How much would you pay for a clone?

[Weed-Luver]

in non mmj state like mine, before the economy crashed kill weed was as high as 400.00 oz.. since the crash and job loses, people here think twice before buying the kill anymore..mids are down to 80-100 oz and schwag about 40-60 and kill has fallen to 300.00.
i think people are aware of this and almost all the people here i know would rather pay 300 for ak47 than 400 for the og..
so in a way your right about being about money..
honestly around my way people don't really care what it is as long as the price is right..they could care less if its og, sd, ww, wr, chem ect...all about saving money to them..
sign of the times i guess...

Nothing from clone..come on ..

SHEEEEE IT!

SHEEEEE IT!

ok , i really didnt expect this to be such a hot topic, but then again i can understand why.

if it were me, i would gladly give a clone away. i deal with 16 at a time so i keep, or atleast try to, about 36 cuts or more at a time.

my growers spirit wouldnt allow me to sell a clone/cut. i think that it should be legal and free for all. i know a couple growers, out of what i know myself and one other person could be considered large scale and remember i flower 16 at a time, but then again i wanted the option to have my own smoke and sell some here and there if i need to ( as a grower we need supplies so thats pretty much what it goes to).

this cat has been on the job for years, weve seen each other her and there at work, the same shift will allow for that. ive been at that job for a good amount of time (too long actually) and pretty much as a smoker you can tell other smokers from a mile away, and he stood out like a soar thumb.

the dudes situation is his boy grows, has the space and the dude puts up the money for supplies and such you know start up costs. the dude smokes so needless to say the information that he tells me his grower friend tells him is wrong and as a grower i end up either finishing his statements or correcting them, most of our conversations are filled with the statement "yeah yeah, thats it, thats what he said" so im sure you guys know how that is to some extent.

i really didnt/dont consider BUBBA KUSH to be an elite strain. if i can buy a seed of it then its not that elite, maybe in the sense of quality but i dont consider elite in relation to availability.

so i tried to get the dude to tell his grower that there are many factors as to why 100 is not going to happen:

1- none of us have money like that, thats why were all growing, most of us are true smokers and want to have our own supply and are tired of relying on someone else for cannabis (the other large scale grower i know is on a hiatus, had to deal with some dealers and was quickly reminded why he started growing in the first place, it was an intelligence issue)

2-the seed thing is an issue, if i can get a couple seeds for 100 then whats the point of buying a clone from you? im a grower i don't know about anyone else but dealing with popping seeds is part of the territory, i have no problem popping seeds and picking out the good genetics

3- that shit is just bad karma, but then again if the cat is grower for money its understandable. the reality to growing for profit is the realization of "your market". if your market really isnt there then who do you really plan to sell these cuts to? i told him to tell the grower that these guys are seasoned and theres one other novice besides himself that may consider the 20 bucks, but outside of that, thats pretty much it! myself and the other "large scale grower" normally have clones/cuts on deck in abundance so he can keep it movin if its not attractive enough.

but we were both off this weekend, he hadnt heard from his boy so im still waiting to see what number they come up with, either way im good.

but to pay upwards of a g or g's for a clone?!?! man that shit better have golden stems and diamond buds, fuck outta here with that!! between 5-20 bucks should be the min/max and that should come along with a spliff sample or something, thats just good business to me, if your gonna go that route

 

[TruthOrLie]

If you can tell me it will never get PM or Spider Mites I'll pay $1000.

 

[MIway]

People don't wanna hand out there genetics because they're afraid they will lose profit plain and simple.

Dunno bout that!

I've given out a little over 50 fully rooted, 12" 'cuts' this month... for free, based on the fact that someone needed them, another was a super cool cat & I simply promised on the third.

Also have made a few on some others... so it all balances itself out.

BUT... some people deserve to pay for what they don't appreciate, and others shouldn't pay a dime for what they are willing to pay for.

AND... some people don't deserve the piss outta my dick were they on fire... and some people can't keep their word so long as it inconveniences them in the slightest... and others will fuck you over for a simple dollar... and...???


