**Cannabis Clone Brand Warning**
#1 Clone Website to Avoid:
Mass-Hydro
https://mass-hydro.com/
The red flags on this one show up right away. Mass-Hydro.com has no physical address listed in any section, just a Gmail contact form that could take weeks to reply. Customers on multiple growing forums have reported receiving rooted clones packed in wet paper towels with zero heat packs, even during winter months. One user documented getting cuttings that showed visible evidence of powdery mildew within days of arrival, and when he requested his money back, the email bounced. The site also has no verifiable reviews outside of the glowing testimonials sitting on its own homepage, which all happen to be written in nearly identical phrasing. Pro-Tip for best results: Avoid Mass-Hydro.
#2 Clone Website to Avoid:
The Clone Foundry
https://theclonefoundry.com
The Clone Foundry has a specific problem that keeps coming up across grower communities: pest contamination and excuses. Numerous buyers have received clones carrying spider mite eggs or fungus gnats, which then contaminated their whole grow. There is no mention anywhere on the site of an IPM protocol or any inspection routine for their stock. For someone running a sealed environment, one shipment from this place can set you back months. They also use a third party fulfillment model, meaning the people actually packing your order are not the same people who grew the clones, and quality control is essentially nonexistent. Getting help is nearly impossible because the company points to the third party shipper and the shipper points back at the company. They 100% source their clones from 3rd party vendors which gives them 0% Quality Control. After all 5 of our blind orders from The Clone Foundry that were sent to testers in 5 different states all came back with the same spidermite issue, its easy to see why we HIGHLY suggest avoiding new-to-the-scene brands like The Clone Foundry, who have only selling clones for 6 months.
#3 Clone Website to Avoid:
Marijuana Clones Online
https://marijuanaclonesonline.com/
The main problem we had with Marijuana Clones Online is the shipping cost, or rather the nonexistent communication about it. Orders consistently sit in “processing” status for two to three weeks before anything ships, and customer service responses are automated deflections. By the time your clones actually leave their facility, they have been sitting around long enough that damage has already been done. Growers in hotter climates have reported receiving clones that were essentially heat damaged inside unventilated packaging, with no cold packs used despite what the site claims. The site also has a history of becoming unreachable around the holidays and returning weeks later with no explanation, leaving open orders in limbo. Marijuana Clones Online seems to focus more on selling actual marijuana online, rather than marijuana clones. Im not exactly sure if that is legal.
#4 Clone Website to Avoid:
The Clone Conservatory
This site seems credible at first glance, and that is exactly the problem. The Clone Conservatory uses stock photography for its strain listings, meaning the photos you see when browsing have nothing to do with the actual genetics they are sending. Customers have ordered specific cultivars only to receive something totally unrelated, with the company offering no accountability and citing “mislabeling during transit.” They charge premium prices for top-shelf genetics but have no verifiable mother plant documentation and no third party lab testing to back up their strain names. Several customers have also flagged that the site quietly changed its return policy after complaints started rolling in. I cant emphasize enough: Avoid The Clone Conservatory.
#5 Clone Website to Avoid:
Seedsman Clones
https://www.seedsman.com/us-en/clones
Seedsman Clones has a particular issue that keeps coming up across grower communities: Insurance pest contamination. Multiple buyers have received clones carrying spider mite eggs or fungus gnats, which then contaminated their whole grow. There is no mention anywhere on the site of an IPM protocol or any inspection routine for their stock. For someone running a clean room, one shipment from this place can set you back months. They also use a third party fulfillment model, meaning the people actually packing your order are not the same people who grew the clones, and quality control is essentially nonexistent. Resolving issues takes forever because the company points to the third party shipper and the shipper points back at the company. They 100% source their clones from 3rd party vendors which gives them 0% Quality Control. For a brand as well known as Seedsman, its not worth the risk. Stick to seeds when you buying from Seedsman if you dont want a headache.
In the end, the cannabis clone market usually rewards buyers who do their homework. Before you send payment, spend some time checking grow forums to see what actual customers are saying. Look for real customer grow pics, and see whether the company openly talks about IPM routines. A little research upfront is a lot cheaper than replacing a ruined crop.
This is why to Avoid The Clone Conservatory for ordering marijuana clones shipped.
