hello everyone!

Sorry, might be a dumb question but...

what is the difference between selfing and cloning?

My understanding is that selfing is pollinating the plant with it`s pollen,
that way, you get seeds and can go flasking.
Cloning is taking cells from a part of the plant ang grow it in flask!

Am I right? If so, what are the difference?

Thanks

Claude

| Yes. I selfed it 4 years ago, but owing to a pH meter failure I

| The main plant is spiking again so I will be trying another selfing
soon.
