Best Nurseries in the US to Buy Real Deal Cuts but Don't Need a License to Purchase?

[Rabbi]

Hey gang. Jealous Canadian over here and could use some help.

Just looking for some of the best nursery suggestions that carry legit and real deal cuts of some of the classic strains like Blue Dream, GG4, pre-98 Bubba, GSC, Sour Diesel, etc, etc... But don't need a license to purchase from(I am a licensed med patient/grower but from Canada).

I am soooo tired of hearing about all these bomb ass clone only strains that I can never grow due to no access. I'm stuck ordering all these lame ass copy cat seeds that rarely turn out to be decent and I'm sure nothing even close to the originals.

I'm thinking about organizing a trip to the US to see if I can hunt down some these cuts, mail them back(hoping they'll make it through customs) and start sharing with other people here who are stuck dealing with the same deal(which is everyone btw lol).

When I look at the strain catalogue at places like "Dark Heart Nursery" it literally makes me start to drool lol. Unfortunately though you need a California commercial license to order from them I believe. I realize this a super long shot but if anyone is reading this that's in a position that could help me purchase from Dark Heart please, please contact me. I will literally fly out there if need be. That's how bad I want these.

But since I realize the chances of getting DHN are probably next to zero if anyone out there has a little more realistic suggestion to get my hands on some real cuts please let me know.

Thx folks.

there is a website to trade cuts from teh states. s t r a i n l y. c o m . there are a couple places can order cuts from LPs but not worth it for what they charge for a HP clone. also grey market clone houses in canada but i never ran into one that has uber elite cuts. also. can get 'canadian genetic cuts' from med man but expensive if dont want to order many and not the most trustworthy guy.

I am also surprised someone isnt capitalizing on getting cuts (most are in canada already) and selling within canada. but i guess most of the year there is likely alot of DOA

Interesting, thx for the info clearheaded. I'll definitely look into that.

Ya very surprised at the lack of options to get real deal classic cuts here. If you google it, theirs's literally zero options. If you google for the US, the options are so overwhelming I haven't a clue where to even start.

 

[Rabbi]

Some real interesting options on Strainly for sure. Kind of shocked at the prices though, didn't realize they go for that much. Do they cost that much at nurseries too or is that just more for poor suckers like myself who don't have any access otherwise?

Good luck Rabbi & I hope you can score something nice

Thx bro, appreciate it. Have a feeling this thread is going to end up being step one in a long journey.

DHN drops clones at 30-40 dispensaries and anyone can walk in and buy 6 per day per store.

they are listed right on the website, go to Clone Drops and see what's available today or follow them on any media.

you don't need a growers license to buy the clones, they are for home growers who are allowed 6 recreational plants.

mostly their menu isn't the old shit you listed but there are many other companies that vend clones in cali dispensaries and there are 4 illegal shops for every store with a permit still.

I always flew into SFO and bought clones from the big shops in Berkeley Oakland and drove up to humbolt to get more and different.

many can be packed into tupperware and put into checked luggage.

 

[clearheaded]

except different as in canada not super chill transporting plants through customs nevermind "illegal" ones. just need a buddy to help u out lol.. ya canada sucks for clones. SOME clones go for big bucks but once at clone houses they normally go for 10-25 bucks sorta thing. 100 -250 a clone is crazy but if compare to some beans 100-150 a pack its not that bad and KNOW u have a winner..

 

[planttechniques]

the problem with cali clones is none of the licensed nurseries are legally allowed to transport out of state by any means including planes, trains and automobiles (that's my shout out to your canuck brethren John Candy ), including shipping like usps, fedex and ups

until it's federally legal in the states the only way to get legal clones from cali is to visit and smuggle back, but once you're here in cali clones are about $20 USD for the elite cuts

I buy purple city genetics clones and most are the bomb, I'v been very happy with them, check my posts to see pics

 

[planttechniques]

I also forgot to mention that you don't buy these clones from the nurseries themselves, they use dispensaries as middle men to sell their clones and once you are in cali I believe anyone csan walk into any dispensary and buy six at a time from that one particular dispensary, then you just hop to the next dispensary and rinse, repeat

 

[planttechniques]

go to weedmaps dot com and you can see the clone menu at every dispensary in cali

oh for real?? K that's super good to know, thx for that info. That solves half my problems right there... The other half being how to get them back here lol.

Thx again for that info though that's huge.

Yeah I realize none of those places will ship here and I'd likely be stuck having to go there personally and try to get them back myself. Sucks balls that I don't know anyone who lives there(Cali) but is what it is though. If that's what it takes I guess.

Ya Chunkypigs just mentioned that. That's great to hear that.

K good to know, thx for the suggestion.

The main reason I want Dark Heart cuttings is so I know for sure that they're the "real deal". I've never been to California before and have no idea what places are reputable and what places will just say what you want to hear to get your money. I'd be an easy target once out there lol.

actually no,

very recently weedmaps was forced by the government to only list dispensaries that are legal and licensed

the licensing here in cali is VERY strict so if a dispensary is listed on weedmaps than you know they are legit and hence know that any brand of clones they carry are legit

a licensed cali dispensary would never risk having their licensed revoked by selling fake clones because many of these licenses can cost up to 1 million USD to get approved

also, there is something called METRC in cali that literally tracks every seed, clone and flower from nursery to dispensary so if you go to any dispensary on weedmaps you will be getting the real deal

clone guys have some good genetics as well as zenleaf

DHN grows mostly Humboldt seed company seeds I believe

Wow, I'm learning a shit ton in this thread. Thx alot for all the help guys. Things are very, very different here. So many of the things that are obvious for you folks are unheard of for me.

So are you saying that DHN doesn't technically have "real deal clones"? Like for example if I wanted the "Santa Cruz Blue Dream" cut that I keep hearing about, is that the same one DHN has or no?

 

[Tynehead Tom]

I'm in canada and it took me a good long while to get the few that I have.
They cost me 1/2 the transportation costs for a friend to travel down and back.
So nearly a grand for 3 clones. OGKB 2.0, GG4 and Mendo Breath.
Helps that I have a long time grower friend in fresno that assisted the whole deal.

How to get them back is not my specialty but the transporter mentioned something about carrying them in his prison wallet LOL

personally I would probably use a high altitude drone haha

seriously though..... our canadian Pink Kush , Death Bubba, and the lower mainland BC cuts of hells angels OG and Rockstar are on par with all the elites you mentioned.

Pop seed dude, find your own elites

I think DHN grows out Humboldt Seed Co seeds into mothers and sells cuts from those mothers but I'm sure they also have elite clones that come from mothers that they acquired as only clone because some elites were never available as seeds so IMO it just depends on each particular strain.

Gelato, for instance is big here in cali and I'm sure all the different nurseries that sell Gelato clones originally acquired it as a clone because there never was any seeds because there never was a male Gelato plant, it was literally a "one off" accidental mating between two strains and only females were produced (kept) from the offspring.

Also, a lot of the better nurseries in cali use tissue culture to "reset" the "genetic drift" of the clone and also to eliminate Hops Latent Viroid from passing on to the next cut.

Of course dude, I will ALWAYS continue to pop seeds, on the hunt for some new greatness(even if it's just new to me). But nothing wrong with checking out some of the US classics that I keep hearing about as well.
