It is. It is indeed. But how much is it worth it to you to get a good cut? I drove to Sac and back in one day to trade cuts with another med patient. It was one of the best investments I have made into my grow. And every time I see a post looking for those same cuts, I smile. Not because I have it and they don't, but because I made the right decision, and my effort paid off in kind.
I am looking at taking another long trip for clones soon. This time it will be an overnighter, with a hotel room expense thrown in (in addition to the rental car), and I have no qualms or hesitation about going. I am just waiting for a good day on the calendar.
