Sleazy clone vendors are the majority now. Last year got spider mites from hell from Ben's nursery on Strainly. Noticed crappy leaf within hour of opening package and found them, then threw out. Seller swore up and down that they got into sealed bag in shipping. Reshipped and said they would have no mites. They had eggs so quarantined and treated every 3 days for 3 weeks. Month later they were everywhere, and were immune to everything from coming from warehouse grows. Wasted a year fighting them, lost $1500 in elite genetics, electric, my life, my mental health, and finally everything got botrytis from constant spraying. All that and nothing worth smoking. Shut down for 3 months, threw everything out, bug bombs, UVC light treatments, and decided to start over. Ordered straight from seed canary who sent old clones that had to be chopped to fit shipper, and had advanced stem canker from mold infected mothers and on verge of death. Tried to blame heat and sent pictures, then claimed it happened in transit, when stem canker takes weeks to get to that point and was working it's way up plant meaning either mother infected or tools used for cloning infected. Took weeks to get refund after blasting on discord and other sites. So they know they are selling infected plants. Strainly seller Prestige Clones, ditto. After weeks got money back and strainly refused to allow feedback. So they are sheltering spreaders of disease, and Vendors sign up one month at a time and strainly lets them reguoarly change their names and wipe negative feedback. Strainly has 4300 posts on RIU about there service with 90% or more negative. Wonder whetehr they intentionally sell infected clones that are fake genetics, knowing they will never live to make it through flower alive. Went with direct site, getseedsrighthere. Wasted a month of my time with constant going out today, going out early next week, and after a month asked for money back. Refused. Waiting for credit card company to get money back. So many sellers for reasonable price and great alleged genetics are pure scammers. Have found a few that sell to California growers, but not top shelf, mostly older strains. Truly disgusting with how profitable selling legitimate clean clones is. After getting genetics, test Tumi sells for HLVD, Fusarium, and Pythium for $40, 25 cent rockwool cube, about same in nutrients, and 2 weeks sitting on a shelf.
