Some of these sellers on strainly seem to think you're a bank, lending them money at 0% interest rates. You pay ahead and when they get around to it, months later, they might send your clones. I've made two purchases from well-known vendors that have stretched on for too long. Every other week, a small portion of my purchase arrives after hounding the sellers. A lot of "next week" that doesn't come, coupled with deception on why they aren't shipping. If you want to run a layaway system, state it in your listing. I can understand a few weeks delay on some of the selection but this is poor business practice.

I'd say, stick with the sellers that have a decent amount of feedback with a perfect to near perfect rating. Ask them what their return policy is and if they are not able to procure your item within an understandable amount of time, say a week or two, demand a refund and never look back. Strainly is still a great place to obtain "hard to find" and geographical genetics. Shake the fakes and get with the solid ones. I'm here anytime you have any questions. If I don't have anything that you are looking for, lmk what's on your want list and I may be able to point you in the right direction.

I'm terrible with clones shipped to me Tomi. I live in a hot place year round. I get them in fine shape, but as soon as I open the package and take them out they die on me. I'm not sure what to do once I get the clones. I'm thinking I need to leave them in the package for a day or 2 to get acclimated to my house. Then take the clones out and put them where they need to be. The only time a clone lived for me was when it came unrooted.

Cuts work great for situations like that or when the weather gets way too hot. Rooted clones, from my experience should be fine no matter the weather as long as they are package correctly or if that is not an option, placed into a medium such as soil or coco to protect the roots from drying bout during transit.

I can definitely see tempering as a possible solution to that. I'd get myself a propagation tray with dome and keep them inside, playing with the vents until they finally acclimate to your environment. Shouldn't take more than a week.

Use an ice pack if you're shipping in hot weather. Wrap the ice pack in a paper bag or some newspaper and tape it to the inside top of the box. Put some packaging paper around your clone carrier so it's not touching the ice pack.

There's also something called a Cryopak Phase 22 which when frozen absorbs heat, and when liquid absorbs cold. These can be used in conjunction with ice or heat packs, or by themselves if the weather isn't too extreme. They're often used to ship live reptiles, aquarium fish, etc...

But yeah, I've found that clones need to be well hardened off or they can wilt after the stress of shipping. Water them in after transplant, it helps prevent wilting. They wilt when the root zone dries out.

Talking about Strainly things... It happened to me that a vendor told me that my order had been processed but i'll would not recieve the clones whitin 20 days, because need to root them. That's ok, absolutely understable times. More on late, the vendor told me that it doesn't get roots properly so other 15 days... And this was repeated one more time so at the end the whole time was about 2 months.

Must to say that in every moment the treatment and communication were 10 over 10, as well all the cuts were legit. So, this is the point to me. If there is someone in "the other side" giving you info of what is happening with your money, it could be easy carrying but if not... Sucks.

I got my Mac1 cut from pinkbox along with a few other clones from their menu a few weeks ago. They survived the below zero temps here during shipment without issue and were healthy and well rooted upon arrival. Cant speak to if all the cuts are real or not yet but the overall experience with pinkbox was a positive one for me.

Did you ever flower the mac1?

Thanks MD.
I'd run with the Z3 as its a less temperamental plant than the original Zkittlez. Easier to grow, shortened flowering time, better structure, imho better effects due to the body kick of the Hindu influence. I feel like it is an improved version of the original in all aspects except for that original Zkittlez terps that it is renown for.

Z terps still come through in this or no? Might have to grab one.

I have a sad badness to report. PNWStrainHunter sold me a fake chem d. We shall see if he makes it right but as of right now the story is he got duped and is procuring the real cut.
On a side note, if you love a cut don’t take it for granted, take care of it and treat it like family. Might actually be hard to get back!

Yes sir, if you love a cut nurture and protect it with your life, I have learned this lesson a couple times over many years, and never got some gems back that I thought I would have in my garden forever

Yea, I'm sure a lot of these clone sellers don't actually run the cut they receive. They just mother it out, then take cuts n release em...I'm not saying it's shady, but it's kinda bad business unless you know 100% sure...

If it is a cut from a cut
It is still the same plant

His point was that sometimes people (vendors) will purchase a cut that they don't know is what it claims to be. They then mother it out, take clones, and sell them off without ever verifying that the strain is legit by flowering it out first or knowing someone who has flowered it out first. If I bought some random guy's wedding cake on strainly, and mothered it out, then sold clones of 'wedding cake' with someone else's picture attached, that's what he's saying. I don't even know if it's really wedding cake since I've never flowered it out.

PNWStrainHunter has a ridiculous amount of cuts available. Like I said before, it must take a warehouse just to hold all those mother plants. Imagine the space it would take to flower them all out. I understand that some people are lucky enough to have large facilities, but still.

Yeah, he has a ton of stuff, purchases some stuff off of strainly and also trades to acquire new strains, so you don't necessarily have to trust PNW but you have to trust the guy that gave it to him, and the 10 guys down the chain before that..

Yep. I've noticed several Strainly sellers getting clones from each other, and sometimes they mention where it was sourced from.
