Conventional Cloning
Conventional cloning refers to vegetative propagation methods where growers take cuttings (clones) from a mother plant to produce genetically identical offspring. This asexual reproduction technique has been the industry standard for decades, allowing breeders and cultivators to preserve exact phenotypes without genetic segregation. Clones maintain the same cannabinoid profiles, terpene expressions, and structural characteristics as their source material. The method requires established mother plants, rooting hormones, and controlled environments for successful propagation. Conventional cloning differs fundamentally from seed-based cultivation, where genetic variation occurs naturally across populations.

Professional breeders use conventional cloning to stabilize and preserve elite phenotypes during line development, maintain consistency across generations, and eliminate the unpredictability of sexual reproduction. This allows breeders to evaluate identical genetic material across different environments before committing to seed production or releasing cultivars.
