There is a major benefit to cloning.

Cannabis plants like to vegetate before flowering.

Different strains have different ways of reacting to light cycles.

Some strains may be fairly happy growing in a 12/24 cycle once they are rooted.

The majority of strains give best results if grown until preflowering under a Summer light schedule- (18/24 or more) before flowering- (12/24).

If you clone a plant that has reached preflowering the clone has the age of the parent. So you can put it into flower as soon as it has roots if you want.
