I've been lucky I guess. Until recently, I've never asked for a cut. That was only because I lost my mother and asked several people I gifted it to for it back.
It's always been my thought that it is tasteless to ask for a cut. If someone wants to give you something , they'll let you know.
The names of elites are becoming meaningless as people are making crosses to elite clones and giving them the same name.
You now find hybrids called the same name as one of their parents. Even more, people are selling cuts made from these seeds as originals at dispensaries.
My best cut has not been hyped. It was found the old fashioned way. Someone grew out hundreds of seeds and found a great mother. She yields high, tastes great, yields great and is powerful. Pre 2k Blueberry. I never asked for it.
Someone named Steel Canaries tried to sell me cuts at ICfag. I told him to fuck off.
I would never pay for a cut, nor would I charge.
I've had one asshole berate me because I would not send him cuts to Denmark. He tried to get me to understand why I am obligated to send him cuts and why he is entitled to them.
Sadly, at this site, I run into more of that than the spirit of sharing and earning the priviledge.
