I can't imagine anybody grows from seeds, other than for starters. |

can happen But it always starts with a seed. Sure there are clones bought/sold/shared amongst those growing commercially. But then you have things that can one clones final product in one facility may not seem like the same product from another. Grower, environment, genetic drift, etc. can all play a part in it. Commercial growers never stop searching for that next strain to market. Doesn't matter if it comes from an existing clone or seed. |

Commercially you would like to start at least 100. Not saying you can't do it, but a 5 pack of F1 seeds you might not get exactly the best choices of phenos.

A 5 packs of seeds might not even produce a viable plant. I once planted 4 seeds and all 4 of them ended up being "males".

That is true. There's definitely a slow degradation of genetics the more you clone something. It's like taking a Xerox copy and putting on the copy machine. The more you do it, the lighter the ink becomes until you can no longer read it and the source material is gone.

I'm thinking of facilities that are thinking long term. Those that realize that eventually IP rights are coming down on cannabis strains at some point and don't want to be holding someone else's bag with a future residual payment attached to it from past years worth of profits. |

So good growers are going to be constantly doing both - R&D and production. |
