Bubblegum Projects v.1 Tester Overview

As of right now,
i have two testers that are actually updating tester
threads and providing pictures and comments reguarly.
those two testers are hoosierdaddy and 40ampstofreedom,
thank you very much guys and i am glad to see your progression.

the rest of the testers have been kinda sporadic with getting back to me
if at all, and i am starting to wonder if i will see many more test threads.
also, i don't know why but a lot of testers only popped few to half of
the seeds at a time, which doesn't make much sense to me as far as testing goes, as there's no point in "testing" seeds you have held on to for months, the germ rates may not be up to par due to improper storage, temps, etc etc. and unless all 10/10 seeds are germed together then who knows what the strike rate of the seeds are?

here is a list of the testers sent out months ago:

Elemental - ogb x sbbx4
friction2k - key x sbbx4
lilly456 - key x sbbx4
milo_xxx - sbbx4 ix1 mother b
Kathmandu - sbbx3 x sbbx4
subrob - ogb x sbbx4
Dr. G - sbbx3 x sbbx4
FiveLeggedGoat - sbbx4 ix1 mother a
hoosierdaddy - sbbx4 ix1 mother a
40ampstofreedom - sbbx4 ix1 mother b

Elemental should have a nice thread up soon I believe, he got 10/10 to pop. Lilly456 is supposed to start his seeds soon he says. Subrob germed 4 seeds out of 10 seeds and wound up with 2 plants that we may be updated on. Milo_xxx got 5/5 to germ, let them die while he was having a baby, and then germed the other half of his pack and got 4 i think, hopefully he will update us soon. i handed friction2k his pack of seeds and never heard back from him on those... Kathmandu stated he received his pack of seeds and was going to germ them, but he still hasn't as far as i know... Dr. G says he got his pack as well but i have not heard anything else back yet. FiveLeggedGoat popped 4 seeds and got 4 plants i think, and this was weeks ago, i have not seen an update yet. hoosierdaddy and 40ampstofreedom both germed all seeds and have excellent threads documenting them.

i am not upset at any of the testers, i hope they all enjoy their seeds very much. but i am now at a point where these strains are not being shown and that was not the point of the tester seeds.
next time i decide to release some testers it will be to
people who are willing to pop them all once received and grow em out,
no offense but hoosierdaddy and 40amps are pretty much the only
guys who came through like champs for me so far on this round of testers
and i was expecting to see a lot more tester threads/pics than i do now,
so in the future i will pick testers personally based on
frequency of posting, detailed posts, pics, and positive attitudes.

i hope to see more testers grown successfully in the future and
i will have a larger tester crowd next release to ensure that
more info is available on our strains and seed quality.

thank you for the support and grow HARD,

Me too grape ... Shit Happens ... but ... people should live up to their word and should let a stoner know if they can't. You found a few reliable peeps in 40amps and hoosier ... keep building that team ...

thanks guys for the kind words.
let me add- i knew subrob was only able to pop so many to keep
within his legal limit, which we always approve of. i am glad to have
him on board and he's a great grower. also, i know milo_xxx had a child,
so congrats to him and he has been very communicative. also, lilly456
was in transit of a move and i was made aware of that. he should be startin
his very soon and will keep us posted.
i support you guys and am grateful that you gave grapevine the time
and space in your gardens.

i don't want this thread to make me come across as upset or anything,
i'm just wondering if everybody is still on board or whats going on....thats all

plus everybody has to live life by life's terms, so i understand if something came
up, hope everyone is stoned and safe,

Hey Grape! If you want man I can start your joints next. I have some sbbx4 ix1 mother a and something else of yours... have to check. I start something new or throw clones of the last run every 30 days. I have some OGK in flower now with some Grape Krush x Blue Satellite 2.2 seeds starting veg. Right now, new spot. Peep my sig for some photos. Anyway, I am not an official tester but I will provide pics and updates for ya. Let me know!

to anyone with grapevine seeds....
PLEASE GROW THEM and post the experiences in this subforum!

a handful of testers haven't bothered growing them or sharing with us
for whatever reason.... :P

next time i'll just have to pick testers out by hand.
maybe that would provide us with better results

thanks to the testers who made a thread in our subforum
