I do not consider it bashing, exposing foul business practices. My only speculation is that the clones are potentially fake and hoping the mold will kill and look like grower error, but both highly possible because of other unacceptable business practices. Not to mention purchase last summer from Ben's that sent 2 spot spider mites from warehouse grows and immune to everything. Lost $1500 in top shelf genetics, and a year of electric, time and results down the toilet. Finally gave up, threw all out, and took 6 month break with multiple bug bombs. Looked at only negative reviews from a year earlier, and same problem, same strain. Posted on ICMag about strain and mites from strainly, and got 5 PM's they knew what seller, since they had them also. Honest people can make great living providing clones without being scammers.
I am warning about sleazy business practices that strainly knows about and goes out of their way to protect people knowingly infecting peoples gardens with plants guaranteed to die long before HLVD would be apparent, and before the plants can be identified as not what they say they are. Changing names, not listing how long a seller is there, preventing legitimate feedback, allowing fake feedback, using an Indian Ocean domain to avoid accountability, aiding and abetting the spread of disease are all sleazy business practices. This is not 4300 posts about an even acceptable company but someone a legitimate seller would not want their name associated with. I assume there may be some legitimate seed sellers. Tumi now has Mother Plant test that tests for HLVD and Mold infections which is what they spread for $40. These plants were not victims of heat and arrived on 80 degree day handed to me by mailman. They use BS excuse it was the heat when the plants would have taken weeks to get to this point. Botrytis does not happen overnight. The clones I received were obviously old and since the mothers were infected, they were dying from bottom up. All they care about is the plants living for a day, then they can blame the buyer because it will look like root rot, but roots look healthy. The stem gets infected and no nutrients can get up stem. Notice how they removed 3 sets of lowest leaves since they were rotten, and how bottom of closest plant is turning brown fro stem canker, which takes weeks.
