i've bought good clones and really really bad clones from folks since the law came into effect. Yep, I'm the new kid on the learning curve. To me, it's a challenge learning the in's and outs of growing the dif. strains. Best clones I've gotten were ATF (Alaskan Thunder Fuck) from my patient that brought them back from northern cal. and from Irielie (Jilly Bean).
Bad clones...OMG to many bad experiences to list!! But, hey I'm old and patient and deal with the good bad and ugly and keep the best and keep moving on.
I ran Blue Dream for over a year that I bought from seed from Europe. I liked it, my patients liked it, but when a grower friend of mine mixed mine with some white widow he had and came up with Blue Widow, we both like that and so do the patients. I'll run this strain until peeps want the newest bell and whistle.
All this fighting and arguing about strains and genetics is a waste of time and energy...be happy with what you have and leave those alone that are happy with what they have.
My patient and I went to Organix, and they have the same strains available all over the valley. They are higher priced than what myself or most caregivers would ask for donation, but hey, good for them if they have customers willing to pay it. What I didn't notice at Organix is info about seed to sale. Where did the plants come from, what nutrients have they been fed, what chemicals, etc. The dept. of health regs say they must do this...
It's been an interesting 1-1/2 yrs. of learning so far with many more to come...and I end 2012 alive, happy and having fun with my happy, healthy plants...I wish the same for others here..
