I prefer popping seeds myself. I love the hunt finding those special 1 off plants. I don't have many clones from others. Just 2, Chimera and Appilaicain super skunk. I had White Truffle but culled her when I found Destiny from seed.
Wouldn't know until you pop them. Are you in the clone selling business?
Small nursery ere...can confirm...I’m not saying I think clones should be thousands of dollars but for you guys complaining about the price and think clones should be cheaper than a pack of seeds, maybe you should start a small nursery and sell for next to nothing. Report back with you’re findings
Small nursery ere...can confirm...
Most folks don't understand,
Pots
Up potting
light bill
water bill
other requirements of equipment
Ipm
Hlv tests
Nutrients
Healty plants
Discreet overnight packages
Labor cost to keep all that up
125 to 300 a clone is a solid deal in my humble opinion
I take a big of hit up-front but , doesn't outweigh the amount sold
Ie, 1000 for clone
Tissue Culture herif dirty
If not,after hlv testing goes into rotation to become a mom
Then ,upkeep,ipm Nutrients etc
Idk...there are some great vendors out there...
Gmo, farmer joe ,others..discord if your savy
But the love of the plant,outweighs the up-front cost and upkeep of clean genetics for access to anyone...

Most people don’t get that all that goes in to it. They just think branch and plug. How much can it possibly cost to make a clone lol
Free dumb is number 1Many of the people calling some of these clone prices outrageous know exactly what goes into it. Go to any Home Depot and take a look at the houseplant section. Those plants are all cloned and took much longer to bring to market requiring more time and costs. Rose plants, blueberries poinsettias, etc... all take much longer and are more difficult to clone than cannabis and cost much less than the crazy prices some people are paying for cannabis clones. I could list dozens and dozens of plants that require more effort, money, and time to propagate that don't cost anywhere close to some of the prices cannabis clones are being sold for.
So now that I've made a comparison of the cost to produce cannabis clones vs other plant species, what is the justification for the outrageous prices?
Perfect name and probably the spreader of infected clones, since he joined today. You want me to spread the pictures on every site I belong to???? What kind of loser sells known infected crap, and too much of a coward to deal with it. The owner used to put out videos on youtube, but probably too attached to crack pipe to do anything right anymore.I have a funny feeling this might be 95% of your problem with all these clones. What is your process after receiving clones?
If they sell clean plants, which is rare these days. According to Tumi, I think it was 70% of growers having 30% infected plants between fusarium and HLVD. It is hobbyists creating sites, not testing, putting everything in the same aerocloner, and infecting everything. Then using that garbage for new mothers.If you don't want to phenohunt your dream plant then you should pay what the guy with your dream plant asks for. Especially if it's not covered in weed cooties.
No, I don't think he even sells it anymore, and last I saw was $250K. Was down to $7500 soon after release for $10K. Now permanent chimera dozens of numbers with top going for $12.5K.All of his best are expensive. He sent me his Chimera clone. It is very good. A clone is worth what people are willing to pay. It looks like people are paying his prices. He still sells Chimera for the same 10K$. I've had it fir over 2 years now
I know there are many that do, but I am old, and have no desire to waste my life hunting for the new best thing. Would rather have something known good. People should not need a tissue culture lab to salvage garbage clones from miscreants knowingly spreading disease, but sadly that is where I am at.I prefer popping seeds myself.

It costs about a dollar after paying for genetics, plus time. Some of these guys use aerocloners, so cut, stick in insert, and done, so about a minute of work.Most people don’t get that all that goes in to it. They just think branch and plug. How much can it possibly cost to make a clone lol
Only someone as ignorant as MG1 would think a clone can get infected and die within days and be the buyers fault. Fusarium gets in through damage, no other way. So it happens when clone is taken and gaping hole exposed to all the disease in a cesspool of a grow facility. Stem canker signs of fusarium take weeks. This crap probably had HLVD also, since it snapped at canker from picking up pot 2 days after cankers were apparent. Gave this arse hole many chances to send something clean or refund, but he must be too busy ignoring everyone that bought his shite, to do anything.I have a funny feeling this might be 95% of your problem with all these clones.

I’d like to see you acquire say 50 plants. Setup a mother room / propagation area etc. lights, racks, dehumidifiers, mini splits, the whole 9. Quarantine them. Test them all multiple times.It costs about a dollar after paying for genetics, plus time. Some of these guys use aerocloners, so cut, stick in insert, and done, so about a minute of work.
I'm 70ish lol. My garden is what keeps me busy. It's not hard growing good weed today.I know there are many that do, but I am old, and have no desire to waste my life hunting for the new best thing. Would rather have something known good. People should not need a tissue culture lab to salvage garbage clones from miscreants knowingly spreading disease, but sadly that is where I am at.
