Just stay away from Canada clones online. Total rip off. But even worse is the constant fucking U around. 30 plus emails. I wanted some clones not a pen pal. Excuse delay excuse. 5 weeks later. 5 day delivery. One dead. The others so stressed & ratty ended up throwing them out. Had luck with Primo clones. Have to wait for harvest. But so far so good.
Reputable and Reasonably priced clones in the Toronto area?

Nine Leaf Clover is awesome! I really can’t say enough good things about them.
The clones are legit, I have bought from them several times and always get product as described. They have clones for $25 or $30, and they are excellent, especially the pink Kush which they seem to keep, even though they rotate most of the other stock. You can pay a few hundred dollars for their high-end product like everywhere else, but it’s not necessary as their cheaper clones are excellent as well.
They often send extra just in case there’s trouble during shipping, and they are perfectly healthy and rooted. Their customer service is awesome, I got to speak with the owner and he answered every one of my questions expertly. I cannot recommend them enough, they even sent me clones in -20 weather and they survived with miniature heat packs.
I would recommend against the clones from the reservations, only because in my area they are kept outdoors, so you will definitely get some kind of bug with them.
Sorry if I am a little late getting on this thread, but I was looking for other recommended clone retailers in Canada just for more variety, and nine leaf is still the only one I’ve found with any positive feedback. Currently have my eye on their lemonatti. Still have a mother of their Runtz and Sunset Sherbet - both top shelf and both only around $25 each.

How do you do that?

You are near Toronto. Let us see what the legal market has for seeds:
The Ontario Cannabis Store has Apple Truffle Breath seeds at 4/$35.00. They also have modified Animal Cookies for $10.00 each (Ontario Cannabis Store Seeds).
There are many legal places in Canada for you to buy seeds at a lower price than 5/$150.

You can legally trade cannabis. If person A has strain A and you have strain B, then you can legally trade up to an oz, 28 seeds or 4 plants; you can trade more if you are in the medical market.

I grew from seed for well over 10 years. I went through hundreds of seeds. The last few years I grew from seed, once a year I would pop 40 or so seeds trying to find nice keepers, but I would find 1 nice keeper if I was lucky. I would find decent plants sure but I'm looking for the best, not just decent and there was to much non desirable plants for my liking. I would end up not even smoking most of it 
. Was really frustrating. In all those years and through hundreds of seeds I found a handful of real keeper cuts. Really disappointing to tell you the truth. I loved the hunt to find the gems but I only have 1 flower tent and I just couldn't keep wasting my precious flower space and time on plants that I wasn't going to smoke most of them.
So i eventually moved onto clones with much better results.
The way I look at it is, the clones have already been hunted and the winner picked. So instead me paying for a pack of seeds and having to search through it to hopefully find a gem(most cases not finding anything keeper worthy) i pay for a clone that hunted. There has been a few cuts i didn't care for but they have all been keeper worthy. I am very picky with the herb I smoke and some terps just don't do it for me. So I would move on from those cuts.
The majority of the cuts I've picked up i would say are really top notch.
But you have to be weary when ordering clones online. Hlv is a plague and for some reason some people don't test for it or don't even believe it exists. And you obviously need to quarantine your clones for at least 2 weeks after getting them to monitor for any pests.
My first order got me some decent clones from clone super store. I believe I posted pics and reviewed it on here when I had them. But to be honest they were just from seed packs someone else"hunted" and the keeper cherry garcia i had from my personal hunt was better in every way. So all 4 were run once. They were all decent plants....but I'm not looking for decent.
After years of searching i finally found a reputable source from the states that would ship to me up in canada. They had tested for hlv. But unfortunately they had the viriod. The person I got them from had leaf testing done which at the time was how testing was done. When I had mine tested because I thought my plants were dudding they had started to test root samples. Root samples turns out are very accurate compared to leaf testing. My tests came back positive. I ended up infecting all my keepers. Was a real bummer.
Tossed all my soil(3-5years old) pots and bleached tents and everything else.
The person who vended the infected clones to me shut down shortly after all this came to light, as I posted all my results and grows on here.
Took a little break and had found a few more vendors that would send to me, its damn near impossible to find those clone only cuts in canada, so have to find them from the states. Got a bunch of new stuff and now quarantine everything until tested for hlv.
Now that I test everything myself through tumi genomics it's been smooth sailing for a few years.
So my advise would be to do your research on who you get them from. A negative hlv test should be a must. Along with some decent reviews.
Just my 2 cents
Happy hunting and happy growing

In Canada, it is also legal for person A to trade an ounce of cannabis to person B for their 4 seeds or, as the case may be 4 seedlings. It could even be a requirement that Person B grow the seeds into seedlings for Person A. Canada has lots of options.
You could literally have a neighbor start your plants for you if you have trouble starting them. Not to mention, you highly restrict your strain possibilities by resorting to clones.

