those beans look like they needed an extra couple of weeks to mature imho...

not something i would buy especially knowing that prophet has a big ol bag of brown stripey gg4 s1's just laying around..

but hey get it while the gettin is good I guess...there are no questionable ethics in providing a bag of beans that doesn't consistently germ for the buyer or anything....almost similar to unknowingly buying a bunch of cuts that are 65% infected with broad mites i suppose

lol yup

and hopefully any place that sells these has a nice asterisk with the 65% pop rate,

I was gonna bite my lip, but i cant, what a frkin joke

This made me laugh ...

When you impregnate a plant you have to feed it more for longer to ripen the seed and let them flower an extra week. Pow!

:yeahthats

It'll be interesting to see if s1 seeds from a cross that puts the poly in poly-hybrid come anywhere close to the original. I suppose it's possible but I'd sure love to hear the thoughts of Tom Hill or Chimera or someone who understands genetic variability as expressed through poly-hybrid s1 seeds. Without actual s1 grow reports all decisions to buy are based on hope and speculation.

I am on the fence about this I mean 65% germ rates aren't the greatest but then again it's like a double edged sword because many people want these genetics but at the same time do u really want your first drop to have less than atleast 98% germination??

Just think it would be a one time drop and a lot of people upset that the germs rates aren't that good. Sounds like you are setting yourself up for failure.

But I guess anything is possible I just got a pack of cannaventure seeds cookie mix with a bunch of white seeds in the pack. I contacted CVS on here with no response back from him. Tried to pop those pre-mature seeds and just as I thought they were duds.

Unfortunately, your not one of my neighbors, as I would give you some. Mine all look fat and viable. The gg x headband look good too, but some may herm.

:2cents: my two cents is this,put more seeds in the pack,make sure the listing includes a fair an accurate description of whats going on with them.if people are given enough information to make an informed choice to buy them and then bitch about it after the fact well then too bad.
and while i understand the notion of,well i dont want to be crude and just call it cashing in,for gods sake,i think jw deserves something a bit more tangible for spreading it around aside from warm fuzzies and a pat on the back,but it would also be a shame to jump the gun and create a bad association with it....maybe finish a test grow of the seeds first? i understand peoples attention span is short and the new flavor of the month is always lurking around the corner,but ultimately i think waiting a bit more for a reasonably tested product is going to cause far less bitching than a little more waiting...

and on another note,regardless of what you do,maybe think about setting aside some packs for the server fund,icmag and the patient moderators have been dealing with these threads and the non stop nonsense associated with them for over a year with little benefit and much hassle,it would be nice to maybe toss them a scrap of pie too?

Not sure if you guys saw or know but GG4 has a Leafly page.


http://www.leafly.com/hybrid/gorilla-glue-4

They need to change the periodic table abbreviation from Ggl to GG4!

The leafly people seem nice. I emailed them yesterday about changing the abbreviation:

Dear Joe,

Thank you for contacting us! Upon investigating your link and doing a bit of research, it is clear that the official abbreviation for Gorilla Glue #4 is GG4 and we will be updating our site to reflect this change very soon. Thank you for bringing this to our attention!
If you have any other questions or feedback, please let us know. Thanks again!
-Your friends at Leafly

Exactly....prophet said he'd give the beans to josey too. Why not just wait guys? Not gonna make much of a splash if you have less than 3/4 of your seeds even cracking. You will be in for quite the headache when everyone wants their money back. Patience is a virtue.

As always selection is key and with sufficient numbers if you are looking for a mama with similar expressions as the gg4.

I have been reading all your post and understand your concerns, as to the seeds sunset is sending in they will be more seeds in each pack to compensate for the poor germ rate, this is the first batch from another grower, he is testing them already and there will be pic's of his results. I also have around a 100 nice dark s1's of gg4 that will be going in also

That would suck if that happened a good male is hard to find. Plus males are such great tools to keep around. I mean look at bodhis keeper males that is what made most of his lines his killer males. Easy to find good females just hard to find a really good keeper male..

Then again a lot of people probably don't want to waste space keeping a male around either.

It can be difficult keeping a male alive once it buds out. I lost the headband male like that. I still have pollen though
