YOUR WORST/DISAPOINTED/OVERATED STRAIN(S)

Hmmm. When was the last time you grew it from seed though? I could have possibly gotten old rotten stock or maybe the more current seeds are not what they used to be. How do you grow it? Hydro in Ebb n Gro here. It wasn't godawful but when you get a free seed of Dinafem Moby Dick and it totally blows away the strain you paid huge money for, you can't help but be dissappointed. Think I got 2 females and then ran cuttings for 2-3 gardens with not much better luck and ejected it from the lineup.

No offense but I guess your finding out how the dope growing game goes then...ALL of the bomb plants i have grown were freebies or trades or homemade crosses...Most of today's genetics...Like for example NL5 X Haze is watered down and not even close to the originals that were released 15 years ago....Good luck finding any strain that has been around for 15 plus years and I gurenteee they are NOT what they used to be....Breeders lose P1 original breeding stock....and guess what..they use they F1's to breed with...so that fucks things up...

So good luck finding quality beans from breeders of strains that have been around a long time....Most breeders have lost original parental stock,,with the exception of a few(Shantibaba and Tom Hill and a few others)


Oh and anyone who knows anything on these boards know's sensi is SHIT now...

I totally agree and this strain def. made me realize this. I just find it funny when someone points this out, there are people that just jump down your throat, call you a noob, etc. They think that whatever was good for them years ago MUST be equally good now (even though they probably haven't actually tried the current version for sale )

No problem bro, your best bet to finding quality seeds, IS to make your own seeds(homemade crosses) and do some trades with people,,

That is how I have gotten my genetic collection.

Good luck bro

Worst/disappointing strains so far for me was
1) GHS Hawaiian snow. No resin content and never wanted to finish up
2) DP Blueberry. Hermie central
3) DNA Rocklock. Just came out junk. Didn't even get high/stoned

Worst SEED BREEDER i ever grew out was KC Brains.. i bought like maybe 6 strains. out of the 6.. 5 have hermied bad.. out of reg seed packs.. 60 seedlings.. not a single keeper. all the males were runts.. or hermi back to females.. or all the females went hermi early flower.. or late flower.. really disapointing.. fucked up my 5th grow. with KC Brains..

Then.. dinafem is hit or miss.. got some good genetics from them.. and then next thing u know u grow them a few times from clones.. and they start to hermi? maybe thats the point of fem seeds.. they can sell more of them because after clonin them for awhile they pop nanners?

You might want to take a look at your environment.

i was just going to say. the same thing.. most the breeders lose there parental stock from raids.. pests.. death.. human error.. all sorts of shit. equipment failure..

so wen this happens.. and they are all out of seeds. they proly go threw some of there seed stock for 1 that looks and is almost the same as the original but not quite.. so wen u get the seeds.. it takes 10-20 seeds to find a decent plant..

this is what i think is going on.. i think that they realized they sell more seeds if they dont have a keeper in every pack.. but in reality they fuck themselves.. i think TH Seeds.. has proved this one true.. look at half the strains back wen they started they were bomb.. now? what happened? id love know.

It's been a while since I've grown any of his strains, but the strains I did run were all very good.
No, maybe not "elite", but Leda Uno , KC 33 (I think, maybe it was the 36), and Mango all performed well for me. :tiphat:

and no my environment is fine .. i grew like 25 befroe kc brains.. and then another 25 after kc brains.. .. and ive only gotten hermis in kc brains gear.. and fem gear here an there usually the last couple weeks of flower.. i was thinking it was the environment.. so i used panda film to cover all the walls.. and ceilings.. then i got my temps steady. and... now ive yet to have a single hermi in my main flower room.. i have a smaller room.. that i tossed a couple strains i have that do hermi late flower.. tossing out nanners here and there.. but this is genetic .. seeing how.. i gave 3 friends.. all my kc brains clones.. told them what happened to my grrow.. they had bagseeds.. only going.. so they took them.. and wouldnt u know.. they fuckin hermied like a bitch and fuckin seeded everything....

