Thanks skellum, its a good idea to email herbalistics, i may give that a go.
In terms of your question, cuttings are an exact clone of the mother plant, as trichs are self sterile it is not possible to get pure clone seeds e.g norma x norma. So for the same genetics you would need a cutting. I assume these seeds are open pollenated, hopefully in peru! I will have to email them and enquire. Hope that makes sense.
