This is way too sad. from the looks of it, he's got some really good genetics

Honestly what did he expect? Not trying to be a dick but he gave out testers to random people who found out about it off instagram. I'm sure everybody and their grandma signed up for it but only a handful will actually post pics, but I'm not complaining $25 for a pack ain't shit I will gladly spend my money on them so keep em coming.

Hell yes I got my testers and will be starting them this week. I was waiting on my gratefulbreath x stardawg packs to come in which showed up today but a pack was missing so I only got 1 pack. I contacted GU about this issue and he was quick to offer a resolution. Even though I am bummed I didn't get my two packs now I have something different to run as well. I settled on cookies N cream x stardawg so as soon as they land I'll be starting my testers plus 5 of gratefulbreath x stardawg and cookies n cream x stardawg.

I must say Gu is a good dude and handled my mixup without question so my hats off to him. The least I can do is give him a good show with the bubblegum x stardawg thread. I hope I find a killer bubblegum leaning pheno because boy do I miss that cut. Not the strongest by any means but killer flavor with mouth and lip coating flavor when grown right.

Thanks again greenpoint for being a standup breeder and ready to fix any issues hats off to you that u realize you are human also and mistakes happen some breeders have to big of egos to admit they made a mistake.

In my own personal experience, about 10% of those that say they will test something actually follow through. It's almost a waste of time as it serves no real purpose other than to act as advertising and building hype before a release...

However, you also run the risk of people taking genetics and using them to make crosses for sale before you ever actually release the line...which completely undermines other peoples motivation to purchase them.

It's much like someone finding a good clone in "testers" and then people stop buying the seeds and decide rather than finding their own great pheno they will just wait around for so and so to share their cut...

Testers - that are NOT truly testers, ie genetics that may never truly see the market - but are merely "pre-release" promotional material...is just this side of a complete waste of time. I think breeders do it merely to be seen as a "good person"...and to appease those that intend to cause a storm and attempt to undermine the time and hard work put into a release.

You just have to enter into it with the reality of zero expectation and if someone actually does carry through on their public commitment, just chalk it up as a win.

Just dropped the Indiana bubblegum x stardawg into paper towels last night. Will get a thread up when the beans crack and get going.

The 5 overfloxstardawg broke surface 30 hours after being in rapid rooters

[TheSilverMullet]

10 GG4xMC popped a couple/few weeks ago.

At first they seemed pretty uniform but as they grow more variation is apparent. Top right pale one was the last to come up and just hasn't greened up like the others for some reason.
