Feel however ya wanna, brother! lol Believe it or not, you have performed one hell of a service to all the OGers that want/try to send clones (or even cuttings) to their friends!! Especially keeping the cost down, lol
Pretty slick design @NDNCHILD gonna throw this one in the bookmark folder for sure. Cheers bud
Thanks, brother! @JohnnyPotseed
Always happy to help when I can! I didn’t think my simple “water bottle” would be so well received!
Bro this is absolutely brilliant !!
Shit, I’d put this up there with Oldtimer’s bonsai mom tek; extremely useful for the homegrower.
Muchisimas gracias, NDNCHILD.
Brilliant!! Are you sending them in a USPS priroity box? Ive have clones make it stuffed into a ziplock sandwich bag, but normally my clones are too big to ship that way. Seems like you figured out the ultimate-tekk lol
I think @NDNCHILD might be resting atm, so I’ll answer the question, just slap a postal label on the white box after taping it good with packing tape…
As @JohnnyPotseed suggested a USPS label can be created and placed directly on the white boxes I placed a link for. I chose these as they’re pretty durable and almost a perfect fit for the bottle. It just can’t move around much in there.
So far I have only used UPS. At 1 pound billable weight and the same size box each time shipping has always come out to 12.98. Considering I can put 3 rooted or stuff it full of cuttings I’ve been ok with that and haven’t yet shopped around for better shipping costs. Also… UPS just doesn’t seem to be too nosy. Hope you’ve been doing well! @BackyardBoogie420 been a few since we chatted! 🪶🪶
Well done @NDNCHILD thanks for sharing your technique! Great DIY
cool stuff. great ideas. thanks for sharing.

RIght on thanks guys! Sounds like yall figured out the cheat code lol. Clone sending has been a real pain in the butt for me in past.
Ive been doing pretty good thanks! Just always trying to figure out what seeds to pop next😆. Hope all is good on your end! Really stoked to see how well your grow has been doing.
Great walkthrough @NDNCHILD ! I think this is a killer way to send stuff. UPS has been delivering them so promptly, and that helps. I wonder if USPS would be much different?
The bottle when you pull it from the box, looks and feels like it was made for that purpose. Everything fits so nicely together and the foam plug hold all the soil and roots in place with no movement. I’m very impressed by these. Nice work and wonderful ingenuity friend.
🤷 You exposed my spaghetti.
Apologies for flashing your noodles my friend!
I’m happy to see you drop by and leave an awesome comment. Thank you!
@Rhino_buddy has been my primary real world shipping test subject! His generosity in sending me several cuttings to play with (including one of my favorites and long sought Blue Dream Santa Cruz cut) made him an obvious choice to send a few plants to. Thanks buddy for the hook up! I’m happy they’ve landed promptly, safely and are doing well for you. I have one more coming at ya probably tomorrow.
I would only ship using USPS. They will throw it in the trash and at worst send you a letter.
UPS and FedEx are privately owned and will alert LEO if they find anything that shouldn’t be shipping as they don’t want to be liable for it. Already know from personal experience
I only use USPS also

Thanks for the tip! @HolyAngel It would appear I’ll be rate shopping after all. 🪶🪶
There may be better options, but
will give a good discount shipping USPS.
Can second that! Pirateship is all Ive used to ship for the last year or two now. Been really solid and definitely cheaper than going to USPS yourself. Only issue is the bubble mailers and such. They don’t really have a set price for those and you might pay more or less that way. Shipping boxes tho,