Not really getting your logic on clones restricting your strain possibilities.
With seeds you have to sprout so many, and most end up being undesirable plants in my eyes, with clones you purchase 1 cut of a strain that is the known best cut of the strain most times. So if you have no prescription you can have 4 phenomenal plants to grow instead of growing 4 seeds looking for a decent plant. And literally praying to get a real gem but you probably have a better chance at winning the lottery than finding the nest cut of a strain from 4 seeds at a time.
If you have the space to do at least 50-100s of plants than phenomenal hunting would be worth it but I don't unfortunately.
So instead I'll get known cuts and save myself a bunch of time and space on undesirable plants. Literally testing seeds pretty much. Most seeds packs are not uniform, you don't get the plant that's in the description most times. You may find some that are close to description but they are few and far between for my liking.
Don't get me wrong you can find killer keepers in seed packs. It just takes alot of hunting that I just don't have the time, space or patience for anymore. Not to mention the probably thousands I spent on seeds to find like 5 keepers over close to 10 years

I studied Logic. Let's use Modus ponens.
If one chooses to use clones, then there is smaller selection (This thread is sufficient evidence) There are a very large number of seed banks across Canada but you are having difficulty finding reputable clone companies, in fact, this thread exists because of difficulty attaining good clones. You are choosing to use clones; therefore, you are limiting the possibility of which plants you will grow.
Further, your reasons are fallacious. Firstly, appeal to false authority and lack of complete evidence. You have no proof that these clones are the best of each Pheno but you assume that because someone who wants you to buy that particular Pheno can claim any Pheno to be the absolute best at the exclusion of others. Secondly, none of the websites which you have provided state the qualities (THC, CBD, Terpene%) of these clones. You are just assuming that because the person who wants to make money decided to make money with this particular Pheno that it is the best phone because this person wants to make money. But, even if this information was provided, than this would be a generalization fallacy at best because If you change the growing conditions, then you change the final product.
I agree with the other person who said that you are simply choosing someone else's favourite (appeal to authority if the person making the claim has a degree; otherwise, appeal to false authority because you rely on the money maker to determine the best Pheno.

Well I personally don't have the space, time or patience to pay a breeder to test their genetics when I can get a proven winner with every cut. Could better cuts be found in the seeds, sure but like I said you probably have a better chance of winning the lottery than finding a better cut by popping 4 seeds at a time. If you can pop hundreds sure I get it but most growers can't.
And some of the cuts i have same from purple city genetics and node labs which literally hunt through hundreds if not thousands of seeds to find these keepers.
Me personally I just can't search more seeds and end up smoking 5-10 percent of my harvest cause the plants just aren't keeper quality.
Lots of people don't care about quality, to each their own. But I do so I choose to grow known keepers.
But hey thanks for your seed input on a clone thread. I'm sure if he wanted to buy seeds he probably would have said he wanted seeds, but he didn't. He specifically asked about clones.
In fact I believe he is kind of in the same boat I was in a few years ago banging my head against the wall growing inferior plants from seeds.
Anyway thanks for your opinion. But I believe will have to agree to disagree
I agree. Love the hunt. But takes time with seeds. Only problem with buying clones is finding someone who you can trust. Lots of issues such as disease & delivery like you mentioned.Used Primoclones. Couple weeks to go. Mac Daddy looking good. ThanksI grew from seed for well over 10 years. I went through hundreds of seeds. The last few years I grew from seed, once a year I would pop 40 or so seeds trying to find nice keepers, but I would find 1 nice keeper if I was lucky.

"Provwn winner" is a snuck premise. Sure it may look nice but 999/1000 plants with 24% of plants will look great. You are unable to establish with evidence that the "proven winner" is actually a "proven winner" and I have a right to refute this snuck premise while you use it as a defence. It is not a "proven winner" and you have nothing to establish otherwise. So, our point of disagreement must be that you are falsely claiming these clones to be "proven winners."

100% they all smoke like shit. Look phenomenal but smoke terribly, that's why so many people want to grow them after trying the flower.
I'm not knocking seeds if you don't mind the hunt and have alot of space.
If I had a ton of space I would run huge pheno hunts trying to find stand out mothers. But like I said I don't have the space. So these inferior clones as you think they are will have to suffice

Awesome, beautiful plants!
I also love to pheno hunt and the surprises you can get from seeds, but as you said this is a clone thread, and it seems to me that guy just wants to argue for no reason. If those wicked pictures don’t shut him up nothing will, lol!

Pretty sure you still don’t get it, OP does not want seeds, period!
The seeds in the Ontario government site are limited to a selection of 5 (oh how they spoil us, lol!), and none of them are from any breeders or seed banks that I recognize. I’m not saying I know every single breeder or seed bank but I’ve never come across those names on any previous searches in the last 20 years, so how likely is it that you will get prize winning genetics there? The $150 seeds per pack are almost definitely from some well-known breeder, but anyone with experience can tell you that’s still no guarantee you’ll get a great plant in any of those seeds either.
Instead of picking at the logic or arguing about cost per seed etc., why not be helpful and answer the question? Provide the name of a reliable clone retailer, or keep your comments to yourself if they’re just not helpful or completely off-topic.
Been a seed guy forever........But A good clone is a good clone no matter the number of cuts. Still pop seeds. But there is a reason some clone cuts sell for thousands of dollars. All the work has been done.The catch is to find someone who is honest. Been happy with some & not happy with others. Same with the seed companies. Some are good.Others suck.So in closing. If you find a proven winner(seed or clone) & clone it. Then yes each time you will have a proven winner. Unless it's genetics somehow morph into something else..........OHHHHH Spookkky/must be that time of year
