I'm not sure what ssh u had but mr nice ssh is fire and I can't imagine striking out on an 18 pack because I had 3 that were perfect all around and another 4 or 5 that weren't as good but still fire.

It was Mr.Nice's SSH. A whole 18 pack of bog standard plants with little smell or flavour.

i just finished another run of greenthumb's bubba og and it is the FIRE! too potent for some people and that bubba taste is amazing. yield is better than bubba or og.

i've bought several strains from them and as long as the genetics are as good as they are i don't care about the price

I read the story behind Dr.G and how he got his 13, its the stories legends are made of.Stop whining about the price of his seeds if you wanna buy them do and if you don't dont. I have some G13 coming from him in couple dayz. So what if the oldfuka cranky I call that charisma.

dr. gt's personality when dealing with me over the phone was more cranky than cranky. :)

really fucked way to treat a customer imo.

dr.gt has some really good genetics imo. iss, endless sky, golden haze phz pheno are ones i've grown.

i dislike ppl talking about seed prices being too high.

who buys ******* seeds? i buy genetics.

prized genetics go for a lot of $. seeds are basically free; bagseed.

For those bashing doc, I'll say a few things, but first off let me say, I run gear from loompa farms, gage green, bodhi, karma, cbg, ace seeds, sin city, mr nice, cvs, gdp seeds, og raskal, mota, hazeman and a few others. That said, I got a pheno from docs endless sky, that was pure fire, the best bud IVe smoked, and I've been burning for 18 plus years, I lived in cali for years and have been to amsterdamn. My second favorite strain ever was docs flook juice aka endless sky x big purps, his big purps was top 5 too.. His endless Smelled like I was in a field of exotic flowers walking on crushed fresh fruit. The endless sky taste was exactly like the aroma, the pheno yielded 5 zips, and was 10/10 potency and taste wise. I ran 2 packs of endless to find that pheno, and there was definitely some bunk phenos, but what people don't realize is endless is probably the most finicky strain I've ever run, and is not, I repeat not for beginners or even intermediate growers, hence the bad grow reports. Also doc never lost any of his endless sky parents, that's a rumor. And docs s1s are selfed naturally, he doesn't use sts spray. I've run 2 packs of his chem 4 which was fire, got 1 bad pheno and 2 no sprouts out of 20, practically the same with his cheese and trainwreck. His og and bubba are fire, didn't like the oh zone but I wasn't as experienced and might have taken them early, had issues with c99 potency but tasted amazing, like sugar dipped pineapples. Ran a pack of dope, wasn't a big fan, his ECSD is fire and very close to the original. The matanuska gave me a lot of males. smoked his bubba og and is def one of his current top 5 strains. So people trashing doc who haven't even run his gear or popped 1-2 packs, just stop. After years of running doc his prices caused me to try other breeders but there will always be some doc gear around me and mine.

I don't have experience with Dr Greenthumb, but he is the only source of ECSD S1s? or not? ECSD is one of the last elite strains I must acquire! 165$ for 5 seeds is pretty rough.

Considering the known intersex problems in ECSD, many packs might be required to work out the intersex. To grow 50 females would cost 1650$? Fuck that, especially for an S1! There was no fucking selection involved, no real breeding at all! S1s should be cheap seeds! I would pay highly for the ECSD clone maybe, but for some seeds, I think not.

Sorry for my rant, I just need to get that ECSD,seed or clone, and 165$ a pack is somewhat insulting!

All u need is 2 packs of ECSD and u will def find a keeper, you will most likely find it in a 5 pack but to be sure go with two. And u get 6 beans in his 5 packs. As far as the ECSD and herms I've yet to find a herm from any of the hundreds of times I've run his s1s or any of his strains for that matter.

The price is what it is because it's the original ECSD clone in the purest seed form possible.

If a seed herms slightly and it's a keeper in terms of quality, at least run a clone from it once. Not just dr.gt's gear, anyone's.

Ill probably pass on the Dr Greenthumb seeds. I will save my money for if I find the ECSD clone. I am only about 15 hours drive from NY, I am sure she is around.