BasementGrower

o .. and in the same room with the kc brains gear.. i had some Diesel. and some AK . and AK X WW .. all never hermied. and i still run them.. they been around for a few years and no hermis.. but iunno i guess maybe.. kcbrains was good.. back in the day.. but the new seed stock is proly shit.

its funny you guys either grow out a few seeds from a pack or someone's friggin clone(that they just sex'ed and ddin't even test)

and you think you have the right to pass judgement on these strains...


WHAT A JOKE..LOL...if you are gonna comment make sure you do a true experiement with the genetics, NOT one run of a random seed from a pack...Grow out 2 packs and then comment...

Hey Chef. Do you run 2 packs of everything??? You have been happy with every strain you have run?? If a vendor selects a fine mom and a solid stud........the chance of finding a great lady in a 10 pack should be possible. Money is getting in the way in my opinion. If you order a fem seed, why is their diff phenos??? We have new breeders out there saying they reversed a stellar female and then ya get 5 phenos when ya sprout 10 seeds.I have made fem seed using cs....they are ALL like the original.Point..... if I buy a 10 pack.....it should be good. Why in the hell should I buy twenty if you are a good breeder??? Another point...Bogs gear...ran 6 diff strains found keepers in all 6...sensi seeds....ran a 10 pack of super skunk.....NO keepers!!! Ran 10 Dutchgrowns Oger 99 hard to pick the keeper because every girl was amazing.Mr nice Shit was just that...shit . Ran a 15 pack and was very sad.It must been a mixup....because the shark strain was great. Ran a 5 pack of FMS Iced Grapefruit....still hava a mom 2 years later.don't think people come here and lie about the experience with seed. There is some bunk shit out there!!!

proly back in the 90s.. honestly. iuno wat people are doing.. if there just making seeds with a bunk male so it takes 50 seeds to find a keeper lol. who knows.. but anyways iunn oi just was gifted a bunch of seeds that im going to pick up tomaro. my partner picked it up. but a friends dad had some seeds from wen he grew.. that hes giving us because our seed stock is gone.

Iv growed 1pack of g13xhashplant from 2011patch.(sensi)
I ws dissapointed, power jst wsnt ther. I had sum cheese/trainwreck going on at sametime n both wr better at the end.

I know this was only 1pack of regus, produced 6females.
But every one of them ws dissapointing one way or another.(aroma/taste/power)

I grow another patch sumday, and c if i get better results.
Friend had good g13xhashplant @early 2000s, n thts what im after.

ya its very wierd.. honestly.. i went threw hell thinkin it was my room havin a light leak or something.. went on a mission with pandafilm staple guns and ducttape.. and had the same problems.. with those kc brains strains.. and then i said fuck it.. killed everything that hermed. keepd the best.. and popped some more seeds .. i been finding some amazing shit.. but we shal see. i have some homemade crosses that im testing now.. that ive had to remake with the parents.. because of an incident with my seed stock.. but.. im guessing this is y breeders stock goes to shit.. after they get big.. and the law knows who they are.. and what is needed to make strains and shit. they end up getting raided.. robbed.. or sabataged.. so they dont have orignals to make the seed so they use a s1 or a couple other strains or hybrids.. and try to reproduce the strain with different parents.. and its hard to do.. almost impossible.. some phenos mite be there. but most will not.

Talked to my cousin this morn, he grows it my strains! He said at week 2 barneys farm, acapulco, nightshade and dp blueberry pretty much 3 of the four he was doing for me all Hermes, the only strain left was a kend GDP but its tiny because the acapulco and dp blue a little less but they filled up the scrod quickly and the GDP was a little slow I guess so now pretty much there is one 2.5 ft GDP not even topped, very disappointed to say the least. Has anyone ever heard of thre different strains hermy in 15 days of 12/12 I haven't, so they are all chopped now to save the GDP. Seems a little shady to me, what do u guys think.

environment.. like leak.. some sort of stress.. probably the cousin.. but then again. depends on the genetics.. lol ive had KC Brains a bunch of strains go around the same time.
