He noted that plants (and there was a picture of a Russet potato) can be cloned indefinitely. Despite saying this, a clear pothead in the comments still claimed that "a certain plant" loses potency and flavor every time it is cloned. The idea that cloning marijuana repeatedly leads to a loss of potency is a myth that originated with viral infections in commercial grows, and has almost nothing to do with home grows.

Plants are different, they grow roots from cuttings without f...
