. No munchies and can't sit around on my ass during the day when partaking in this strain.
Clones are the winners of the rotation but seeds give you the winners
Should you use mosquito bits in your soil while growing weed
I used to be a seed guy but the gene pool is so extremely watered down now Ive found its mostly a huge waste of time so now Im team clone.
Clones are nice, but I enjoy growing from seed. Watching them from sprout to harvest is what I enjoy. I also just ordered some of your grow dots and recharge. Thanks for the scotty420 code. Can't wait to try this stuff out! Keep up the great work!
Hell Yeah, come join us and share you grow over at realgrowlab.com
I'll have to check that out. Happy growing!
I have one bud left from me "unicorn" I didn't know was a "unicorn".
NYC Diesel feminized seed stuck in dirt on Feb.1, cooked by LED light until mid April when I was smoking it. Not bad, but not much either.
I don't know where to get clones, so I stick to seeds.
Got spider mites from a store bought clone that I should have quarantined and cleaned up better so that’s my fault, but it took so long and so much cleaning to get rid of them that I swore I would never run another clone unless it was my own. I love growing big plants outside better than inside so I don’t use clones because of the lack of a tap root so they will never get bigger than a plant started from a seed. I will use clones to make seeds from strains I like. Everyone has different situations on where they can grow or what they prefer but for me nothing let better than seeing a huge 12 to 14 or even a 16 foot tree or bush. Looking at one of mine or someone else’s tent grows just doesn’t do it for me anymore even if they are nice plants with killer buds but everyone is different. I’ve had people tell me they never knew a plant could get so big because all they have ever done was grow indoors.
Both! 😂 Thanks for the info Scotty.
You bet!
you'll never find that next exceptional one with clones..
could be the next seed you sprout..
Seed guy here ... every clone I have got from somewhere has had issues. Only one ever was any good so I will stick with seeds till someone has a clone that doesn't have issues.
I like to clone for at least another grow! After that, I'm ready to try another strain that I haven't tried, but have always wanted to! * Unless of course, if I have a Unicorn!
I don’t know anyone else in my small circle of friends who grows. Actually I can’t even think of any other regular users to get seeds or clones from. I’ve been pretty stealth and people were secretive about it prior to last August. For a lot of years it was all I could do just to find some to buy let alone be offered clones.
They tell me that clones come with the risk of contaminating my garden. Clones are an interesting option and I plan on seeing what I can find in saved bag seeds next winter run. I’ll get those going and see if I can luck out and find some females. If that is successful I may try cloning one of those.
Seeds have a more complex root system but once you find that one love that does good for your spot or your grow you're going to want to learn clones they have less Roots so if you're going outside it's going to be a weaker plant. They say clones are more susceptible to bugs outside
Genetic drift is a thing. that cut that was fire a few years ago is now mids. Some cultivars are more sensitive, some Don't seem to care?
Cant really have a uniform pound of AAA indoor without growing from clone.. but im in favor or hunting your own unicord from seed if you have the space and time
I'm a seed man myself. I prefer the gamble, but also love making my own crosses.
Clones are a great tool. I can take a pack of 10 seeds and turn that into several hundred plants in under two months.
Someone gave me an old pack of pineapple upside down cake and I successfully got one seed to germinate. Pray, 🙏.
Add a couple drops of hydrogen peroxide to the water when you soak them. That helps older seeds germinate.
I think we’ve all grown an auto flower, and said Damm I’d like to have that around again. With photos and cloning, I take a couple clones in veg of each one of my 8 that I’m flowering, and it’s already rolling by the time I see if I have any unicorns, if I do great, if not all of them get pitched, whatever works for you is what matters though.
Clones for the win you no what your going to get🎉
Bigger colas off of seeds but higher yeild off of cuttings. I’m going with clones once I find a strain I like.
I'm a new grower and grow Dots and Recharge have saved my grow literally so thank you guys
Thank you, so glad to hear it!
hi Scotty, hope you get to see this and can look into over the seas shipment (uk) I love managed to find your products but they're nearly x5 the price 🙈 thanks your fellow green fingered friend 💚
we are working on it.
Seeds! And I make my own F1s. Win-Win.✌
Awesome!
@ScottyReal420 We're only allowed to grow 3 plants per person here in Germany, so since I need both a crop and seeds for the future, I gotta use colloidal silver treatments to get results.
I have a Gorilla Glue freak with 3 and 4 leaves per nodes going on many of the branches. I tried asking people if that is something I should clone and try getting in touch with a breeder and got no response from anyone I asked.
if it is something you like then clone it.
havent stared growing yet but you can always keep mothers instead of clones right? and when they get to big you just turn a clone into a mother? problem solved?
Yes indeed. Join us on realgrowlab.com and share your grow when you get started. Ask questions and get advice.
