Comparing propagation methods for cannabis
Both tissue culture (TC) and traditional cloning produce genetically identical plants. Each method has advantages depending on your scale, goals, and resources.
| Factor | Traditional Clones | Tissue Culture |
|---|---|---|
| Cost per plant | $8-25 | $3-15 (at scale) |
| Time to transplant | 7-14 days | 6-12 weeks |
| Pathogen removal | Testing only | Can eliminate some pathogens |
| Equipment needed | Minimal | Lab, sterile hood, media |
| Skill level | Beginner-friendly | Lab training required |
| Scale potential | Hundreds per mother | Thousands per culture |
| Genetic stability | Excellent | Risk of somaclonal variation |
| HLVD status | PCR tested | May persist through TC |
Traditional clones are best for: most growers, immediate planting, proven genetics, and when you need plants ready fast. Tissue culture is best for: genetic preservation, massive-scale nurseries, and potentially cleaning certain pathogens (though HLVD may persist).
For most California growers, HLVD-tested traditional clones remain the most practical choice. Learn to root clones | Browse our menu
