Explanation:

1- Trust no one.

2- HLVd tests are useless for all the reasons you listed above.

3- Image search the pics a vendor displays and verify they are not stolen.

4- Buy from vendors who post their own pics, flower their own cuts, and whose flowered plants look healthy. Ask hard questions and only deal with vendors who can answer questions to your satisfaction and who you get a good vibe from.

5- Quarantine your cuts and don't share utensils/pots/nutes until it is flowered and verified healthy.

This is not rocket science. If a plant you ordered seems sick or weak, be extra cautious.

I agree with this 100%. Well said! Folks....... People lie. A lot. Especially for money. You will NEVER know for sure if a cut is a clone only or if its been "tested". Any seller could lie to you if they wanted, and most are. Its even possible the sellers cut is better than the clone only! Just smoke some bud, buy some clones, live ur life and stop worrying about the boogeyman if you've never even seen him. Its very possible he doesn't even exist... Its crazy to me that people dont think anything of an unresponsive seller, which is a red flag for me..... But worried about a virus they never seen? If your plant has a virus it will be obvious unless ur a terrible grower! Ive bought off strainly since day one and havnt had any issues... if the plant had bugs I killed the bugs, if it grew slow I threw it out. But maybe if I worried about a virus the whole time things would be different?? lol....

for instance.... explain this... auntie jane says they do hlpv testing through darkheart nursery. Yet all their clones are from purple city genetics!?!?!?! Pay attention folks!! The math doesn't add up. In other words, their clones are not tested lol

"HPLvD testing done through Dark Heart Labs" and not one of their clones is from darkheart!!!!!! Personally, when I see someone say hlpv tested, it tells me they have had the virus!!!

Um what? Not sure what your talking about with that? Care to elaborate?

Dark heart tests specimens you send them, what does it matter if said clone came from dark heart or pcg? Does dark heart only test clones that have been bought from them? I don't think that's how it works.

You also see all the members on here who I have yet to see one say anything bad about auntie jane other than not getting a timely response, but have seen plenty of fire grown from his clones plus members have had some of his clones tested independently and come on here to tell us they were clean.

You went from being dismissive about hplvd even existing to being alarmist that AJN could be lying about testing for the same virus you dont believe in....all in the same post.

I think

I wasn't trying to say anything bad about auntie janes, I have no experience with them. It wasnt meant to be personal, it was an example. I said the bio did not make sense to me. So your saying that auntie janes obtains a cut, then sends it off to Darkheart for testing? I must be honest its hard to believe... and it cant be cheap. If they provide you proof of this then I respect it 100%. Please post it here. My point is that whether they test or not, you really cant prove it. Also, how long is a passed test valid for?? forever??

OK i gotta ask... do you work for auntie janes... you really promote hard for them

To me it would seem like a good business model to have them HLV tested(even more so when others on strainly don't), you could lie about it, but with an open forum like this it would quickly get discovered. You can fleece a sheep many times, but only skin em once!

If someone lies about them being tested... and the plants don't have the virus to begin with... there is nothing to discover! You simply grow and smoke your plants from the lying person!

Lol, nope just trying to point you in the right direction my friend. Wish I worked for them then I could get the cuts free:bigjoint:
In fact I'm waiting on my first order from auntie janes and strainly altogether, been pretty skeptical of strainly vendors to this point. But I have followed this thread for over a year and can see who gets good reviews in here so that's why I chose auntie janes.

As far as testing, well it's not just auntie janes using dark heart to test, pretty sure they are the leading testers in California but I definitely could be wrong.
And yes it costs money to test but its cheaper than having the virus and having to scrap all your elite cuts. As far as tests I'm pretty sure some places will provide a test if asked, not sure if auntie jane is one of them.

Here you go, went and found it for you.here's straight from auntie janes Instagram. Was thinking of asking about the test so went to look and see if they say if it's available and sure enough it was right on the Instagram page.


Ok now proceed with telling me I work for them, I'm ready for it....lol
At $25 a test it sure seems like it's smart business practice to have it done. But hey maybe that's just me. I like piece of mind, others would rather a 12 pack
