Are Online Clone Sellers Legit? What Reddit Says
Reddit’s answer is blunt: some are legit, most aren’t, and the difference is checkable in five minutes.
Here’s the vetting checklist that shows up across the grower subs, consolidated:
- Real business, real website. No website + DM-only sales = walk away.
- Named genetics with sources. “Exotic gas” is not a strain.
- Ships rooted. Unrooted cuts in the mail die. Legit sellers ship rooted plugs.
- Pest and pathogen protocol. Ask about HLVd testing. A legit nursery has an answer — here’s ours.
- Tracking and a guarantee. If they won’t stand behind arrival condition, they expect it to arrive dead. Read our clone health guarantee.
We publish exactly how we handle all five — see our shipping and inspection standards. Sixteen years in cannabis genetics, real company, real address, real guarantee. Judge us by the same checklist Reddit uses on everyone else. For more context, read what Reddit reviews actually say about buying clones online and where Reddit says to buy.
Is it safe to buy clones online?
From a verified nursery that ships rooted plants with tracking and a live-arrival guarantee, yes. From a DM-only seller, no.
