Clones are reproduced genetics that were clipped or “snipped” from an existing plant. When cloning is performed, it creates an opportunity to continue multiple generations from the same genetic. Cloning ultimately strengthens the genetic and eventually “peaks” to its full potential by the 5th generation when cultivated in the same environmet.

If you are unable to clone from an existing mature healthy plant, the only other option is to start from seed. Just make sure you plant quality seeds from a reputable source. Remember that females are the plants you want to grow, not males or hermaphrodites. Feminized seeds are an easy option if you are not comfortable with clones.
