Cloning And Propagation
Cloning and propagation refers to the asexual reproduction methods used to create genetically identical cannabis plants from a parent source. Unlike seed-based reproduction, cloning preserves exact genetic traits, terpene profiles, and growth characteristics across multiple generations. Common propagation techniques include cutting-based cloning, tissue culture, and layering methods. Breeders and cultivators rely on cloning to maintain stable phenotypes, scale proven genetics, and preserve rare or unique lineages without genetic drift. This classification is foundational in commercial cultivation and breeding programs where consistency and genetic fidelity are primary objectives.

Breeders use cloning to isolate and stabilize elite phenotypes before backcrossing or creating F1 hybrids. Propagation techniques allow breeders to maintain mother plants and multiply desirable genetics for controlled crossing trials without introducing seed variation.
