You cannot be spared the possibility of infection by a local clone, for the record.
im going to say it again so please take heed, don’t come here and belittle people for trying to get clones, that’s not what this thread is for and you will catch an elbow!
There is a place for risk, personally I had a situation where I had to give up my library. Now, having spent years pheno hunting with very limited success for whatever reason, I really just need to have some descent smoke in my jars. Buying dispensary grass is more an affront to my growing heritage than trying to get a cut, trust!
I have healed thousands of plants over the years and fought nearly every form of pestilence, maybe that path is shorter. My line in the sand has been broad mite infection (if I see these it’s game over, begin again), I have been scouring these clones with microscope and keeping a very close eye. most of them I just got stable and took clones then ejected the cut I purchased, that helped to ensure if anything was lingering out of sight in root cubes that it wouldn’t get a foot hold in my space. religious IPM and not trying to rush anything has me 4 months in and I am about to make a flower run finally. If you have no established plants to loose it may be worth the risk!
Even for a cut like GMO, which I am happy to have and looking forward to. First run will be all cuts from strainly, GMO, lemon Larry, ecsd, and Bruce banner
or purple punch. Those last two had a poor response to a ph drift recently from not paying attention while building my new grow shed so we’ll see which looks most healthy to roll!
