This clone shipping
method helps us all share our wonderful strains of
cannabis. Especially those strains that are not
available in seed form anymore. This is my method that
should give 100% success ratio sending rooted clones.
Sending clones in this manner almost ensures that they
will arrive intact and not crumpled....
What
you need: 1- rubber exam gloves (don?t want
the feds knowing your prints)
2- VHS Cassette
protectors- I got for free from local blockbuster
3-
toilet paper or paper towel cardboard roll
4-
scissors
5- scotch tape
6- plastic baggies (I
prefer the sandwich non-ziplock ones)
7- larger
freezer bags- to put around cassette(s) afterwards
8- a padded envelope
9- FULLY ROOTED CLONES!
10- a water bottle of distilled water
Packaging: 
The first part is to take the cardboard
rolls and cut them to size. I like to use the cassette
case as my outline - decide how many will go in the case
and how big the cardboard must be to fit inside ?
remember to allow for some room for the bottom of the
rockwool.
After you have cut the cardboard tubes
to size, cut them down the middle
Now take a well rooted clone and put it
inside the carboard tube ? wrap tape at the top and
bottom to secure the clone inside the tube
Now take the protected clone and mist
the bottom and top of it.
(spoonta66) .... try using
an anti transpirant wax spray - it will make them last
twice as long.
Take a baggie and put the
protected clone in the baggie - with the leaf side near
the top/opening
Roll the baggie around the
clone. take the top.. fold down and secure ith tape.
Then lay the bagged and protected clone inside
the cassette...
Lay as many as you can fit
safely in a cassette case and then gently close it
down....
Video cassettes work great; the plastic
case protects the clones against damage and doesn?t
allow the clones to slide around much.
Finally,
I like to double bag the cassette cases to make sure no
smell comes out....
Tips:
I prefer USPS priority mail, it
is 2-3 days guaranteed and starts at 3.85 per package.
Overnight would work too.. I would NOT go slower than a
3 day method.
