We spent four months ordering cannabis clones from 20 different websites that claim to ship live genetics. Some blew us away. Some were an absolute disaster. Here's the full, unfiltered breakdown — who earned top marks, and who you should skip entirely.
The online cannabis clone market is a wild west. Dozens of sites promise "verified genetics," "guaranteed delivery," and "pesticide-free stock" — but a lot of them don't deliver. Not literally. We wanted to know who was legit, so we built a test methodology, placed real orders across all 50 legal states, and documented every step from checkout to first root.
Ten sites made our recommended list. The rest either shipped dead material, never delivered at all, or simply didn't meet the bar we'd set. Below are the ten vendors worth your money, ranked from best to solid.
Ordered. Received. Grown. Here's how they stacked up.
The online clone market is still young, and not everyone in it has earned your trust. But the ten vendors on this list have proven they can deliver healthy, rooted genetics reliably — and that's the only thing that actually matters when you're investing time and money into a grow.
Our list of brands to avoid is short, but should be taken seriously. These were rated bad for everything from clones arriving dead and no option for a replacement, powdery mildew and straight up thievery when we ordered and nothing ever arrived.
We'll update this list as the market changes. Bookmark it, share it, and grow something great.
