A few pics…this is #2, all four have a strong odor. One thing I noticed is that all of them had hollow stems. Did you see this as well on you’d VG or did mine have some sort of nutrient deficiency or imbalance you think?

Hey unreg, at least one of my two had hollow stems, yours look good. Nice to see they all have the large resin glands and good coverage.

First of all hello VG
i have been a big fan of your genetics and craft for many years now it’s a pleasure to actually see your strains being grown from the beginning to the end with updates all the way a long with you like we are joining you on your journey and the plants look gorgeous. Hats of to you my friend. For all you have done for masses and spreading amazing genetics and keeping this amazing specimen of a plant alive and bringing it back for the people this is my desert island smoke. Lol.
I can’t believe I have come across THE white rhino from north London I have been searching for this strain since 2003 I used to get her from 1999-2003 but in south London only 1 grower had it and would never let a cut go lol I have never seen her since I have literally tried hundreds of white rhino seeds trying to find her from every company or breeder from under the sun even Shantibabas medicine man the original parents to white rhino from 1996 and nirvana’s version, bc bud depots albino rhino I’ve tied them all and I have been hunting this stain still till this day with no hope I have never gave up and am still searching for her and I came across your post will you be bringing some of these seeds out?
Will they be going to seedbay and retail breeders?

As I would cut one of my limbs off for just one of these lol just to even be able to have that smell back and taste will be divine I have literally searched every year since 2003 non stop I’m so happy to hear that you have kept her alive and still have got it only amazing things can come from it in your hands 🙌🏻 if could please let me know if they will be available please as I would be honoured to be able to grab some of these please and keep that genetic line going and to say I have some of your creations too is just a bonus on top of that. Thank you 🙏

Hey there, thanks for the kind words. This is a very hard plant to reverse.... i have a WR plant hanging now that i'm hoping there will be some more S1 seeds in. i'll know in a few days but this is an ongoing project and i have another ready to try if this hasn't worked !

No it looks far from legit and a very sketchy website. Also it's not allowed here on the forum to post links to outside seedvendor websites who aren't forum affiliates.

Yea I know I can’t believe it I’m glad I asked before spending my money but I did not know it was against the rules the way I asked so I won’t be doing that again I know how to order now and I wanted to know i was dealing with the right retailers related to this forum if I didn’t ask I wouldn’t have known and like you said and got ripped off so thank you for the reply’s and I’m sorry for putting this in the thread I really didn’t mean to offend anyone just wanted to make sure I am ordering from the right place before I did as I didn’t want to miss out on some of these gems they have already.
Again sorry to any one that I upset or offended in anyway was never my intention hope you all have a lovely week.

Again I’m sorry for my previous posts I just wanted to make sure I got the right things and I did and now I know how to order properly these will be going in some soil very soon my health isn’t to good at the minute but am waiting a few procedures and operations so fingers crossed my operation goes well and can be back on my feet these should be above ground in the next 6-8 weeks wish I could start them now but my health comes first.

can’t wait to see how the white rhino S1’s are coming along VG and if you had any luck with them again 🙏

Congratulations Gene.bank.uk. There is nothing quite like finding an old friend you haven't seen in a long time.

And well done VerdantGreen for finding and preserving this gem. Keeping my eyes open and my fingers crossed for future successful reversals. I hope to see S1's around in the future.

Hi again, unfortunately there were no seeds in the buds, but i have another plant to reverse etc so will keep trying. You may think that i should know whether the pollination has been successful or not, but i find sometimes that the pistils wither/brown fairly convincingly after pollination but no seeds actually form.
The good news is that the buds from the S1s just get better and better to smoke ! delicious.

Hi VG

that’s unfortunate it hasn’t been successful I’ve been coming down outside the hospital to check every couple hours lol to see if you have had any joy as the reception is no good inside I was hoping that would be some good news lol but I’m glad to hear your going to carry on and still try again and I’m delighted to hear that it’s getting better and better I wanted to know actually what they would of came out like what expressions came out of the S1 as would be the difference in phenos 🙌🏻
And I’ll keep checking in to see how it’s getting on lol and hopefully I’ll be out of here soon and back home too hope you have a lovely weekend 🙏🏻
