Beware Of Progressive Options Bad clones, Bad Customer Service
OLDMANJIM --
I would like to post my experience with progressive options clones
Went to their place last month got some clones with my friend who is new to growing, I am an experienced grower from norcal. I have cloned 1000's of plants myself, and I'm defiantly not new to growing.
They must have known she was new to growing because they sold her 24 of the weakest looking clones i've seen in my history of growing.
as soon as the clones got back to the grow location i noticed they all had purple stems (obvious magnesium deficency) try to give them sometime to recover a week later most of them are dead.... Drove back to Pacimoa (day after labor day, they never pick up the phone to say if they are open or closed, drive all the way out there and they aren't even there so drive 2 hours in traffic for no reason) to get them replaced after 70% of them were wilted and dead, and they refuse to replace them. They tell her to put them into soil and claim that they will revive themselves... soil doesn't revive dead plants!!! lol never has never will, besides, that defeats the purpose if you are grwing in hydro.
I did everything I could to resolve this issue before exposing their shenanigans on the internet. called, emailed
at this point i private message them to explain what happened hoping to get through to someone, I was appoligized to for I quote "being a dick" , offered replacements and told everything would be fixed. At this point I was a bit agitated that it took this long for the clones to be replaced after driving from venice to pacomia 3 times wasting more money, but at least the problem was solved... called to arrange for pickup of replacement clones and we were told "THEY CHANGED THEIR MIND"! are you kidding me?!?!?!!? im done with this place , and I will continue to warn people about their HORRIBLE customer service! Plus, the guys behind the counter were too "medicated" to remember to give my friend her reccomendation back and she had to drive out there AGAIN to get it back!!!!!!!!
So i will avoid this place like the plague and tell all my grower friends not to come here.... all they care about is taking peoples money.... low quality clones doesn't cut it in my book for 12$ a pop (which isn't even a good price for HEALTHY clones)
here they are a few days after they were put into the veg room (16 light T-5 badboy, drip system, 4x4 tray)
look at the spider mite damage, poor internodal spaceing, obvious SEVERE magnesium deficeny, and they were BARELY "rooted"
Here they are a few days later, dead as a doorknob!
(Jin's note: Yep, they look pretty dead.)
Just so you know I am not some noob grower, LOOK IN MY GALLERY! I have pictures from my previous grows, and even other clones that are perfectly healthy and happy with NO BUGS, TONS OF INTERNODAL GROWTH, NO DEFICENCYS, GREEN AND HAPPY
the PO clones nearly infected my healthy cuts!
I have posted about this problem before, and Progressive Options dosn't allow people who get ripped off to warn the rest of the growers out there about their low-quality clones and bad customer service. they only let their "friends" post pictures of the decent clones they give them ( i wish my clones looked like Gdoods did ) im guessing they dug up some special cuts for him and asked him to post pictures. who knows?
... anyway you've been warned. don't go there, and if you go there now, don't go there anymore they need to wake up and realize that you can't keep peoples money and give them plants that die. thats not what medical marijuana about, i could expect that kind of service from a sketchball but not an "established" clone nursery.
PROGRESSIVE OPTIONS --
We clearly addressed this matter over PMs.
So, you've killed your clones that were living as healthy as they can possibly be when they left here and we're being blamed for this? Actually the person that picked the plants up that is taking care of them.. ( you are not the person growing these plants, so please speak for your self, you have grown thousands, but not the person that picked up these clones)
Your replacement order was supposed to be picked up this week, we're all about handling difficult situations with the most humane manner possible. No one changed anyone's mind, instructions were given to her, and she was supposed to grab them Thursday.
Thank you for posting the pictures, we will not be putting any input from this point on about your grow. We'll let the honest growers of Weedtracker.com be the judges.
We're going to assume that you will not be picking up your FREE replacements.
Thank you to all those that support Progressive Option.
EDIT:
BTW these cuts are from the same batch as you recieved.
(Jin's note: They look pretty good to me. I think I've waited far too long to chime in at Weedtracker.)
Moral of the story? PO cuts NOT for beginners!
