Got a five pack of pandora fromparadise seeds, anyone grow it , have any experience with it. I have grown auto's before, but these say a qp min and luc said they got almost an elbow off one outside. Indoors or out, that's the million dollar question.

Grew a five pack last year. One indoor, turned out to be a very nice looking plant with ALL the atributes one would want to have EXCEPT potency. Nothing! Don't know what happened, maybe one bad seed. The rest outdoors. Last summer I screwed up all of my autos. Put them in containers too small too long and once outdoors they flowered right away. So, I can't tell you much about the yield. Not bad though, pretty much one of my more productive auto last summer, about 50 gr ish kinda. Nice smelling, sticky but kind of airy buds. I might be wrong but I doubt you would get a qp from them. Never know though.

To be honest with you I can't tell you about the potency of these per say: Froze the whole bunch fresh and made ice hash with them all. All strains in the same bag I mean :(

NICE HASH though ....

HI! :tiphat:
I grew Pandora auto from Paradise seeds
8 plants in dr 80 under 250 watt ( bulb Lumatec dual), light 24/0 from seed to harvest
grow in coco , 11l pots. all plants was very tall aproximetly 1,8 m
the fastest pheno was ready after 12 weeks, not good taste, weak potency and small yield , others after 14 and 15 weeks , great taste and average potency, the slowest one chopped after 17 weeks, medium potency and not so good taste,
unfortunately i got photo only the last one plant
all plants yielded 470 gram, the last one gave me 190 gram dried buds

Hi,
yes i only can agree with IBL niceeven, the yield is indoors very good if you do it well. But the potency isnt that great but ok, moreover the smell and taste too. the height of the plants is higher than some other autos around 1 to 1,2m.
the need ca 80 days from seed to harvest.

outdoors they are a good choice if you want to grow auto´s because of their height.
But if you dont have a good equipment for indoor growing you should grow outdoor.

Thanks guy's that's exactly what i wanted to know. I have a five pack, might run two indoors and save three for outside. Indoors im thinking of going vert and pandora on a vert scrog sounds good to me.

I thought id stick an auto grow in to give me a crop before spring. Ive done easy ryders before and was relatively impressed with potency, less so with taste. This time i went for some Pandoras. Bought a 5 pack and only got 2 to germ. Not wanting to run a 400 hps on just two autos, i swallowed the loss and bought another pack . Non of them germed. ( i'll be taking this up , shortly, with the bank and Paradise). Seeds looked immature and a couple were misshapen. The claim of ' hand selected ' and ' 95% germ rate ' is more breeder bullshit. F*cking rich when you shell out £80 ! Anyway, at 24 days both kicked into flower and look healthy. Ive been running them on 20/4 but will be putting some regs in the space so will drop to 18. They'll be finished on 12/12 so ultimately ive no idea how poor the yield will be. Wont be bothering again . Good luck with yours.

i grew pandora and some other paradise seeds so far and never got real germanition problems with these seeds. i think it was your foult they did not well.
1/10 or 2/10 are ok maybee you are out of luck and you loose 3 of ten but thats it i think.

Delighted that you never got 'real' germ problems . Youre clearly an expert, unlike myself that's only put a meagre 20+ year shift in . Have another go at reading my description of purchased seeds. Feel free to get back to me .

jeez IBL got some kinda yield from that . . . . too bad about potency; I was interested in the Pandora also but surely will be spending $$ on some other shite.

I grew out some Black Jack, Shot Adrenaline, & Iranian last yr, all autos . . . I had an entire World of Seeds Pakistan Ryder 5 pk fail to pop!! woe is me on that . . . all 3 strains grew really well & had an 8 potency with super taste & bag appeal, was very pleased there.

Growing some Haze 2.0, Moby Dick, & Think Different right now; the Haze is really producing . . . all smell potent, though the Think Different I had to baby along, not my idea of a wonder auto seed . . .

I think with the hot competition at seed level, many of these are rushed to market . . lol

Pulled down my autogrow a month or so ago. The Pandora's yielded just shy of 2 oz each. I struggled a little with cold temps but got some nice red/purp colouring on the end product, as a result. At best, it gave a soft and somewhat bland smoke , with a hint of skunkish undertones. Potency was an underwhelming 6/10 . The Cream Caramels i had, in tandem , pissed all over it .

Just a word on Paradise . I mailed them my experience of a non germing pack. Props to them for sending me a replacement pack with no fuss. I wont be bothering under lights but will maybe stick them outside over the summer months .

I've grown Pandora- phenotypes vary. Had a small, medium potent and large multi-branched w/ medium (day time smoke) potency. Not that you need to wake & bake daily. A tad raspy in dry and smoke. I think Vertigo had a bit more 'kick'.
