Harborside.....Anyone else disappointed in their clones?

Picked up 6 clones 3 months ago.....
Jesus OG
Chem '91
Cannatonic
Alien OG
Platinum Cookies
Sour Diesel

They are now all approaching 8 weeks flower and 3 of them are not what they say they are, 1 is a very poor phenotype, 1 is mediocre quality, and 1 is very good quality but terrible yield.

How is it that the most well known, most well funded, and self proclaimed pioneer in quality medical marijuana gives me 1 keeper out of 6?
This is ridiculous, I don't know why they are considered the model dispensary when half of what they gave me has no resin gland production or smell whatsoever. Its like they don't even vet their clone vendors....
It's not right........I purchased a high-CBD Cannatonic for a cancer patient and now what I have is what looks like a hemp plant @ 8wk flower......

In the meantime all of my personal crosses, some of which are comprised of 8 yr old seed stock, are thriving and looking exponentially better even at 6wk flower...

Any one else have the same experience or did I just go in on a bad day?

I'd say a bad day.
I too have had miss labeled clones but turned out top shelf. Ive purchased maybe 50 clones over the years with only the one mislabel and an LA Confidential that was useless.

Sadly the average isn't that good with BPG, Pallitive, or GrannyPrups. (Just my experience.)

The best clones come from friends online. (And a big thanks for them!)

Should have joined the california thread. Many people would have told you not to waste your time with their genetics. Sorry you found out the hard way.

Daaaaaamn 1 out of 6!?!?!?

Ive have had bad cuts defiantly hit or miss there.

Ive had 2 strains that came out like garbage grew fine just now frost barley any smell.
white fire alien ( 18 in 12x12 pots basically worthless)
afgoo (12 in a flood and drain set up same story )

other than that haven't had to many issues with clones from them. (But I only get DHN or MO or SCM or PCG clones from them if i have to get babies there)

^^^^those 2 strains above were not labeled from any reputable vendors/nurseries

At least the cookies came out good! Was it a DHN or MO or SCM or PCG etc... if you recall.

I recently got seeds of Medicinal Organics:
Platinum Cookies
Platinum GDP
GSC (thin mint) so they say

Will be starting a journal on that once i get everything all set up again.

But sucks man thats some bullshit.....I know how it feels

Cannatonic - MO.......still going at 10 weeks, probably needs 2 more.......no smell, very little resin.....i doubt its really cannatonic.
Alien OG - DHN........also no smell, doesnt resemble OG at all. healthy growing and really good yield.
neither worth keeping. My personal crosses are infinitely better than what I got at Harborside...Maybe I should get in the clone business because it seems few take pride in their genetics....

The rest are not vendor labeled.....

IVe had great GDP and grape ape cuts from DHN but that was over a year ago. Thats fucking shitty man that you got bamboozled on those clones. Im sick of having to rely on luck to get a good cut, this isint the lottery.

Oh I bet they are! I feel the same way I have a bunch seeds and genetics from playing around. Way better in all aspects even the phenos I dont keep are better than cuts goin around.

Why not do that? it would be nice to have a honest nursery providing great genetics. I have contemplated on that very same idea before. Even have a name thought up. lol

You know the saying, If you want something done right you gotta do it yourself.

IMHO when you said you have no trich production on these had me thinking they gave you infected cuts with broad mites, russet mites, stem nematodes, or diseases such as pythium which is all pretty much a common thing up north but............the pics you show have nice trichs compaired to a dudded plant. I think if you have the room and able to give them another run I would feed everything "MORE" especially the 91 chem if she is real because she eats a lot of nitrogen cal/mag. Keep the GSC on a lower feed because they dont like as much phosphates and light as much as ogs,chems and diesels.
