Can i clone a vegitable/herb plant without any adverse effects?

Question

i got myself some cloning hormone at my local garden shop, i've cloned plants before, but never vegetables or herbs, and as I was reading the instructions it says do not clone vegetables or anything edible. I was wondering why not? and what would happen if I did? would the vegetable or herb be harmful if it was grown as a clone??

Answer 1

It is common by artificial process like grafting or by tissues culturing.

Answer 2

The only adverse effect I can think of is the fact that the company wants you to keep buying their seeds. Cloning passes on the exact genetics of the mother plant so I can't think of a way this could go wrong other than greed.
