Backing Up Clone Only Cuts

[justicebzwieg]

Clone only cuts disappear all the time when a grower quits or a mother gets pests. Crossing that cut to a solid male from a related regular line gives you seeds carrying half her genetics that keep in a jar for a decade, a far safer backup than a single plant in a tent. Male lines suited to backing up well known cuts are recommended on https://breederregularseeds.com, and the reasoning about matching growth habits made sense to me. The offspring will not be identical, but the family survives.