A lot of people won't get anything from me... not by a long shot... but it isn't money that primarily motivates on this factor... it's the quality of the person.

But I sure would appreciate the opportunity for some cuts... charge or not.

Just from my perspective... I'm not owed anything either, so it cuts both ways. People aren't born w the entitlement to anything... many ways to get the cuts, but no one is owed anything regarding that.

2cents seeing we're starting to question the motivations & entitlements of those that pass cuts... (me) ;-)

LOL, you cant get seeds of legit Bubba Kush. pre98 bubba kush is clone only. It is amazing and there are no seeds of it. Only s1's and those are never true representations of Bubba Kush. Apothecary doesn't have a legit Bubba Kush. GHS got their Bubba from apothecary. GHS's bubba is an s1 of a knock off cut. More than likely it is a cut from GHS and is only worth the soil or medium it came in. If it is a true pre98 out in New York then it could be extremely valuable.

 

[Yes4Prop215]

I saw some of that girl scout cookie tree at this club on ocean in the city, the name turned me away from it.. It's actually pretty good?

yea its pretty famous in the bay area...its not anything super special just a nice kush taste and some purple tint, and alot of rappers hyping it up. but its the only thing that is fetching more than 3600 an LB at san francisco dispensaries because it is so coveted......even OG kush is falling to 28-32 because everyone has it..

i just heard back from the horder who has it...he wants 5k for a tray of cuts, i hope hes kidding. its funny because i got cuts of OG kush and Cherry pie from this circle for basically 5 bucks a pop....

 

[FRIENDinDEED]

pssh yeah right!

pssh yeah right!

i hear ya bruh, but this cat im sure doenst even want to get into it like that. i hear you and reading up on what ppl have said about various strains i get it, but i doubt he would. and yes i will make that assumption before i even meet him. like i said in the original post, cats out here just dont really read anymore.

so its not mistake that what he has is no where near an original of anything, as most of them would tell you, the best it would get around here is " yo i got that fire son" and thats about it.

now if i learn that the grower happened upon a cut from someone else and it jsut so happens that it is then yeah, i would jump on it, but i highly, HIGHLY doubt it.

SIDEBAR: if you havent already watched the movie SQUARE GROUPER you should, its a must see for the young an old alike!!! i dont know how old it is but i just happened upon while searching for new torrents.


ill keep this thread up though once i get word from him, im actually kinda excited to hear

I got an ounce with the little ones...
And yes, it was fire.

If you have an opportunity to acquire a proven worthy clone i see no harm in paying for it if its whats required.
Its a choice you can move on, or not. Be glad you have that choice. Not everyone does.

NO ONE IS ENTITLED TO ANYTHING. Sorry.

Karma schmarma LOL

The one plant I spent $1k on paid for itself 1000x over is cash, new/better plants, family security, quality buds, and new found friendships. Im glad i wasnt cheap and on my high horse when the opportunity presented itself to me.

Complaining about cost of proven clones is like complaining about seed prices - you pay for selection and piece of mind...

Ive learned that most times being cheap costs more in the long run than forking out the cash for the real goods in the beginning.

But like i said its a choice you can live with, or without.

Me, id buy the clone and grow it out sell 1/4z for $100 get your money back and everything else is gravvy from there. Not a hard decision....

Good luck

 

[bad gas]

i grow whatever the guy at the dispensary wants to see in a few months. because i'm a friend of one of his friends, he sells me clones for $5 each. when i get around to it, i'll buy some first-rate seeds for me. i really don't know the local growers well enough to trade strains. i live in cali, but i still don't violate security. until this stuff is fully legal, i'm staying far into the stealth mode. so far, i haven't gotten plague from clones. have a nice day.

