STRAINLY

TheCutsClub Gushers (and 2 others -waiting on tests results) were dudded, runted, and sickly. Seriously the poorest quality cuts I've ever received. When I initially contacted them about processing my payment to complete the transaction, they responded within an hour. When I contacted them about the poor quality of their cuts I was ghosted for days. They did finally respond and they did send me some replacements from their sister site HM Clones and those appear to the doing well.
Just thought I'd give y'all a heads up because while they do have some pricey hyped cuts, their cloning technique as well as sanitation protocols need some serious work.

Repost from the HM thread.

Update - I've got a really busy day today so I'm going to type this in real time as I go. Hopefully it makes sense.

First -HM Clones has stayed in contact with me throughout this time. Big points for the communication!

A couple days ago they msg'd me to let me know a replacement was on its way, which I really appreciated because we're hosting a wedding today at the lake and the package would've set outside at my home had they not alerted me with a tracking number. I didnt plan on coming back to town until Monday but since I knew this was due to be delivered, I was able to make the drive in, pick it up, get it unpacked and into quarantine here at camp. (I like to quarantine away from my main grow areas.)

Unpacking -It was very well packaged with lots of insulated padding and the cut was well secured in a Clone Shipper. It looks super healthy! I dont have time to scope it today but will tomorrow or the next.

So far, I'm happy with how this has been handled. I understand it can be difficult to work the bugs (no pun intended) out of a new business. That HM is willing to hear their customers and work on areas that need improvements speaks to their determination to have a successful business with happy repeat customers.

Pics and more to follow.

Reading back on this thread find its pretty interesting when you got a large proportion of your stock from vendors with HLV including mama gunk and mainly. You dismiss a grower who obviously knows his shit and have the cheek to be condescending to him when people are currently leaving feedback on your profile saying you passed them HLV.

Seems everyone is passing HLV. First-class genetics, everyone on strainly is buying cuts from each other (vendors). Personally I'd recommend ONLY buying from tissue culture lab vendors like black sheep and dark heart and node labs. Oh and pink box also send out HLV too. Confirmed by testing.

( Rustles back open the half eaten bag of chips ) Carry on !

Didn’t hear that about first class, and where can I see the pink box test results?

And wasn’t long ago black sheep was slinging crap as well.

Not slinging crap just letting people know. Feel free to buy the clones and see your collections collapse.. Don't say no one warned you.

Black sheep has their own tissue culture labs. If they want to sling shit at least their cuts are pest and virus free. Unlike all the rest on strainly who all buy each others diseased stock and then sell it on without even flowering it. You look at the pics of pink box kush mints and gg4, look at first class genetics fatso also on this thread. If you delt with the viroid then you can see it a mile off. I emailed both for a response. Pink box admits to having no testing procedure at all, first class genetics won't even respond. But they do both very quickly give you payment instructions so that's OK.

Get Seeds and put in some elbow grease pheno hunting.... In the End you'll be so much better off... I haven't had any issues for years and just use BTI as a preventive in my IPM..... Only because I stopped bringing clones in ... None of the cuts I wanted would have ever stuck around anyways...considering everything that's Hype these days is str8 up Sloth from Goonies aka Gelato x Gelato x Gelato x Gelato

Real OG Kush still King of the Court .... finding them these days the real deal is getting near impossible ... you'd know if you have it because that's all you'd be growing

Yeah but even seeds carry viroids.
Plus.. You have to do very large seed runs to find anything exceptional most of the time
Yeah a lot of hype some of these cuts are certainly not hype and very unique. Especially in the taste department

There's plenty of nice kushes around.

The odds of getting viroids from seeds is so slim it’s not even documented really… clones on the other hand … str8 up Ebola Virus

flavors and colors don’t make it elite bro… how strong it is and how it makes you feel FTW… tons of tasty colorful 15 min highs out there… it seems a new one gets hyped up every month under a new pointless name… just like it’s 15 min high goes away fast… so does the hype around the new desert or retired NBA player

It's called Strainly not Haters lol. Only landraces that Jesus smoked are worth growing, we get it.

Was just saying before they started the TC lab, they passed out crap ie pests and mold. People change

Sweet calamus FTW

Close to 10% now with no means of testing. At least with clones they are able to test and eliminate it.

You can pop seeds for thirty years and never get a virus.
Many people are strictly seed growers for that reason.
Where do you get that 10% of seeds have viruses, what breeders? Never heard such bullshit in my life.

Do you mean there is a 10% chance of an infected mother passing it on?

Research has shown that there is about a 5-8% transmission rate from infected parent to seed. Breeders that have bred with infected mothers have about an 7% chance on average of transferring the virus. Again there is no way to test out seeds. Here is some research for you to look over so you can understand this "bullshit" better

"
Is HpLVd seed transmitted?
Yes. It is not always present in each seed from an infected mom but seems to be transmitted to about 5% of the seedlings. More research is needed for seed transmission rates."


"While seed production does not appear to be the primary mechanism for transmission, some researchers have shown that HLVd can be transmitted via seed at an approximately 8% rate."


"HpLVd can be transmitted by cutting clones with the same scalpel and through cross-breeding viroid-containing cultivars for seed production. In fact, it's now estimated that 8 percent of all cannabis seeds have HpLVd. "
