I just made a trade with him. I’m due to receive tomorrow I’ll keep you updated, and I’ll be sending in hlvd tests soon after as well.
Thank you so much. Would love to hear what they look like on arrival.

OK, so he did a great job packing them. 2 day UPS shipping but it was delayed so it took 3 days. They're packaged really well and with insulation. Unfortunately I think they are all rotten from the heat AND moisture. The rooting plugs are 100% saturated. That's a big no-no when it comes to mailing rooted clones. The medium should be at the point where you would want to water it when you goto mail them. Clones don't transpire any moisture in a sealed package. When the medium is saturated it causes an excess of moisture and everything gets wet and the heat makes it rot.

It's too hot to ship clones where I live for about 3 months of the year. It's 98 today and heat index of 112. Even with two day express they just don't do well. I'm waiting for cooler temps and then I have a Blue Dream and Irene cut coming to me. Hope they replace them for you in a month or so when the weather is a bit cooler.

low moisture and overnight shipping is key to success in the summer temps.
The guy that runs strainly is true scumbag. Received clones heavily infected with stem canker which could take months to kill plants from Prestige clones. They cut off bottom 3 sets of leaves because mothers were infected and works its way up plant. They offer no refund even when 2 of the 3 clones were wrong strains. Offered to have me pay to reship more of his infected crap. Complained to strainly and all they care about is protecting vendor, and refused to let me leave feedback. Took 3 weeks of sending pictures and evidence which they did not even bother to skim through and blame me for everything. Went to order from dankyass and they are snooping on my messages and accuse me of circumventing their checkout system which is POS with no cart and adds $40 shipping for each clone when 3 should ship free. Pictures of stem canker from mothers he knows are infected and strainly could not care less. Also the person saying he acts like 4 year old is correct and 4 year old would have better site.
How is he handling it?? Also, if you contact, ask him to check "i-gram" written like that so not setting off red flags.
I received old clones from seed canary and prestige clones at strainly in July and both arrived heavily infected with stem canker which is caused by fungus infected mothers. They treat the mothers constantly but neglect the clones which could take upto 2 months to die. Mine were on verge of death, probably why 3 for $150 with shipping when usually charges $200 each plus $40 shipping. I am hoping dankyass is reputable, since great strains if they are real, for great price. I am banned there. Everyone worries about HLVD, but this kills quickly.

He offered to re-ship no questions asked, I have 1 that might make it out of the 6, and another that has probably a 1 in a 100 chance of making it lol. You want me to ask him to check your message on instgram, is that what you're asking?

Yo, discord is a honey pot waiting to happen. There's zero encryption, even on direct messages, and they save everything you share. You can delete messages one by one, but there's a delay, so it takes forever, even using third party software that does it for you.
I would not do buissiness involving selling clones, or anything the feds might not like, over discord.

Well most of what he send died, not sure if you saw my post after the one you quoted me on. Im sure they would have survived if it weren't for the heat. I have 2 still alive, one will probably make it, the other I'm not sure, the only leaf left that didn't die off is only about a CM long lol, but once the better one bounces back and I can take root samples I'll send them off to tumi and post back here..
Which vendor/s??? Lots of reputable sites out there. Half of strainly vendors are scammers or send infested/infected clones and strainly protects them.

first time I've ever seen someone using cans of soup in their grow, lol. "Soup, for my family" lmao
I am poor and use that and tuna cans to raise plants or lights in quarantine area. Should not be lazy and put some hooks on ceiling. If I had income would buy from pigtail gardens or straight from beleaf. Most of pigtails are from tissue culture, and if you lose a strain, they will replace with next order for free.
Think I will wait to see how you make out. I am wondering if he is selling infected plants also. HLVD is subtle and difficult to diagnose until crap results. Molds will kill within 2 months if not treated for mold constantly. The 2 batches I got were very old clones with visible stem cankers and would have died within days even if not shipped. I am on discord channel that sells clones and most are testing and posting results from tumi genomics. Some crazy people selling snips of crosses they made for $500 - $1000 plus shipping and some sane people. Have not bought yet so could be scammers. Dankyass has great menu if real, permanent marker, chimera #3, Truffle Treats, Queen of South, cap junky, if they are real and clean. homegrownursery is cheap but not latest clones.

Hlvd might be difficult to diagnose at first without sending samples to a lab, but upper root samples seem to be 100% accurate. Anything you buy should be tested at this point..
Only problem for hobbyist like me is Tumi only sells tests in multiples of 10 for $250. To be cost effective would need to split with someone. I had no problem for 8 years, getting GG4 from marrdogg direct. Then I got bored and wanted to see what was new