 

[longearedfriend]

@ greyskull... selling 1/4 oz for 100$ ?

then you would have to a be a small time dealer and dealing with crowds or only your friends

small time dealing is a big safety concern

 

[Yes_I_Am]

i wouldnt pay for 1 clone lmao, id be pissed everytime i looked at it no matter what the strain. if i had to pay for it id make sure i spread it far n wide for free, devalue it to the bastard that made me pay.

Thats true
Dude said only blooms 16 plants. Hes not pumping out warehouses of 25k+. Right?
So maybe the smallest he does is ozs to friends and qps and up for work...whatever/however with that set up hed still be able to recoup his investment of a measley $100 with a higher quality end product that he could realistically request higher donations (haha) for.

I understand about saftey concerns. But no risk no reward.
Hes already growing as it is
edit: and he said he sells a little too... so imo he's not going beyond the scope of what he's already got going on as it is.

Some folks do that
Sometimes even just to share
Sometimes things are just business -not personal.
Do folks have a hard time with that or what haha

 

[NOKUY]

i never pay more than 8 bucks each.....colorado market is saturated w/ clones

 

[numberguy]

You only believe in inbred lines? True they may be hybreds or even polyhybreds but a lot of seed is made from cuts.

 

[ijim]

To me procuring clones just to use as a mother take all the magic and adventure out of cultivating Cannabis. A kick as buzz is nice. But a kick ass buzz after trying this or that, experimenting and using what knowledge you have learned over the years having pay off, is a buzz of its own. And without someone doing all of these things. You would not have those kick ass clones that allow you to be on the fast track. Land race clones. I would pay for a pair of male female.

 

[mean mr.mustard]

Don't you want to haggle?

 

[W.Less Monk]

I never paid a $ for a clone and will never do.

And never heard about money for clones in the french community.
Always gifts or exchanges..

Well.. Please you all, share your genetics !!

 

[Stress_test]

I have bought a few clones of elite genetics a few times. The most I have ever paid was $75 for a TW/SS. I knew that the mother was one of my own clones though, in fact I taught him to clone and he is using an aero-cloner that I gave him. But my mother died and I knew that he depended on the money he got for elite clones, so I just bought it.

I have 6 different strains right now and I have a couple rules that I follow when I sell elite cuts, which differ now than before I was state-legit, and selling street stuff.
Before I would sell a 12oz. cup w/6" clone for $15.
Now I don't have room for anything except medical grade genetics and I get $10 for unrooted cuttings which I deliver to the dispensaries or co-ops and place in bubble-cloners, but I only get paid for those that root. I know it sounds rather risky but in my state it would be illegal to transport and sell 200+ rooted clones, but perfectly legal (state wise) to transport "plant material", plus I seem to be really lucky with my DIY aero-cloners, I get about 95% so it works out okay.

I do occasionally sell established/mature clones also, but they are in 1 gallon pots and over 8" growth and in absolute perfect health. These plants are unquestionably in perfect health and are thriving. Prices vary according to strain but average around $70.

I don't wanna ramble but I bought 4 clones a couple months ago and paid $15 per.
They were all stunted, all had mites and thrips and 2 had been cut from a plant in full flower. MAN! They are taking forever to re-veg! I would never have done it except that I knew all but 1 of the strains and where they originally came from (me). That guy just had a nasty, unhealthy grow op going on.

But here is one of my own $50 clones and a $15 weakling I paid for. I just noticed also that it happens to be a Bubba Kush.
These two plants are supposed to be 2 days apart, mine the 1 one the left is the youngest. So it really does matter who you buy them from.

I know several other growers who couldn't have risked buying these sick, stunted clones because they would just finish killing them off. I feel pretty confident in the garden and all I really wanted was the genetics, I can grow the plant from there.

I don't know what the laws are in NY but you might hone your cloning skills and do it the way myself and others do here. In most states plant matter isn't considered in the limit until it has roots, unless of course it's buds lol.

There are people who laugh when they hear some of my prices too, but let em go buy those infested street bagseed clones. My garden is as clean as a hospital room and my clones are all medical grade and elite strains that I have coveted, nurtured and loved into producing many cuts.
