I am happy to help
Now you see how easy it is to clone.
It is especially important when you are growing from Seeds. Then once you have grown say eight of each kind you can knock off the three or four males, then of the remaining females pick the one that gives the best phenotype. There are often better and worse ones so you are doing your self a disservice if you only grew one or two females it may just be luck if you get a good one or not . I think for regular seats I would usually start with eight, and feminized seeds at least four would be good.
Then cllone on the best and all of them will be exactly the same forever
Yea man they are!
Never had a desire before but all of a sudden it makes sense. It was actually a comment by Ottawa Green that said "look at all the great strains Pigeons has had and let die!" Since then I've been determined to start cloning and blow it out of the water!
Here I go!!!
