I go back and forth between Ann Arbor and Detroit and it is a crapshoot. And the house almost always wins.

Are there any reputable clone vendors in USA??????????
- Thread starter Loc Dog
- Start date
not that im worried. as far as im concerned as long as i actually get it and its a decent strain that produces i cant really complain. its not like im ordering a pizza or something. for instance i just baught a chinese Rolex from China. the guy could of totally fucked me but i got what i wanted and everything is fine.i figure its just about the same scenario. if they are honest and dont take my money im ok.if its garbage guess i learned a lesson as long as i get it. i knew the risks
Seems like mostly sleazy scammers even with websites. Wonder if corporate cannabis or big brother is backing these sellers to spread disease everywhere, so only they profit.
NJ is worse. Still fascist laws for growing, with 5 years sentence for anything. Only rich douchebags that pay bribes for licenses can grow. Heard 3 times street prices in legal dispensaries.
yeah thats fucked
It is truly sad that no one can even name a reputable clone vendor, of elite cuts. How hard is it for someone to do, if you can get your hands on them, test them, and do not use crap techniques.
The teks I used were from post by Snype, who was close to as sterile as tissue culture. Before people knew that HLVD existed and fusarium was like aids, he knew everything should be sterile, and cleaned between plants. For aerocloner, he ran antibiotics through it everyday for 10 days between uses.
You would think search engines would return popular ones, and sleazebags would go out of business quickly, thanks to site like reddit. But the sleaze are some of the top results. Have found dozens, that look like they are all the same person, using the same basic look of site.
Dirtbags like mg1brands, have about page from the template they used, that are in latin. Looks like that POS is almost out of business, since can not sell clones anymore for $50, for strain that was $12K on boomfiya.
Others I have found while reaching recently can not even provide a legitimate e-mail address, and most only guarantee alive on arrival, or no pests or PM. PM is not something that ruins entire gardens like HLVD or Fusarium.
If I had any income, would buy from boomfiya.

If you don’t look beyond this forum or a google search, there isn’t much hope. Some of you long time forum members need to broaden your horizons through social media if you are looking for clone vendors. That’s where they advertise the most. Specifically Instagram. Otherwise your going to continue to get left in the dust
12 snips??? Can they be varied???
The $500 is crazy. I Would buy boomfiya if I had that kind of money. Really happy to get 4 top shelf strains since hobbyist

So… $40 per snip is expensive but yet, you want everything to be guaranteed clean from every pathogen , backed by testing and a certificate of authenticity? At this point, I think you just enjoy complaining
Allstars yeah you can get 2
12 of 1 or 1 of 12
12 of 1 or 1 of 12

Do you have any idea how much it costs to run a mother at the size needed to have enough variation for the market ? Between, testing, operation and all the extra time it takes to ensure there is no cross contamination?

Bro could have walked across the country and picked up plants himself by now lol .
Every single shit vendor sending diseased and infested plants was from google searches. Crooks like strainly, have a scam where the sellers offer deals, but there checkout does not work, or if order multiple items charged multiple shipping, so have to contact vendor who sends bill. Then when you get infested/infected god knows what the crap they actually sent is, since they know dead before flowering, strainly says you scammed them by not using checkout. Then no feedback allowed, which is why you see no complaints.
Prefer recommendation from someone here since 2009. One thing I hate about ICmag since site changed is no friends and list of them that were on to chat. We traded freely back then. Lost a sense of community with that. Used to spend hours a day here, no check in once a week or so.

If the forums weren’t so heavily censored, maybe community could have grown stronger. Problem is, sharing doesn’t align with marketing so here we are
.
In california lots of places selling rooted clones for $30. What does a clone cost? .25 cent rockwool and $2 electric and nutrients. Hundred cuts off mother at $100 $10K. More money than growing and selling bud. Most commercial growers are throwing cuts away all day. Tumi does HLVD/Fusarium for $40.
Thanks. Will check them out.

Again, you have no idea what your talking about. I covered this last year but you took nothing from it. Did you know sometimes it’s takes 3+ tests for hop latent to rear it’s ugly head ?
Do the math , that’s roughly $100 per plant and multiply that times say 50, because that’s the kinda inventory you need ti make it in the nursery business these days.
What about the sampling ? Any idea how time consuming it is to bleach between every cut and change gloves to avoid contamination. ?
What about when you need to take clones from all those plants ? 50 pairs of scissors ? disinfecting between each plant. Any idea how long that takes ?
