Seeds Versus Clones Tradeoff

Clones of a proven sativa cut save you the pheno hunt, but seeds bring vigour and a fresh root system that cuttings simply do not have. A seed grown plant from a good line will usually outgrow a clone of the same age, and it will not carry whatever pests or viruses the mother picked up over the years.

For sativa lines that are hard to find as cuts anyway, seeds are often the only realistic route.
