I like getting cuts from harborside. Sure, I've had my issues as well: relabeled a strain or two, hermi AK, and once I got a querkle with some PM. Biut with all of that being said, buying the clones they have from a reputable provider makes a big difference. For instance, I have been happy with all of the DHN (Dark Heart Nursery) cuts that I've been picked up.
The way I see it is, I would waste a bunch of time sprouting from seeds and picking a good phenotype. It's much easier to pickup a few clones, throw one into flower to see what it looks like and mother the others.
I guess what I am saying is, no HS isn't perfect, but having a library of cuts available shouldn't be overlooked.
