Ridiculous question... No, the one with an s at the end is obviously an S1.

There was zero description of any clones on that site or even saying which cut they had. Just a bud closeup and nothing else. The prices are cheap and all but I need more information before I invest the time and money to grow something. Hopefully they're legit and you all are happy with them.

They’re based in California. It wouldn’t be hard for them to hit up Buds and Roses or Green Dragon. I mean the clones there are only 18$. The same places pigtail resells from for 15x that. I’d try that before I paid 280$ for shipping.

That's true but I'd just like them to list where they acquired them. 20 bucks is nothing for a clone but 4-5 months of my time and effort growing it is worth a lot. I really do hope they end up great for you guys. It's just at my age you realize you only have a certain number of grows left in you and time becomes very valuable.

You are right. I started looking into them a bit more. This is their Instagram and I gotta say for me Veteran owned makes me want to support them. I sent a question to the costumer support and hopefully they get back soon. The IG is very reassuring though and my bets are on legit.

As a disabled veteran I always look out for veteran owned companies. It would be great to hear they sell legit clones that are viroid free for those prices. It would put clone only strains in everyone's budget. Thanks for checking Instagram, I think I've been on there twice. This place is about as social media savvy as I get.

Thank you for your service sir. I will make sure to update you as soon as I hear back from them. I’ll post it here as well too.

Here bud, this is the conversation I had with Alex of Calicloneco. I hope this helps everyone. I’m going to give them a try too. I have the pdf menu on the way. DM me if you’d like a copy when it arrives to me. Hope everyone has a good day as well. Their contact info is on their site.

I think they sound good for cuts other than the older heirloom strains like Chem, Sour D, pre 98 Bubba Kush and stuff that really needs good verification because of all the S1's and knockoffs. The modern cuts tend to not be copied as much from what I've seen and I'd have no problem paying 20 bucks for a pheno hunted winner from seed. Saves the trouble of hunting packs and that's a big issue in states with low plant count numbers like VA where I live. Thanks for doing the legwork, I'll be watching these guys for sure.

We are not the same person. Look at the reviews
He copied me and my layout. Also he’s in Cali and I’m in Michigan. Hate to shoot holes in your theory.

Their IG legit only have a few flower pics, like 7 or 8 flower pics out of over 300 pics. Mostly all just veg pics on their ig, even the flower pics look like possible screenshots and like 3 of the flower pics are all trop cherry. By the way everyone I know is over trop cherry, pretty looking bud but I couldn't even give thay stuff away for free....biggest complaints about trop cherry was shit potency and most I knew didn't like the terps or tired of them quick. Also I know the trop cherry cut that is widely circulated is know to be HpLVD positive.
Calicloneco could be legit only time will tell once you and a few others on here flower out the cuts. Their prices are great and it's what rooted cuts should go for these days. Most rollitupers are going to be skeptical of caliclones and rightfully so... in my tiny bit of research since yesterday didn't find much info on them at all. No reviews or grow reports on reddit or any of the other grow forums. I have to check out discord.
You should definitely keep a close eye on these cuts, properly quarantine them and definitely have some pest/pm maintenance/management ready to go. Also look for signs of HpLVD in veg and flower, the main being there's not alot of vertical growth especially once you hit stretch and flowered some, HpLVD plants will just grow horizontally outward and once colas are forming and budding branches and shoots will snap easily.
I wish you the best with your grow, please try and report back here or make a post with updates because I'm definitely curious and would also like to see if strains are really the strains they say they are, that's another thing I'd be a bit worried about.
Anyways here's a pic of a hop latent viroid plant in flower from over a few years ago. It had tell tale signs of hop latent with barely no stretch in flower and colas snapping like crazy later in flower. They all came from the same mother clone and some were infected worse than others, thus this is how HpLVD works. I was in a jam and needed cuts for a cheap price and got the clones from Maine clone co at the time. Once I grew them out and flowered their cuts I told them I suspected their cuts had some sort of viroid/dudding disease and they said they didn't know anything about it, (don't think alot of people knew about HpLVD at the time.) Well after this they obviously didn't hear from me as I wasn't going to pick up clones ever again from them, then I got a call from them over a year later and they said I was right about the viroid thing-they ended up trashing their whole entire clone stock because of a massive HpLVD outbreak in their indoor facility. HpLVD was on pretty much on all their clone strains. I have to add they did somewhat make it right and gave me a $2k credit to their seedbank- northalanticseedcompany for seeds but at the same time that grow cost me huge. I stopped growing for a few months and got rid of everything, my buddy got some cuts and it fucked his indoor grow also. $2K credit was a very nice thing to do and I was very appreciative but being honest their HpLVD positive clones cost me well over 5x that number in the long run, probably more.
Just be careful out there, for educational purposes here is plant in flower infected with HpLVD thay I got from the Mainecloneco. Its very noticeable, believe I took the pic right after stretch, 2 or so + weeks. Some of the other strains were even worse, they dudded out and were toast by day 45 in flower, just awful stuff, trust me you don't want this stuff in your garden. Sorry for the long winded post, just trying to share some knowledge with fellow growers. Last pic is a platinum cake which dudded out hard-it yellowed out very quick which is unusual, also if I even slightly backed into or grazed plant with an arm or leg the branches would snap like nothing.. the strain in the last pic didn't flower much more past that point in the pic, I chopped and binned it by day 45.

Main clone co was formerly called mainly clones in the past. They got a bad review and posted a bunch of things about how they got it from someone else. Always someone else fault lol. But this is what people do on strainly. They get some bad reviews to the point where people think twice before buying the. Change their name to make others think they are new to the site

I'm not sure if maine clones was the same, i always knew them as maine clone company, they weren't on strainly years ago when I sourced cuts, you could be right though. Regardless maine clone co was very sloppy, I'm pretty sure most of their clones came from seed packs they ran from various different breeders on their seedbank. No way these were well known clone cultivars that have been passed around, just way too shitty of phenos to be.
My theory, my friend thought this was the case as well- is they took cuts from of all the seed plants and flowered out seed plants to see which were females...once they showed sex that was good enough for them, no need to hunt for desired traits. Kinda, "I'm m sure theyll turn out all fire type attitude", lol. So by week 2 of flower all their seed plants are binned, they know they have female cuts they just dont know what type of plant and pheno it is, just the strain. Absoltuey no hunting for desired pheno traits. Basically they just wanted to identify the females and sell it's clones, never running them to see what type of phenos they got. They're the female seed's plants clones and if they're fems cuts they're good to go- out the door. Haha
I thought this because some of their cuts were absoltue trash phenos. They also had massive greenhouse and outdoor clone orders so im guessing they didn't have time to be hunting phenos. That's not an excuse though because if you're willing to sell thousands of clones you better do it right, half assing is not acceptable and just down right greedy.
In their facility I only ever saw veg plants(mothers) and clones, never once a flowering plants. I don't know it's just a theory. Hopefully they got back on track and figured everything out but still I would never get a clone from them again. I'm very stoned right now. Haha

Grew the Caliclone company Georgia Pie. It grew just fine with no signs of any diseases. I've never had legit Raw Genetics GP before so I dont know if is in fact real GP. Regardless of what it may or may not be it is some top shelf kind.

You have any pics of it? there's alot of pics and runs of Georgia pie available online you could compare it to, it's a chunky knoby gelato type grower from what I've seen. Georgia pie I'm pretry sure isn't originally bred by raw, raw jusy did alot of work with and made a bunch of gp crosses. Pretty sure original georgia pie was bred by jbreezy of seed junky.
