Regardless of what the website says, I'm going to still get them tested to see if they are clean. I'm going to use tumi. I checked out this place's instagram and I'm fairly confident these guys are legit. If they aren't legit, this is one crazy scam and I'm never buying clones again.
Tumi is legit. Had 4 plants that looked really sick and test positive. Everything else clean. They give you very detailed numbers for how far along the sickness has spread. Take multiple petioles clippings and now they suggest you take a little of a top root. The roots give a better test result.
 
I retested AJN Marshmallow OG, Apple Fritter, Gelato 41 w/ Tumi and they all came back negative again. In spite of that, I can't recommend AJN because he has ghosted me on strainly after taking my money. The first order was quick and easy. I paid him for another order after the first went well, and he said the payment was received and he would reach out to me soon to schedule shipment. I haven't heard from him since. I've contacted him (very politely) each week since and not heard anything back. At this point I'm considering it over and myself scammed, but at least I got three clean cuts out of the ordeal.

Everything I've tested from Mesa Genetics has come back clean and he really seems to know/care about his genetics.

Have you emailed AJN or just messaged through strainly? I looks like Paper City and Mesa are the same account which is odd, not sure what the point of that is, both are pro members but Mesa has no listings, and both accounts gave each other a pretty long and detailed feedback lol.
 
I don't have AJN's email, just messaged through strainly. I know he isn't very active on strainly but it shouldn't be on me to chase someone down on another site. Honestly it was only 150 and with the rumors of the gush mints being positive, I'd rather just accept it and move on rather than throw more money at testing. I'm not here saying he intended to screw me over, but fact is he took my money and then ghosted me. Don't accept orders via PM on a platform if you don't use that platform, y'know?

I think mesa and paper city are opposite coasts, but I've never gotten from paper city. I'm 99% sure paper city is east coast because he got plants from the Chemdog drop at Canna Provisions in Holyoke, Mass. It does look like all of paper city's lineup is from mesa except the Canna Provisions stuff though.

2 confirmed positive test is not a rumor anymore. We had another person confirm he had given them infected clones as well in the past. There is also a review on strainly accusing him of the same thing. Wether it’s intentional or just negligence does not matter right? It doesn’t to me and I’m sure others feel the same. At least you didn’t get the cooties. It be nice if you got your money back but that doesn’t look likely.

I've used uncle bens before and they shipped same day overnight when I ordered in the morning...great packaging and shipping .....Gush mints, AJSD and PC3...have flowered them and they look like the pics of the strains.
Good to hear, thanks for the feedback.

Supercuts on strainly has HLV, when I brought it to his attention he asked me to send him the lab report, after sending the lab report he got all defensive and said he has tested over 400 clones over the past 5 years and is the largest clone supplier in the US lol. He claims to use MHVerify (a diy test), I talked to Tumi about those types of tests and they only work if the sample has a heavy viroid load, the methods that Tumi uses are about 8600x more sensitive. So stay away from Supercuts or anything else claiming to use an at home/diy test.

Time to test some mom stock looks like there is alot of dirty girls out there now days
Be sure to include some root hairs in the test. I spent $750 testing mom's and only included petiols only to find out after that root hairs included is the only way to get most accurate results. Now I have to either spend another $750 or just risk that things are infected even with negative results.

[/QUOTE That really sucks to have to do that all over again thanks for the heads up I did read that in the instructions put 3 hairs and 3 petiols in each test

Thankyou!! I'm pulling the trigger on getting my cuts tested. It's definitely worth it.

You could test 5 moms at once, take a root sample from 5 moms and place them in the same vial, if it comes back positive you know 1 or more of those 5 are infected. I say 5 because I think that is how many samples Tumi says you can put in the same vial..

@shorelineOG lots of people vouched for ajn. He sent the cuts that he advertised and did a good job of it but unfortunately for him he tested through dark heart like alot of other people and got negative results from gear that tumi with root testing is saying is positive. I bought mine because he showed his results plus multiple members here showed negative test results from his gear. So I can't fault him for that. But now that the root tests are available and its come to light some of his stuff t3sted positive I would hope he gets his mother stock tested through tumi.
As for not contacting people that's not cool.
I did talk to him on Ig about a month ago give or take and he said he had back surgery or something wrong with his back and that's why he didn't message me back a few times on Ig.

I have seen shorelines generosity and excellent customer service many many times on different boards. questioning his ethics or how he takes care of people after he has been doing it the right way for years is not right in my opinion. I have not personally ordered from him but I have a pack or two I was gifted because he gave so many freebies to my boy who ordered from him through strainly. Just seeing how he moves in certain situations makes me hold him in higher regard than a lot of people slanging beans/clones. All that to say I think we all agree him pushing back on a complaint about too many males in a pack of regs is not the same as someone taking money and not fulfilling their order.
