Actually Rock I'm really glad you brought this up because it identifies something that I consider rather important and X-Crispi has mentioned to me that he has run into the same problem trying to clone as well. The issue is this: Why would I clone something that takes 2-3 weeks to even get going.....then nurse an obviously stressed out and sickly plant back to health when I can plant a seed and have a nice plant in 2 weeks without all the bs? It just doesn't make any sense to do unless you get some positives out of it and a sickly,wilted, yellowing stick just doesn't make it as something I'm going to invest a lot of time and energy to end up with. It's simply not how I want to grow.
I don't see Stinky's or MVP's clones looking completely like shit by the time they are rooted so there must be a reason for that. I just can't find out what it is. Otherwise.....unless its your ONLY chance to keep something like a strain going or want a whole bunch of little plants exactly the same (to sell or grow or WHATEVER) I just don't see it being worthwhile to end up a month later with a three leafed yellow stem. There HAS to be better way.
