    When is a clone a clone and not a cutting?

    Talking to a guy near me, he bought 5000 clones to have every singe one fail. On examination of them not one of them had a root!

    Heres my thought, it's a cutting when I cut it from the mother plant, it's a cutting when I put it in the cloning station, it's a clone when I take it out of the cloning station with roots and plant it.
    I think he should have got his money back, IDK if he did,,,
    How far is this from your thoughts?

    I agree they were cuttings not clones. How much did 5000 clones cost him?

      IDK about quantity discounts but they were $100.00 each to me, like I was going to buy any,,, I dont see the discount being that large, (he has deep pockets,,,) maybe half?

    Clones or cuttings, what ever you call them do not have tap roots. Roots will shoot out from the side of the stem.

      Your buddy got ripped off. Clones, cuttings, and starts are all the same thing. The producer needs to root them prior to sale.
      Clones with no roots are just plain branches. Period.

        They probably the same whatever you call it. clipping is another saying of a shoot that has a terminal bud like top cola and make a new plant easier from seeds

          Looks like we are pretty much on the same page! And some of these folks selling crap will go under!
          It is a new industry here, and mistakes are being made, my nephew likes oils, he went and bought some, luved it went back for more and it was crap! He got his money back, and the dispensary pulled the product, had it tested, results were all over the place,, sad!
