You state no version and no breeder info. Notice how everyone else mentions that information?

Growbass, he has stated before he has never actually grown it, and the guy is completely clueless about the strain and just likes to knock it since I put him in his place a few times. So take his opinion for what it's worth, basically nada zip zilch! :tiphat:

I always get two packs of beans. These did so horribly done next to other strains. Felt like I had planted some lame bag seed from my teenage years. The bubble gums were extremely uniform and stable but it's like stabilized crap. Ended up giving both extra packs away (with warning or course.) Ive ordered many beans and these were the only lame ones. I just stay away from those seed companies now.


first person I seen that had this same experience as me with Black D

but my boy Tona who I respect greatly has been running black D for years and he says it kills.

peace

Really? Mine were so frosty it was unreal. So resiny they looked almost gooey. Rock hard nugs. Not the biggest yield, but more than potent enough that I f2'd 'em and crossed them.

What did you dislike about it?

SOTF - You have some sort of auto "sweet tooth" search indexer going here on ICMAG? :)

Also, I forgot about TH Seeds "Buku" It was awful. It was described as the "fastest flowerer" but turned out to be a tall Sativa that took forever to finish. It was nothing as described.

Really?? Mine turn out pretty good almost half a lb per plant fishished faster than all my other strains ready at 8 weeks... and it had big fat leafs... I grew a fem pack of 5 got one Male and the rest were pretty good...white frosty easy trim and every nug was worth it nothing small... I was impressed by that but not a killer high... had better...

I grew out their heavy duty fruty and that sucked....

I've been foolin' around with a cut of Dabney Blueberry for awhile now. I'm a noob organic grower. I've gotten other strains in my garden to express themselves nicely, with full flavors and potency, but the Dabney Blueberry continues to smell and taste of hay. Even after 2mo cure.

Strong couchlock creeps up on you. I've persisted with this strain for longer than I would've, but my wife has disabling back injuries and I had heard that Blueberry was an excellent med. for these type of patients. She hasn't noticed any more effect than my MasterBubbaKush. The Kush has much wider appeal for similar knock out high.

Placed a couple cuts outdoors last spring and fared no better. Really had to talk myself into sensing any blueberry aspects at all?

Gonna let this strain go if the current jars don't garner very positive feedback. I guess the biggest 'tell' is that when I reach for a jar, it's NEVER Dabney Blueberry.

As of now my biggest disappointment was with BOG strains.
Bogbubble
Sour Bubble
Sour Lifesaver.

None of them smelled or tasted like bubblegum. Bogbubble high and yield are average. Most of the phenos from the sours are just stem with no bud. The high is boring (Sour lifesaver is nice to sleep though) and they take an absurd amount of time in veg (even with cmh lamp, best nuts and 85% humidity).
Also all of them turn Hermy in the last weeks of flowering if they are not in the perfect growing conditions. All in all, complete waste of my time and money.

I did not like the GHS Cheese and GHS Lemon Skunk at all.
Even more worse was TH Seeds M.K.Ultra never smoked something more boring.
But the worst of all was a freebie of Sour Diesel x Jack Herer gave me instant headache LOL

I know its a popular strain and i hope not to offend anyone, but i grew out 2 packs of Deep chunk and it was an awful experience for me and a serious waste of my money.
S L O W growth. I grew out 3 maple leaf indica's along with them and i was shocked when the ML out perfomed DC big time with regaurds to vigor, taste, potency and yield. The ML was nice for $50 and the DC for $100 seriously lacking ......

I had heard so much about DC and maybe i was expecting too much but i was sorely disappointed.

My understanding of DC is that it is a very slow vegger and moderate yielder at best. Has to be vegged a long time to get a decent yield, though the end product is supposed to be fire. I think it is probably best suited as a parent plant in crosses.

Gotta agree about MLI. Great plant, very smooth and potent.

Believe me, all of them Hermy if the temperatures are high but yeah the sour bubble is the one less prone to hermy from those three strains. The Bogbubble is the worst in that department. It's a shame because one of the phenos actually has a nice high (but tolerance builds up ultra fast) :(
Maybe I had real bad luck but 30 seeds at a such a price I expect something very good.

In terms of genetics and overall plant quality I would recommend Mosca's strains. Short time, huge yields, insane tolerance to stress, great high/stone, covered in resin. I've tried C99 bx1 and Sonic fly, both super genetics.

Lemon Skunk, GHS seeds.

Strain info claims decent stretch, it stood still and flowered.

It didn't smell like lemon or taste, and i used Canna boost + flush + cure + volcano.

Apparently what i got was just like its daddy, hindu kush.

A friend got two niche phenos some time ago, cloned them both and because of misslabeling I ended keepeng the not so good one. Planted again last year from seed and it was not the same, average plants. The phenos my pal got were so frosty the planst even looked like they had mold or something, the smell was great and they grew quite sativaish ending with nice sized veery sticky buds, smell is maybe not lemon but certainly has some citric flavor, more like orangetree or lemontree flowers.

The strains that mos dissapointed me were Morning Glory, mostly because a friend keeps on remembering me how bad it was and the worst, most money wasted strain by now for me is DJ Short's F13, at least flo's got some beutiful buds even if they don't smell like virgin mary's ****, but the F13 is just rubbish.

I expected some deformation, even some late hermy traits, some pheno sorting... Had to thow them all, in veg it vas some crimpling and some shots missing but man, when it comes to flowering not even males were worth a thing, heavy intersexed traits, unfertile pollen on males...

I can't justify expensive seeds if they come up like this, don't like to waste time, money, and hope to end with that compost hay worth plants...
