title: I Want Clones Cannabis Nursery | The Source Story

Nursery
I Want Clones is a cannabis nursery built around one job: maintaining
verified, disease-tested mother plants and shipping their cuttings
freshly rooted to growers in all 50 states. This page is the story of
who runs it, how the testing program works, and why you can trust a cut
from our room more than one from just about anywhere else.
I’m James Bean. I’ve spent 16 years working with cannabis genetics,
and I got my start in this specific corner of the industry brokering
clones in Seattle back in 2012, matching growers with cuts when the
whole trade ran on handshakes and hope. I studied Plant Science at
Oaksterdam University because I wanted the lab knowledge to match the
street knowledge. Along the way I’ve built working relationships with
more than 100 breeders, which is what lets me trace a cut to its actual
source instead of taking a strain name on faith.
That history shapes how this nursery runs. In the brokering days I
saw every failure mode this industry produces: renamed cuts, mislabeled
phenos, pest-riddled trays, and lately the big one, hop latent viroid
moving silently through untested stock. I Want Clones is my answer to
all of it.
Hop latent viroid is the most expensive problem in cannabis right now
because infected plants often look fine while their potency and yield
quietly collapse. Our protocol against it has two legs:
Monthly PCR testing. Every mother plant in the room
gets PCR tested for HLVD every month, not once at intake and never
again. Results are published on our lab results
page, because a testing program you can’t see is a rumor.
Quarantine for every new genetic. No cut enters our
mother room straight off the street, no matter who it came from. New
genetics sit in quarantine, get tested, and only join the population
after they come back clean. It slows down how fast we can add strains,
and I’m fine with that trade.
Our 23-strain catalog comes from two sources we vouch for by name.
The ACC lineup covers proven, in-demand genetics like Gorilla Glue #4,
PinkRuntz, and Super Lemon
Haze, kept in constant production and shipped freshly rooted at
$98.88. The Clone Cartel lineup covers premium selections like Strawberry
Fritter and East Coast
Sour Diesel, cut to order at $250.00 with about a 3-week lead time
because those cuttings are taken for your order specifically.
Every strain page credits the breeder. If I can’t verify where a cut
came from, it doesn’t get a spot on a bench.
A nursery that ships nationwide has to own the last mile, so every
order carries a live-arrival guarantee. If a clone reaches you in bad
shape, the replacement policy makes it
right. Packaging is plain and unbranded, tracking comes standard, and
there’s no storefront and no pickup, just the nursery, the box, and your
door.
I Want Clones is run by James Bean, a grower with 16 years in
cannabis genetics who started out brokering clones in Seattle in 2012
and studied Plant Science at Oaksterdam University. Relationships with
over 100 breeders back the sourcing on every cut in the catalog.
Every mother plant is PCR tested for HLVD monthly, and every new
genetic sits in quarantine and tests clean before it enters the mother
room. Documentation is published on our lab
results page, so the program is visible, not just claimed.
From two verified sources: ACC, whose genetics we keep in constant
production and ship freshly rooted at $98.88, and The Clone Cartel,
whose premium selections we cut to order at $250.00 with roughly a
3-week lead time. Every strain page names the breeder behind the
cut.
No, we operate without a storefront and without local pickup, by
design. Every order ships in plain, unbranded packaging to all 50 states
with tracking, and the live-arrival guarantee stands in for the
in-person once-over you’d do at a counter.
That’s the nursery, receipts and all. Pick your cut from the full catalog or call 844-697-3337 and ask me
about any strain on the menu.
