I was wondering if someone..., anyone, can help me out!
I was thinking about how when you grow from seeds and if the seeds are not from your area, they will grow differently from the place of origin...that's a given...okay, now after a few seasons of making seeds and and furthering generations, you create a stable strain that was not from your area, but has adapted to the changes of conditions over time...now my question is,.... does it work the same way with clones??? like if I keep cloning, my clones will change and adapt over time?? If anyone can help, please do!!!

thank you :peace:

im no expert but i dont think with clones you could get your plants to adapt. With seeds you pass down traits that the plants have learned/adapted to. WIth clones you take a geneticly identical plant as the one you took it from. So if that plant was not used to your area i could not see a clone or any clones after that getting more adapt to conditions. But thats only my two cents. Good question though!! I like questions that need more thought than just water it more.......

That's a good question, Dr. G.

Considering animals (humans included) adapt despite genetics in many areas and ways, I would think that a clone could and probably would, too. Have you asked Uncle Ben, or someone else who's educated in general botany, as opposed to "just" growing one particular plant? I'd love to know what botanists would say to this.
