They look similar. Maybe a seed run of the strain and not the appropriate cut. When you bought it, was it labeled breeder's cut? Right now it says "Relentless Genetics", not a specific cut. It's not good. I had a fairly large order ready for pink box and I am backing out. It's the lack of communication with you after the fact I take issue with.

I am not doing further business with pinkbox. I sent a civil email merely asking for clarification on 2 cuts and this was his response. No clarification on the cuts, simply:
"Cool, we’re not too concerned with the forums. Thanks though!"
Translation: We aren't too concerned with ripping people off. Embarrassing way to conduct a business.

Yeah it was labeled breeders cut, his listing on strainly says breeders cut as well. If I knew it was a random pheno he found I wouldn't have bought it from him. After he stopped responding I figured something was up. After this little debacle I won't be ordering from him again. It's to be expected to get burned when ordering cuts from random people so I'll move on. I got plenty of seeds and a few good cuts I'm happy to grow.

None of the stuff on strainly is really what is supposed to be lol prove me wrong. I know it's good weed but they aren't breeder cuts lol

This clone game is dirty. Too easy to lie and the temptation for a quick buck rages on.

I've ordered cuts that I know are legitimate. However, it's a shady place for sure.

Damn and he's selling it as the smf cut. Looks good but the guy really needs to stop putting misleading names on his cuts.

I wasn't really sure because it was only in one gallon coco and just started led so getting used to it but it barely stretched like my plat garlic did. It's definitely some kind of chem

Man did he ever screw the pooch with that fhckin comment!!! I womder if he realizes how much money he just cost himself ? The eveidence has been slowly stacking towards him not having what he says , but he still had the benefit of the doubt from me that maybe one or two cuts might have been not what he advertised them as , and that it may be an honest mistake .
But im so sick of getting ripped off dealing with clones , from exactly that type of guy.doesnt care if hes lyimg or not and doesnt want to know either way, long as hes makimg his money it doesnt matter how as lomg as its coming in.
And it is these type of guys that rip people off in this game . If he isnt comcerened about buisness from forums then who is he concerneed about ? THE NEWBS ,AND POEPLE WHO DONT KNOW ANY DIFFERENT AND CAN BE FOOLED EASILY INTO EMPTYING THERE POCKETS, THE MANY PEOPLE THAT DONT HAVE THE RESOURCE WHICH IS THIS SMALL BUT INVALUBALE. GROUP OF KNOWLEDGABLE LIKE MINDED GUYS WHO SHARE INFO AND WATCH EACH OTHERS BACKS AGAINST THIS EXACT THING , i wouldnt give this group the time of day either if i was on the scam trying to pull the wool over unknowimg peoples eyes and keep pumping out my fake cuts , if i were him i woukd actually pee my pants a little with the thought of having to try and pass my bullshit off here with you guys ,if i knew what i know about you all now lol

I am still trying to defend the seller. The GG4 posted here was having issues early in development. The Trop Cherry looks rather similar to the breeder's cut, maybe environmental. When looking at that GMO.. it looks like GMO in terms of that long internodal spacing and other features. You say it didn't stretch. Was it under any stress during the first few weeks? Why sell a fake GMO? That plant is all over the place. The real one is being sold by other people on strainly for sure.
If they aren't real cuts, all of these have something in common. They look like they could be S1s or cuts found in seed stock of the original crosses. The worst part of this is a lot of sellers sourced some of their cuts from pink box. Did he get burned on some trades unknowingly but other stock is good? Their selling point is 100% authentic selections. Their attitude towards what they call "drama" is suspect at best. People trying to verify a product via the original breeder is not drama.
"Absolutely, feel free to buy your cuts elsewhere. People talk regardless, we dont care or have time for drama. "

No it wasn't stressed. Here's my plat garlic that grew right next to it and stretched twice as much. I think it's gmo or gsc x chem d at least but not smf cut. I'm gonna see if a bigger pot and auto water make a difference next time

I did warn him that scrutiny was coming, he was confident! lol
For what it’s worth he has a descent reputation among folks that I know and trust. It’s possible he got taken as well but it’s his responsibility to do some due diligence. I feel that this community is strong and will judge correctly given time.
It is quite possible that that was just a seed selection, pretty positive that’s what rude boi was that he sold me! I’m very happy with the meat breath cut I got though.
That’s definitely not SMF’s GMO cut, it stretches like crazy even in veg. Still, that looks fire! Honestly it has a better structure! Platinum garlic looks killer too, good job @Gemtree!

Hate to burst a bubble, but pink is right? . The business from strainly and IG is more than enough to cover any forum business. Why most of those guys don't do boards anymore or have their own. They don't have to deal with noobs or haters. Keep rolling even if some think they aren't perfect.

True, but these boards can cost you a lot of money in the long run. I've made decisions on strainly members based strictly off RIU...Sometimes its not about the money you make, it's about the money you lose..

True, but you are only one on a forum most old timers remember as being well, not a very good reputation. If it was icmag or overgrow, meh, might be different.

Overgrow...Man, I miss those days...Back when we traded clones and sent em out for free....Met some good people, and aquired some bad ass strains...

Yup, my order was over $1,000 with pink box and I backed out because of this thread. With only a few of the orders he is going to lose out on because of this, the real clones could have been sourced by them multiple times over and this wouldn't be a problem going forward. Really poor business decisions, you can catch a glimpse of who isn't going to survive in this market. Right now it's fine, you can get away with slinging shit to people.
