I just want to thank you all for being the guinea pigs on this.
Please do share flowering pictures here. So we can see if they are indeed the strains they are suppose to be.

Cheers :)

If you check her instagram she has some of the cuts flowered out. You can also see she has a relationship amongst growers. I saw one message from Kyle Kushman stating she had the Strawberry Cough cut. Kind of gives you more assurance. Plus she gives you more of a back story on how she obtained some of the cuts. I asked one guy on strainly how he came about a certain rare cut he was selling and all he said was "The homie gave it to me" That was verbatim. I find more assurance in her operation. She not only seems solid ethic in business but also as a human. She is out in the movement giving lectures and helping others become better growers. I would say she is pretty legit and trust worthy just based off of this. May be a little careless but I can live with that careless. If I am going to give someone the benefit of the doubt it might as well be someone like her.

I can't wait until we flower these! Can't beat the price if they are good cuts. I'm slightly tempted to try the more expensive ones. Even at $200.00, one plant is going to produce more than that, and with the ability to replicate it indefinitely, the cost becomes less of a factor as time goes by. I recently went thru a 5 month process with the fake Wedding Cake seeds from Greenpoint. I invested all that time and effort and ended up with nothing to show for it. I paid over $100 for the seeds. The useless plants took up valuable space in my grow room. Sure, he replaced the seeds, but not with Wedding Cake, just one of his Stardawg crosses. If I had instead paid $200 for a clone, I would have produced a big crop by now and still have the genetics. If the $20.00 cuts are as advertised they are practically free!

In the same breath, the clones you receive may have been poor selections also. If you are buying elites, rad. If you are buying someone's selection from seedlines... you are hoping they did a good job, was their selection pulled from a 10 pack? If so, hardly a definitive cut of that line. Also don't discount the amount of bugs and disease that can travel on a clone. That can easily cost you 5 months of time. Just a counter point. Also, you should be able to use #mamafunk to find their work on instagram. Every one of my cultivars is heavily documented by many growers on IG.

that's what aromatic is starting to do, make seeds, then you see what seeds he's got, he's got cuts of that for sale. Not all, but his selection has dwindled from elites, to polyhybrids, looks like he's makin himself. I figure take a chance, be ready to dip clones when you recieve them if healthy enough, for bugs or pm, etc. I read where deeply rooted sent a cut out that had pm or some such disease. Bout fucked a guys expensive garden up. After they had had good reviews. Its all a pig in a poke, risk vs reward.

I unpack and dip everything in a separate building from my grow. I may be flirting with disaster, but we'll see how it goes. Thanks for your input!

"Wedding Cake, Sundae Driver, Strawberry Cough, Tiger Champagne, Gelato 41, Blue Zkittles, Lemon Royale, Banana Punch, Grape Ape, Rainbow Zkittles, and Strawberry Fruity Peebles. "

Gelato 41, grape ape are two long time established clones. But who did the hunt on these other varieties? Someone popped them from seeds, were they found from 10 packs? 100 packs?

The Strawberry Cough is the Kushman cut, the wedding cake is the Jbzee cut, the sundae driver is #19 jungle boys cut. The others I am guessing from seed searches or from other's cuts. They have some samples up on Instagram and the tiger champagne looks freaking delicious

My mantra is if you're willing to pay it then it's probably worth it.

I prefer them to be on the cheaper side so I can go through a lot. I have a very small garden with limited slots that I could fill up with OGs and cookie hybrids but I want the most variety possible. One OG at a time, lol, right now its LHB and I'm even questioning that. I cram all the new arrivals on one table and flower out my regulars on the other. I don't sell anything and there is no market locally for any of the cuts that mamafunk has, and plenty of Mainely's cuts are hitting the lower tiered shelves, too.

I also don't mind if they're 10 pack keepers, as long as they have pictures of the plants the clones came from. (which is why I think vendors like Burninbarz need to be chased from the scene. NONE of those pics are his). A lot of Mamafunk's are obviously keepers from seed stock--Oh, and a 10 pack keeper better be cheap.

In short--I'm cheap. Unabashedly so.

Some of her gear is from other people who grew it from seed.

Tiger Champagne, Lemon Royale, the Strawberry Fruity Pebbles, and a few others are not well known elites like her Wedding Cake, Sundae Driver 19, Motorbreath15, etc.

I suppose it takes a good deal of industry knowledge to keep up on it all.
