maybe its just because of my experience shopping in grey/dark markets, but you guys are just flushing your money down the toilet. Why would people sell you elite cuts for next to nothing? Why would you just blindly buy a clone off a plant you've never personally seen/touched? How do you know the reviews arent padded? How do you know these people even know what they have, despite what they say? All these legit seed banks out there, with legit products and people are still too lazy to pop seeds and look for their own shit. y'all have WAY too much faith in the goodness of people.

Fuck, I bet by the end of the day I can have a vendor page up selling "elite cuts" from all over just based on some images I pull from google. If i advertised "peyote space gorilla #44" and photoshopped it to look pink at 2 weeks flower, I'd sell out by the end of the day asking for 20 a clone. totally a fake scam page and people will eat it up.

stay safe, do your research. if it seems too good to be true....

I agree with you 100%. But that is exactly what this thread is for. A place where people can give their feedback on vendors.
It also isn't about being too lazy to pop ones own shit. It is the fact of how much space, time, and plants one has to go through to find these cut only gems.
It is absolutely a prime website for scammers. But I have no doubt a few are legit as well.In fact I know a few are. Only time will tell about others, thanks to those kind enough to share their flowering experience with us here.

Cheers :)

I have it easy. If I want any cut I just swing by my old friends. Help trim up the never ending room of mom's and keep whatever I want.

Not saying this to be bitter, cause i'm not, but some of us gotta keep our operation completely under wraps. not a single other person I know other than my wife knows I grow, and I gotta keep it that way. I'd like to be able to talk openly about it one day, and meet others and trade, but for now thats not a possibility.

Man I gotta say that I have been on the“boards” (as we used to call them in the early 00’s) since 03’. I used to spend so much time and energy arguing with people about shit that doesn’t effect myself or my family . I was real big into powerlifting/strongman shit in my early 20’s and participated, and modded, in some of the most (now) well known lifting/AAS (anabolic steroids) forums, hell I remember when bodybuilding dot com used to have a whole section for steroid use! If any of you were in the same circles and I gave out my name I bet you would know me. The point I am trying to make is: this board is almost as bad as a bunch of juiced up muscle heads.... stop worrying about what someone else does, if it doesn’t effect yourself or your family.. let a motherucker be a motherfucker... its not worth it....For fucks sake

Well I started in 86 wasn't legal here until 2 years ago, we have been throwing underground get togethers since 07 handing out free clones. In fact I know of at least 2 big breeders that got their start because they left nugs n jugs with a tray of our clones.

But I feel you, the only person that doesn't know I still grow is my wife..almost the same :lol:

The truth as I see it,with the price of most seeds ($150-$250) a pack(10 seeds +)
It is becoming increasingly easier to just let the clone guy buy the packs,find the females..
& buy cuts from them for $20-$40.(as long as you "trust" them)
Now if they run them for a few runs,"weedout" the bad,then the price go's up..

Just how I see things going. It's not a bad thing really.

Strainly.io definitely needs to get better at weeding out the bad..

True but you know as well as I that making seeds is a lot of work.

All true. And you left out packaging. :finger: But one good seed harvest provides a ridiculous amount of beans. I don't deny the work, and especially the time, not to mention the work:eyesmoke:. Even so, it's a cool hobby, and the occasional gained ten dollar bill keeps my coffee cup filled and hot at Waffle House. :hump:

An overpay to some is a smart play to others.

still not legal here and i've only been doing it for about 5 years now. crazy how the time flies by, i still remember the stress from my first grow, trying to get everything as right as I could, haha. I'd actually be okay with something like that, because people would only know my face, not my name or identity.

I have some seeds I made in a chuck that I think turned out pretty darn well, I'd like to get them out to some people to grow and enjoy and breed with in the area, I know everybody loves the bud that has come off of it.

oh yeah, one thing about strainly that pissed me off...I saw somebody just flipping packs. They had bought some bodhi pack, and when it was unavaliable at the seedbed they listed them all for double the price.

i mean i guess thats savvy business, but it just feels a little slimy to be making your money being a shitty middleman that is totally unecessary.

That sounds more like a production problem than an ethical issue. If production kept up, that dudes investment would be flat. If the seeds are whack, maybe even in the negative. That's the gamble.
That being said, I am for the people who are actually trying to help the community, not make some excessive profit off of it. Which is why I am a big fan of Mamafunk and also @kaka420 because they are out here selling cuts for reasonable and accessible prices. The cuts are just as good if not better. We are talking about GMO, Sundae driver 19, Motorbreath 15, etc...... They have them on there for 20-40 dollars not 200-250 like some other vendors do. And they are legit cuts and solid people. Big ups to both of them.

Isnt that kinda the same as when someone sells a pack outta their vault they just aren't going to get to? Chances are it wont be sold for the same price it was bought as they are no longer available. And the more well known the higher the price will be. I havent seen alot of recent drops sell out and then appear on strainly for 2x the price personally so I doubt it will be a thing like concert tickets.

thats a good point. I guess I just dont ever buy shit I dont plan to grow. i'm not a bean hoarder so I dont think like one. I dont think I've ever had a pack sit more than a week before its beans get popped.

damn thats a big pile of garbage. greenpoint lol. good call on not popping any of those, i wouldnt either.

I have popped quite a few GP seeds, I would put his Cowboy cookies (GMO/Stardawg) up against just about any seeds out there. In fact I bet $1000 I could have shared 4 of the 6 fems called it GMO and every person who smoked/smelled it would have said it was absolutely gmo.
