I tried it, was excited for it and then it started growing balls so i scrapped it with zero regret.

As far as I know all he does is take two good plants and mate them and sell it. I would have hoped to have a nice flowering session because the veg was so vigorous.

Why bother. He makes rad youtube video's and sells wicked sick t-shirts. Where did you get this notion that you have to have solid genetics to be a good breeder? He's too much like Arjan for my liking. In fact he's also too much like Steve Jobs for my liking as well. Raise a complaint, well don't bother, you're just doing it wrong.

I have the chernobyl going, tried the jillybean, agent orange, querkle, jack skellington, and pennywise. All with good luck!! so they do have good stuff. I think they are just trying to stay with the In crowd and making all these new ones as fast as possible.

Yeah, it's called breeding. Not trying to be a smart ass or anything, but it's very similar to what Bodhi, Gage Green, Rare Dankness, Sin City, etc., etc. do. They have three or four stud males and bring in good female cuts to breed with. It allows them to release more strains in a short amount of time relieving them of the time consuming burden of growing out dozens of seeds to find a stud male for each new cross. Honestly I'd rather have more strains on the menu to choose from rather than having to wait two years between releases while they seek out new males. But, to address the OP I can't understand why Sub would release such a hermie prone POS. This is the second thread I've seen 9 Pound Hammer mentioned and the second time hermies have been reported. I know he has lots of testers who would have told him about the hermie issue, and I know alot of strains that he tests don't make the cut it just seems odd he would release one that herms out all the time.

It may be the new age "breeding" but I like people like sannie who actually make their strain as true to their description as possible.Yeah, it's called breeding.

No. It's not

Yes it is. Selecting a female and a male and mating them is definitely breeding. Just because a new male isn't chosen every time doesn't mean you're not breeding.

In the Emerald Cup video, Subcool says he is just a "seed maker" not a breeder. All of his gear at present has a particular Space Queen stud as a father or grandfather. However, he has selected males from some of his crosses (JTR, Querkle, Vortex) and created backcrosses to the original mothers (JC2, Deep Purple, Apollo-13BX.) I learned all this from reading his web site, so nobody should be surprised. At least he creates a new name when he makes seeds from an elite cut.

That's just Sub trying to be humble. Regardless of how many times he's bred with Space Queen it's still breeding in the end.

They didnt turn hermie they grew as males tga doesnt release fem seeds only regular seeds so its a roll of the dice to if you get female or male flowers either way have heard positive words from there line up.

Yeah just read the thread over again and noticed his initial post was a little misleading. He made it sound like he popped one and it hermied so he scrapped it. He later said he popped ten when asked if he got a male.They didnt turn hermie they grew as males tga doesnt release fem seeds only regular seeds so its a roll of the dice to if you get female or male flowers either way have heard positive words from there line up.

Doesn't make any sense to me that he popped ten seeds got a male and scrapped the grow.

I think it's Sub being a realist as he knows he doesn't work any of his lines to stability. Which is his choice, don't get me wrong, he runs his business how he wants. Doesn't change the fact he doesn't work his lines. He throws pollen around and gives people a big variation of decent plants to choose from with some gems in the mix.

Yeah, that's my feelings too. Kinda what I was trying to say you worded it better than me though.
