didn't get bugs.....yet
pulled clones the second i noticed spores of PM.

so consensus is CCC is BS, not to be trusted.

I'm not sure that what we're saying. PM is treatable with a simple dip in H2O2 @3%, or make some lactobacillus and spray weekly for a solid prevention method. H2O2 also contact kills the eggs, larvae and adults of just about anything and as a bonus, plants love it.

You can get the same shit from your buddy down the street. Do you know how many of my buddies ended up with everything I've mentioned and more from friends of friends, etc...

I'm not here to shill for any company, but the genetics, from my experience, are decent.

thats an easy remedy

Since this seems to be the active thread for clones, I'd like to leave a review for primoclonescanada.ca

I met primo on discord and sourced SFV, One Night Stand, and Marshmallow OG and he included a treat for me. It's been going great and the cuts are in quarantine right now, almost ready to exit.

Attached is a pic of 1 of 3 marshmallow OG plants doing great in quarantine. I owe buddy a beer.

I'd second primo clones for anyone looking for quality clones that are pathogen free. I grabbed a cut of Twinkle Tart to test his service (originally reached out about the Sour Diesel availability) and got a One Night Stand tossed in for free.

I ordered clones froCanadada clones consulting. Aug 17 they arriveSeptpt 28. They had been shipped by ups on Sept 21. Four light starvebarely rooted crappy clones arrived packaged in a zip log bag taped to the box with silver tape. were rooted in Rockwool. I'm trying to nurse them back to life under a humidity tent. The labels are as lame as can be. Hopefully in two to three weeks ill have a plant that can stand on its own. From now on I'm going seed only. Total waist of money

Sounds like a horrible company, sadly there's lots like that whether it's clones or seeds, sorry it was such a bad experience. For contrast I ordered from Primo Clones on Aug 21st, they were delivered on Aug 23rd packaged in a solid pastic container with some extra goodies including a free clone. Despite the clear deliver instructions written on the package the driver didn't bother to pay attention, failed to delivery it and created a problem as I wasn't around the next couple days. Without hesitation I was offered free shipping on the next order to compensate for the hassle of me having to go track them down. Both clones were health, well rooted in rockwool wrapped in plastic so the roots were white and healthy and had some decent branching already. One had no problem adjusting to the grow room, after a day or two under a bag to moderate the humidity it was fine, Twinkle Tarts took closer to 6 days but was also had more vegetative growth so would have struggled more with the 35-40C temps during shipping (of course I ordered them during a heat wave as I never do anything easily). For less then the cost of a pack of seeds I got a well selected pheno that matched the posted description accurately without having to spend the time growing them out. I was specifically looking for a good variety for extractions (bubble and rosin), so buying a clone I have a clear idea of what to expect without having to hunt through a pack or more.

Don't get me wrong, seeds are great for playing around, learning about the canna gene pool and it's varied expression and discovering new plants but at the cost of inconsistent crops with variable quality/yields/flowering times and of course the risk of hermaphrodites seeding your crop or having to deal with males if you're growing reg seeds. Clones offer consistency, known quality and can be dialed in after a couple grows with optimal fert/watering schedules to maximise yield/trich production as long as you maintain healthy moms and a pathogen free grow. Which is why the bulk of my grow is a half dozen moms selected to meet my needs with 10-20 seeds running on the side for fun, pollen chucking, looking for new and unique plants to use as Mom's. Growing strictly from seed is too limiting as it's a lot of work to find rare, unique, truly good plants that have quality effects, great taste and a decent yield which is why the "elites" are still kicking around 20-30+ years later.

from my experience stay away from CCC.

I never understand why clone companies don't only ship on Mondays. Most complaints are because it took so long in shipping and it caused issues with the plants. Always pay the extra for the fastest shipping.

It really depends on the weather I find, during the summer or winter with extreme heat/cold paying for next day delivery is worth it, during the fall or spring I haven't had many problems using the 2 or 3 day option is fine.

Same experience with ccc ordered Tom ford which turned out to be some commercial bud , pink kush was infested with mites , and worst of all apples and bananas was barely rooted which we paid 400 for didn't even survive I suspect they purchase clones off different people and resell them cause they all come in different conditions we called them up and explained to them the situation and after asking for pictures to back up the claims they agreed to meet up again to give another cut of the apples and bananas , when we got it again it was barely rooted and didn't even make it past transplant for the 2nd time and we just ended up giving up , I just don't think they have the experience to be selling clones and need better process , just sharing my experience

All four of mine from canada clones consulting had rotted roots and died

Well that sucks I have ordered from all of them ccc. Gta onlineclones.ca cheap clones. Ca and clone supper store.
-Cheapones. Ca is scam site sellinG the same stuff as ccc. But not sending out.
-Gta clones was good 3 4 years ago but gone down hill
-Canada clone consulting is a rip off of onlineclones.ca has the same strain same gardens choice but only 4 at higher price and seams to have alot of bad reviews. When I ordered their 4 pack the clones took a while to get to me last year and where in rough shape no refund no credit no replacement.
Clonesuperstore is alright but their selection is OK if you like mostly ethos ethos stuff never had any issues with them
But selection and genetics OK.
Onlineclones.ca have good customer service. They had some issues and seams like they got things going. Their
Ice cram cake is fire I thinks it's the real deal. I always get the 5 pack Gardners choice and they have a decent selection. I had issues before with them because shipping took a extra day and they where in rough shape. It took 2 days to get back to me and the customer service guy was on top of it. Replaced them because of the delay.
That's. Personal opinion on the l clone stores iam sure their are other ones but I stick with onlineclones.ca if their are issues they work the best to resolve them

I've tried clonesuperstore no real complaints other than they sent the clones in big rockwool cubes and I had to grow them out and clone them myself before i could place them in my setup. For this winters grow I ordered from firecutz.ca and so far so good. clones arrived healthy, pest free, and with no rockwool !

ATTN: update on Canada clones consulting. After some discussion with them, they decided to send me four new clones. The original problem was that they had been sent UPS standard and took a full seven days to arrive. Roots had rotted. This time they were sent via UPS expedited. The four clones arrived within 24 hours and had healthy roots. They were rooted in the sunshine mix or similar soilless mix. They all look clean and healthy and are growing upright. They were packaged in proper blister-proof packaging. They do read our reviews too, as they mentioned that they had read my previous reviews on them. I'm very pleased to let you all know that they do honor their guarantee and now feel comfortable recommending them to others. I'll keep you updated when they go into flower.

Yo! Can I get any info you have on the god bud!? Do you know the origins? How did it turn out?

Everything is looking super healthy, although I've noticed that the pink kush #1, wedding cake and the sunset sherbet all seem to be light sensitive.

Fingers crossed!!

Okay. I placed an order with C.C.C. tonight.
I will report back on how it goes.

Yesterday we hit -30 with wind-chill around Edmonton. It's like -5. Wayyy warmer. Shipment got delayed until this AM. I received tracking info. UPS says they'll be here tomorrow.

Will report back with pics tomorrow or so.

Clones were delayed a day. I expected to receive 4 frozen dead plants Received them today.
Put them into solo cups with a bit of coco and watered them in. I placed them under medium lighting. They look great so far!
