I started doing it about 6 months ago and I’ve gotten addicted to it.

I clone to preserve my favorites. I have had my durban cut since 2007. I have had my Jillybean cut since 2006. These first 2 keepers are the backbone of most of my breeding. I only select winners for mold resistance to Seattle wet autumn weather. I take impeccable notes every year and have piles of lab journals. The ones for chemistry lab work great. I document annual weather, first frost, first mold, pm potential, harvest date, growth pattern, location in my beds, emergence of preflower date, height, and any note worthy colors.
Sorry to switch gears, but I know you are in the zone for this right now @Africanplainstrain. Taking clones and pollinating them as small clones for seed is what I do. Then I reveg them with the seeds onboard. Harvest the seed, and then plant outside or do a full indoor run with the reveged clone.
So, you have current gen (revegg), and the seed for the next gen in hand. Pop 10 of the seed. Then you have the next gen growing side by side with the mom. With me still?
You can flower 2 seasons side by side and save a whole year testing those seeds. To see a trend. Many seeds I make stop there because they suck and I throw them in the bird feeder. Many are great. I have found the more ruthless I have gotten at culling the better my seed stock has gotten. I have probably saved 10 seasons of growing pheno hunts doing the side by side 2 generation pheno hunts.
