I'm shopping around for clones and was looking for a heads up as to how much I can expect to pay per clone. Any feedback would be appreciated.

Damn I wish I was paying $10-$15..I dont have any dispensaries near-by so I have to get them from friends who grow, and I pay $30+....When I get them, they are pretty big tho.

there are no dispensaries in my state... in my state it is illegal as in most.

the way i see it, i place an order for a couple hundred bills and got the govn't letter. i placed another order for a couple hundred bills and got my beans. so i'm out about 500 dollars. then i would be the one taking the time to raise the little beanies up (good luck on germination rates with some seed stock)... then patiently growing them... then flowering them... then vedging them.... and cloning them.... all after being the one to risk getting it to my state to begin with.

if someone wanted a couple clones from me (1-4) there would be a flat fee: $500 dollars. good genetics shouldn't come cheap. they didn't come cheap to me. and when ur buying a sexed clone ur knocking about 4 months off the time its going to take to see ur first crop.
priceless. (and that's if i felt like doing someone a favor in the first place, and they weren't really a friend)

(EDIT) ... and people are routinely paying 15 dollars (up to 30) per seed... with roughly half being males and completely worthless. germination rate isn't always 100 percent... it takes electrical costs to raise the seed... etc. IMO a sexed clone is and should be worth far more than an unsexed seed. Ya'll are (apparently) getting a helluva deal from those dispensaries.

Are you serious? $500 for 1-4 clones? You're nuts! I got some Sour Diesel and OG Kush cuts for $15 each. They must have chitty genetics. :mrgreen:

not everyone lives in California.

i've heard stories of growers that were offered 20k for a clone and they refused, because they didn't want to share their genetics.

i'd be more willing to help someone that i know is just going to grow for personal, but if its business, why bother? the money is a pittance and ur just helping the competition.

if an ounze of the shite ur growing sells for 300 or more... why would you sell a clone for less? you are enabling that person to grow as much of that strain as they ever would want.

Maybe that's why California has so many great strains floating around. Maybe that's why strains evolve in places like California.

Think about this...what if a grower with certain genetics hoards the strain because of, well put nicely, greed. Something happens. Things happen. Growers crop gets wiped out. Genetics gone with it. Can he call his buddy across town to get a few cuts so he can start a new crop of his beloved strain? NOPE! All because he was greedy and did not want to share.

An oz. of my herb would have sold for $300 or more here in California and I've given clones away for free. But hey...different strokes for different folks. :blsmoke::peace:

I'm in the NC... and I ENVY you guys n gals in Cali and other states that have dispensaries that you can conveniantly get cuttings from! You guys have it so much better than alot of us. Starting out with seeds is really a pain in the ass and like said above... very time consuming! Share, share, share... just do it SAFELY! Don't be greedy with genetics either, some of us ONLY want to keep this for personal/medicinal use and have no intention to capitalize on it at all.

I think if I could get cuttings from someone or place reliable and safely, I'd have no probs shelling out about $15-20/cutting. As long as they come off a female plant and are still healthy!

With that being said... help a motherfucka out ;-) lol

keep a mother,and you can sell the $3o clones to them!
I pay 4-1o each for orders over 1oo theyre 4 a pop from my dood.
Get some hard to find herb u like and take clones of your mother plant.
A friend makes over 4o,ooo a year just in clones...
But even if just for personal a mother/clone set up is easy and well worth the dough you save.Good luck Hbr

For $15 - $20 a piece I'd sure give it a try. I would always be suspicious as to the genetic backgrounds however... you have no way of knowing what you are really getting.

If you are getting them from a reputable dispensary i wouldn't think you have THAT MUCH to worry about.

You in in a state that has a Medical Marijuana plan... obviously where something is abundant/legal it'll be cheaper. Go to the south, a pack of new ports runs like $3 head up to maine it's $7. Same idea with this, clones aren't abundant here so it'd be quite normal to see atleast $50-$100 for a good clone. Just my $.02

:? I know it's off topic...but why the hate for so cal?

It's not just you either. Just wondering where it stems from.

Did "we" do something to "you"?

I was always under the impression that we are all fighting the same fight:weed:

Keep smoking! bongsmilie:peace:

Things are getting a lot tighter around here (cali). Dispensaries are getting shut down daily. Not long ago, dispensaries were like video rental stores . . . one on every single corner. It's not like that anymore.

That's one of the reasons I'm here trying to learn as much as I can.

I wonder if Craigslist has any clones for sale? It couldn't say MJ so they would have to come up with a discreet description. Any ideas what that might be?
