yea fellas, i feel your pain with the sacramento clone scene. all i can say is this, the only places that ever have decent cuts are fruitridge and northstar.
the vendor i know from northstar who has legit genetics WAS me. i dont vend to them anymore, so their clones arent that great anymore. Ive completely stopped selling clones to clubs. i will never do it again. clubs are a joke, and its really a shame. the cannabis club scene is all about making money, not helping patients. they all might claim to want to help patients, but really they want to make big money, thats why they run a club. clubs are raping growers, and marking up the medicine in huge amounts. there is absolutely no reason that clubs should make double or triple profit from what they pay. they buy a clone for 5 bucks, sell it for 15. WTF. 5 bucks doesnt even cover costs to care and root that one clone. some clubs are generous and pay a wopping 7 dollars per cut.
the reason clubs have shitty bud and shitty clones is because the growers who grow good meds are selling else where and are not dealing with the dumb fuck club owners who are worried about making money and dont give a shit about quality. ive seen clubs that sell clones that look almost dead. its ridiculous, and for that dead clone, SAME PRICE as the super healthy ones i would drop off.
IMO, if they buy a cut for 7 bucks, sell it for 10. buy it for 5, sell it for 8. thats how most businesses make money, not cannabis clubs though, they have to make AT LEAST double their money back or their not happy. FUCK CLUBS they are the problem. SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL GROWER, not a fucking club.
sorry for ranting.