I can not wait for the legalization of marijuana! These guys selling seeds for an arm and leg will be shutdown(or reprice to compete!). My guess is seeds should be about 20$ a pack for rare seeds, and stuff like skunk and widow, maybe 5$ a pack.

This does sound sad for the seed industry, but it should eliminate many of the profiteers in the business. I look forward to it.

good call

his S1 approach doesn't guarantee crap.... I got suckered into spending the big $$ on his bubba OG S1. I got nothing but garbage ... contacted him and he truly didn't give a shit. Dr. G is a jerk and a "$100 per seed ripoff".

I tested 3 phenos of the ECSD from seed for a friend. I cannot comment on the structure or the yield, as I got small buds, but the taste was amazing on 2 of the 3. One was snappy oG KUsh flavor, and the other much more indica, I cannot characterize, but I loved it. Loved em both, and I am a tough crowd.

You can already find seeds at these kind of prices if you know where to look ;)

In fact, if you are part of the right community (where people give and share freely) you'll find (as I have found) that you rarely if ever have to pay for any seeds. And I'm not talking about somewhere where everything has been legalized!

Yeh, I've read lots of folks who have found way good stuff from him.

The problem, IMO, is that sometimes you don't. And when you don't, you've not only lost $200 or more, you run into a jerk on the stick who calls you a bad grower and sends his lackey's online to harass and insult you. F that guy. No wonder he's trying to sell his seed business .... pity the fool that tries to do business with him.

He is selling the seed company? Where did you learn this? What is the asking price? Lots of good genetics, but the name isn't in great standing! I'm guessing he senses once legal pot comes, his current business model will fail.

You've run his s1s and other strains hundreds of times?

How much did that cost you and how long did it take?

Your posts in this thread sound suspiciously like those of someone connected closely to him. Some of the claims you're making...

Somethings up, I would be surprised if any line of the planet didn't have a couple hermie plants out of a hundred seeds! Hermies are in most lines. Most people are just not observant, and many hermies do not produce seeds every crop. Close attention must be paid. Most lines contain at least some intersex in my experience.

I'd be more than surprised. I'd be absofuckinglutely amazed if he grew hundreds of packets and found no hermies. This Dr.Greenthumb dude sounds like a god or something... we should be paying him more than our money.. we should be paying homage :bow: to this Picasso of our craft :artist:

But we should also be paying our gratitude to ...what's his name again.... let me just grab the scroll bar..... blis84.. sorry.... because, if not for him and his riches, a trial of this nature could never have been conducted and the genius of Dr.Gt would have potentially have gone untold, because hundreds of his packets would cost between... let me just.. calculator... wow, between $16500 and $115000 depending on whether he bought 100 or 700 packets... I think that's a good ball park figure seeing as how "hundreds" is quite vague.

I also think Dr.Greenthing owes blis a personal debt of gratitude, because despite being "guaranteed a keeper in 5" he kept buying and buying and buying and buying and buying... and buying...more and more seeds... til he had spent the value of a small house on greenfinger's seeds... Even when people laughed at him for losing all his keepers time after time :pointlaug He was unwavering in his support for Dr.Greeneye

That is loyalty, and I raise a glass to that :tiphat:

ECSD didn't come from NY, and has littlle to do with NYCD other than Soma selling marketing.

papaduc i think your bang on there mate.probably gets freebies for talking shit on forums for the DR,wouldn't suprise me in the least,and if people are daft enough to pay hundreds for a few S1's then they deserve to get burn't..No 10 pack of seeds is really worth more then £50-60 ,i personally don't sell mn vars for more then £50,most are now £25 for 10.DR greenthumb charging like $200 for 5 S1 seeds FUCK THAT.

he was caught out few years ago on gs i think for using shill/puppet accounts. in my own experience i know for a 100% fact that he does it - iran auto flowers was called iranian short season- he had multiple accounts posting grows claiming to be irish, talking to them all and they all spouted shit, they were posting pics with plants in the background that didnt grow here and swore blind that they actually had bales of promix send over here......fucking idiot.


would still grab a few packs of seeds still though tbh....
