My friend sent me this pic today of some clones for sale at a local garden center.
$20 CAD each.
Not something I would want to bring home

He is a grower, but he was there to buy some annuals for his mom and saw the clones.
He had to send me the pic as a joke, he knows how much I despise PM.

This is exactly why we have issues constantly and they keep changing their laws etc. Garden centres should not be selling cuts whatsoever. The general public has no clue about quarantine, IPM or even what PM is. And might be these regardless thinking itās gonna save time, and especially if they have no access too good genetics or itās labeled as something that is on their list, then they bring it home, infect everything and ruin indoor/outdoor plots all because a nursery decided to test the grey areas. 
this is why regulations and strict rules/protocols are completely necessary. Hell look at what the government thinks is top shelf aaaa craft cannabis!? Gahbage! Almost 85% of their menu is trash. We need to reevaluate, step back and start over, fresh. They created this insane influx of home growers in the last 5 years by releasing crappy, dry af, non potent mids at astronomical prices. Then they complain they arenāt selling enough and too many are applying for ACMPR licenses 
wow.

Iāve told the managers of clone shops when i see pm on clones. This example is especially bad. Someone there doesnāt know what the f*ck they are doing!
Most likely they are misting the clones (as if they are ferns or tropical plants). Of course thereās no airflow either.
Gross!

Youād hope that if anyone knew, itād be an honest to goodness nursery 
But then again I find fully rotted veggies at the grocery store sometimes 
But please enough with the rules and regs Hold em liable for damages caused by their negligent IPM and spread word of mouth, that should be enough incentive to get garden centers to do the right thing AND get the general public savvy about the issue. People are already used to judging their food at the grocery store - looking at the color, sniffing it, squeezing it - itās not much of a leap to check out their veggies starts, they just need to know the signs to look for.
The government solution would probably be individual lab testing of every plant and thatās just going to price out normal people from competing against walmart and burpee in the garden business, and consumers stay just as ignorant as they were before

Sadly most nurseries have no general knowledge of anything other than ākeep soil moistā itās sad really. At least in Ontario the few that I know that run nursery centres couldnāt tell you much besides names of plants etc, and the price of any soil or amendments, but ask what their IPM protocols are āhuh?ā Or ask what they do when plants have āpmā most will say put them to sleep, definitely not like the old days anymore where you could walk in and ask the guy questions and walk out with a wealth of knowledge now itās a shoulder shrug or āidk ask googleā smh
