Is it safe to assume that this can also be used to duplicate hybrid varieties ?
Absolutely, it's a great way to duplicate a hybrid tomato plant. I've done it in the past. Buy 1 hybrid plant from Lowe's, plant it and wait for it to grow, then start cutting suckers off of it and plant them elsewhere. It's also a good way to extend hybrid seeds, if you have a long enough growing season. Start 1 from seed, then take cuttings and grow those.
