How much would you charge for clones?

whatever UK cut I got back in March. is total s***. about 7 weeks of flower now. and I'm ready to throw it away.

bummer, we hit 2 per light with her many times...

When I was buying them, I'd pay 5 bucks each if you wanted less than 50 but if you got 50 or more they were 2 bucks. These were just rooted cuttings about 3 inches tall, if they are vegged for a bit then ya up to 10 bucks each, but if they're just rooted cuts, 5 bucks is my limit, unless it's some government clone only strain.

Wow paying 20-30 for clones blows my mind! Around western canada the only time i'v heard of prices over 5 bucks a piece was for foot tall ones in 4x4's for 7 a piece.

On another note, i'v recently heard of people paying up to 3 bucks a day per plant for someone else to veg plants for them. I know someone paying 74 bucks a day for 74 plants, which is 518 a week..not bad for not having to worry about veg time. It would all depend on how healthy he kept your plants though..

Everythings relative. If you can sleep who cares

Damn $5-$2 per is cheap. Cheapest I've seen around here is $7 for rooted plugs that have not been vegged. I wonder if that cheap Canadian electricity has anything to do with it. California rips you off - I pay $0.35 per Kwh here.

It would really depend on the strain.. I club cut anybody can get would b super cheap.. But a rare hard 2 find strain would cost u more money.. Verified rare cuts u would b lucky 2 get it for $100 for a small healthy bug free clone.. There is no way on earth a grandaddy cut should cost the same as say Triangle Kush , Flo-Rida OG, or Animal Cookie.. Rare cuts will cost a arm & a leg if ur lucky enough 2 even buy 1.. & some strains juss ain't 4 sale no matter what price.. I have cuts that I could never sell no matter how much u offered me.. So depending on what cut ur trying 2 sell..

That's a workable business model. What's wrong with this?

KUSHPILES · Jun 4, 2013

My problem is not trusting someone else to have them ready how I need them.. but anything is possible. This would work good for people that don't want to worry about harvesting or the dank, just prep small plants for a few growers and your set.

all clones from the krinken are $8

if i potted them then they're $10 unless you gimme the pots back

i don't see how any strain is worth much more than any tomato plant (including san marzano tomatoes)

I think it would be more accurate for clones to be looked at more like orchids. You could get an easy to grow widely available orchid from Trader Joes for $8 or a rare and highly desirable one from a specialists nursery for $2,500.

those $2500 days are over

even the $500 days are over

but i'm not gonna argue if you wanna gimme that kinda $$$ for a cut - i just wouldn't ask for it ;)

KUSHPILES · Jun 4, 2013

Around here, the most desirable cuts seem to become the most common ones. I feel like we want to spread the genetics, not hoard them..

Those days are far from over. Cuts still get sold for 20k. I'm not saying I'd try to sell a clone for anywhere near this, in fact I've stated quite the opposite in this thread. It IS happening and will continue to happen. Weather anyone thinks it's worth it or not is irrelevant. It's worth it to some folks. Just look at the Starfighter auctions...

The Krinken · Jun 4, 2013

of course - but only because there's no shortage of idiots in this industry

girl scout cookies would've never been what it became if it weren't for those same idiots

The Krinken · Jun 4, 2013

when i see any clone, i see a tomato plant that has no tomatoes on it

if i take that tomato plant and make 30 clones and fill my garden with it, then what? i gotta wait for the tomatoes - see how they taste...and then what? i'll probably grow another tomato strain...

nobody's growing one strain anymore

the omni-garden went out with members only jackets and kaya's "snoop dream" quite some time ago

so no "one" strain is going to get you to the promised land

Hahaha what?

So if you do mono crops with OG you're doing it all wrong eh?

Also I don't see folks making 3-4k a lb with tomatoes. It's a horrible analogy.

you don't have the right cuts then. If you want a cheap clone they are there. If you want something better than expect the $$ to go up. If anybody sais they want a clone for 5$ from me i'll start laughing lol

I couldn't agree more. The moment various clones get monetized to such extremes, the genetic selection process for desirable traits goes right out the window in favor of chasing fashion.

But then the you're predicating the idea of basing the pricing structure on the potential income, and that just doesn't seem right to me. I see where Krinken is coming from on this, he's talking about actual production costs and recuperation of said costs, plus a little extra. Beyond that, desirability within the market should set prices.

I have yet to pay for a single gene, and I don't plan on changing that anytime soon. ;) Of course, everyone else is growin' the fire I only dream about (depending on whom you ask).

I've been reading this thread and wondering to myself, in what other area would we see pricing structures like this, that have less to do with rarity than anything else? Orchids may be a good analogy, but they don't grow like weeds and require a much higher level/degree of care, unless you happen to live in a tropical rainforest (like one of my aunts does, her greenhouse is FILLED with various gingers, bromeliads and orchids up the wazoo).
