I just finished my first grow last week that had 5 mother plants and 5 clones that went to flower. The clones seemed stronger than the mothers and the top buds were bigger and denser. Also, my mothers didn't tolerate the light as well as the clones where some of the top leaves on the mothers got pretty crispy, though the clones were taller and closer to the light. The buds on the clones were also more in line with the coloring of what I was expecting (Purple Kush). The mothers were topped twice and each time they showed a lot of stress, so they definitely had a harder time than the clones.
My question is if people are seeing their clones faring better in flower as compared to mothers? At this point I'm of the mind to simply take clones and flower just those. I'd hate to discard the mothers but I'm not sure I want to put time/effort/$$$ into flowering the mother plants.
