Keeper cuts and how breeders use them

Why one clone in the garage is worth a hundred seeds.

1 min read2026-05-2614 views

A "keeper" is a plant grown from seed that the hunter judged exceptional and kept as a clone. Every cutting of that clone is genetically identical to the original — same terpene, same yield, same finish.

Why keepers matter

  • Seeds are a lottery. Clones are a copy.
  • Breeders use keepers as the mother of every new cross.
  • Most legendary commercial flower comes from a single keeper clone, not a re-grown pack of seeds.
