need for medical marijuana clones in norcal?

I tried once again for the 1st time in years to find some legit clone only clones through various dispensaries just about all across norcal... and the conclusion Iv come to is that while you may find some gems... its too few and far between and too up in the air when it comes to quality and actually being the name brand strain you bought. and in the rare occasion that you do find a gem, 5 out of 10 have pests.
now others here may have had different experiences... thats fine... and im not saying iv never seen a legit clone only grown from a dispensary.. im simply saying its hit or miss.. and i think this has to do with multiple vendors selling through a place that until recently didnt differentiate vendors and furthermore, for the most part, dont know much if anything about growing and cloning anyhow.
My question is, how many of you med patients out there need legit clones, and if you answer yes then my next question if there was a clone service run by a grower where you could get your medical clones direct, would you be interested?
dont hold back guys... if u think its a dumb idea let me know...
i just see the current options as shitty... either get a possible pest infested, unknown genetics from a dispensary that is all about changing names for marketing reasons, or shady, i dont know if ur even a med patient, growers from craigslist who could easily be a scam....

for those of you that were in norcal almost 5 years ago, youll probably remember a much different clone scene...
95% of the clones were absolute bullshit meds and totally not the strain they called it.... and i really think this was about trying to hoard the good strains for as long as possible so when patients tried theyre hand at a clone or two, it comes out as garbage, and whether the patient thinks damn i got ripped off, or damn im justa terrible grower guess thats why i stick to buying the pros stuff, theyre heading back to the dispensary to buy another 50 dollar 8th.
things have changed since then... but id def say to still watch out for shit strains from shady dispensaries.
anyway, tell me what ya think... regardless of whether or not u think there is a need for a medical clone service, there has ben a need for a med cuts legitimacy thread fora while.

from my experience, darkheart nursery was legit(atleast the chem4 was)... but you cant buy from them direct... have to follow when they make a drop at a dispensary and try and get there before theyre sold out.
plenty of bullshit too many to list... first and foremost prob oaksterdam cuts...maybe theyre good now but i remember back 5 years ago these guys were at the forefront of selling off shitty cuts. maybe theyve changed but theyre hand in spreading fake genetics makes me stay away.

Oaksterdam cuts were decent their green crack was legit sr-71 purple kush was okay. You guys up north have alot better options than we have done here in so cal. I'm actually thinking about heading up to the bay to pick up cuts Monday

Not going to lie it bugs me that in Cali I can't just walk into one of these clone nurserys and pick up GSC forum cut but patients in Michigan can pick it up in a club ...something ain't right with that
 
The funny thing is NORCAL no one gives a shit about anyone.

People need to quit clubs and go back to the barter system for cuttings.

I have a EZ cloner and have learned to become self sufficient now.

:yeahthats

Any of the Norcal guys I know will grow out packs of seeds, take cuts of all females before flower, and then drop off anything they wouldn't keep personally to the dispos. A lot of the club cuts are the shit that better growers don't want in their own gardens.

There is so much dishonesty with cuts that anyone can say that got a mislabeled clone from their guy or whatever. There are a couple clone vendors that have tried to get around this by creating a brand for their cuts, but those have been hit and miss in experience too.

Dark Heart Nursery (DHN) from Harborside or Medicinal Organic Nursery from Organicann are the 2 I have had the most experience with. Peace in Medicine does not usually have the genetics I am looking for, but I have had good results from anything I have flowered out from there.

Oh, and I always expect pests when I bring in something from outside my garden. I treat everything I pick up like it is completely infested.

I got a good G13 clone from Organicann and a good Trainwreck clone from the place on Cleveland in Santa Rosa, I forget their name.


And I bought a bottle of Safer's concentrate and used a 20 gallon Rubbermaid and made a dip tank for baby plants.

I don't like spraying Safer's on a plant after 2 weeks of 12-12, once it has a few pistils.
