NO ! The real clone bank is @theclonebankusa , the one you’re talking about is an amateur drop shipper who copied the real guy , unlike the real guy who phenohunt la everything himself the clonebank you’re talking about sells terrible clones for less than $99.
I'm not saying anything positive about ANY clone seller, as I've never used any of them. But this post seems sus to me.
A quick Google search didn't pull up ANY site called "theclonebankusa," I only looked it up because I thought that it was strange that you didn't post a link directing potential customers there yourself. It brought up a bunch of other clone banks from around the world, just not the one that you specified.
In fact, when I forced Google to search EXACTLY for "theclonebankusa" the ONLY result was for the post to which I have replied.
Real sleazy clone seller market these days. Placed 4 orders in 2 months that had stem canker on all plants, so guaranteed to die. First 2 were seed canary and strainly, and they knew they were selling infected crap, since on verge of dying, and had removed 3 or 4 lower layers of leaves that had died. The other 2 had initial signs on delivery, and crapped out a few weeks later.
Big issue since most sellers guarantee they will arrive alive, but no guarantee 24 hours later and could have Fusarium, Pythium, and/or HLVD, although so can seeds. 30% chance of infected parents passing disease to seeds.
Has anyone tried mg1brands or getseedsrighthere??? MG1 pushes snips over clones, and starts every ad with no guarantee, which makes me think he gets many complaints.
It's not just clones/seeds that are suffering these issues. Weed in America sits in a grey market from the legal standpoint. Some states yes, some no, the feds still saying no. It has made the weed market, and its derivatives, the wild west. Counterfeit products, poor quality control, and greed are rampant in the industry.
I'm far more familiar with the counterfeit products than I am with growing supplies since I'm a new grower. But the last time that I looked, the "Glo" vape cartridges company had 7 "official" websites all going to different places, with different information, products, and lab reports. How is anybody supposed to be able to sort out all of the bullshit from the reliable companies?
Most people don't pay a lot of attention to news coming out of the Middle East. But for people that do, usually a few times a year, there is a story about how someone's tainted "bathtub gin" sickened or killed dozens or even hundreds of people. I reckon that it's only a matter of time until some tainted concoction being sold in weed's grey market will have similar results. Sure, weed is ostensibly safe. But depending on growing conditions, storage conditions, and the processing/use of other chemicals make the potential for creating a toxic product becomes far easier.
And, as long as the "THIS IS A NUTRITIONAL SUPPLEMENT, THE OPIONS HERE HAVE NOT BEEN TESTED OR VERIFIED BY THE FDA" warning label exists, people take the risks upon themselves entirely. It's good that forums like this exist for people to give each other a heads-up, but until stable and uniform quality control standards are set up, the problems will only get worse as more and more unscrupulous people try to get their share of this multi-billion $$$ industry gets up and running.
