I haven't grabbed any of the new clones but I will have my send me the Grand Caper because it sounds really cool and I have had bubba, WFOG, and cookies. But yeah I want to know the the lineage just hope they don't get rid of dream queen because thats my jam! Looks like they retired the cherry pie, two many complaints of hermie's. I bet Grand Caper has some Ghost OG in it, it just sounds like it would with a name like that I mean you have to be like a ghost to pull off a grand caper.

Would love to get my talons on some of these beans:hump:

Purple Caper Seeds. Looks like they have a lot of nice crosses.

:P
Nice find, I saw their site last night, but fell asleep before I could post anything about it.
So it looks like a strain called Fire Lady is the father used in their Bubba's Fire, and Cookie Lady, while Grand Caper's lineage isn't listed. Looks like this is where the genetics for Chocolate Hashberry, among others, comes from too.

Grand Caper is a seed company that breeds only for DHN and DHN has the Chocolate Hashberry (Blueberry Kush x Chocolate Kush) actually they are called Purple Caper Seed Company.....they have Grape Fire, Fire Lady, Daddy Fire, BlueDream-PC, Cherry Caper, Blue Chocolate, Purple SnowWhite, and LA Fire, White Chocolate, Drew, Snurkulan, SnowDream, PineApple Snow etc. I hope they bring these genetics to DHN.

I guess they don't grow exclusively for DHN but they do for the Grand Caper and Chocolate Hashberry if not others as well because it is not listed on their site only Purple Grand Caper

Purple Caper's story:

  • The Purple Caper has been growing in California for over 20 years indoors and outdoors. We are known for the best fathers in the Bay Area and Central Valley. There is an abundance of Landrace, Heirloom, and Designer Strains here in California. We collect these from the most prestigious clubs and growers in the area. We then pollinate the best of the best with our best of 50 or better pedigree fathers for world class results. We specialize in designer strains with the biggest yields and highest quality.

    The first two successful strains created were the #1K and Chocolope Cheese. These are legends in California for the outdoor growers. The #1K is a pure sativa crossed with a New Purple Power father. There is a father selected and backcrossed for purity. The female released is a very reliable plant and is the favorite of outdoor masters. #1K phenotypes include The Stinky Armpit, Special K, and Green Fire. Chocolope Cheese is also famous here for tremendous outdoor topshelf yields. There is a father selected and backcrossed. There was also two females selected, both over a lb yield, a Sativa and an Indica phenotype, both amazing.

    Next was an imported male from Amsterdam. A pure Snow White was selected and backcrossed for purity best of 50 male then selected. These offspring work indoor and outdoor, and created legends like Chocolate Snow, White Grapes, White Chocolate, Snow Dream, and Yetti.

    Then introduced Purple Caper, which had been alive for several years, but not released. It is a cross of (Grandad Purple x Diesel) x (White Widow x Pure Indica). There is a father selected and backcrossed for purity. There is also 4 female phenotypes. Purple Caper (best medicinal pheno). Fire Lady (Highest THC/ Darkest purple pheno). Rocket Science (Best indoor pheno). Rocket Science XL (Best Outdoor pheno). Offspring of the Purple Caper male grow best outdoor and smell amazing like tropical Fruit and are covered with crystals.

    Chocolate Kush is next. This is a cross of the famous Chocolope Cheese male crossed with a pure Moroccan Hash Plant. Then backcrossed for purity. This supersedes the Chocolope Cheese male . Amazing Sweet Kush! CottonCandy BubbleGum, A cross of two classics bred in an outdoor project for maximum results outdoors. This male throws truly amazing offspring. Girl Scout Cookie, Fire Lady, and River are new strains available here in California released in 2014. Still very rare only available at the best clubs.

I call bullshit on Purple Caper Seeds, all those new strains have a hermed cookies father. I would stay the hell away from those hackjobs.

I even called them out on facebook like a tough troll.

Seriously though, using a male from a hermed plant... I wouldn't that is just my personal preference. These guys are weak sauce. In fact I still have 6 or 9 cotton candy bubbas of theirs that I will never pop lol.

Thats a bold statement man with growers that have two decades of growing.

Here's what they say on their site:
"Cookie F2 Father - (Grandaddy x Durban x OG Kush) This is a local Bay Area Strain. There is several different cuts available here in California. We grew out 6 different cuts and forced the best to self-pollinate. From these seeds we selected our male. This Strain Smells and tastes Amazing. This is the newest hottest thing in Cali going. These have the highest quality finished flowers. Extreme Flavor!"

Granted, they didn't word it very well, but I believe they are trying to say that they're using a MALE plant that came from those self pollinated cuts. Let's remember that just because they're called "feminized" seeds, doesn't mean that everyone of them will be female, and that also doesn't make all of those rare males that do pop up hermies.
Besides, of the three new clones that DHN is carrying from Purple Caper, none of them have this father. So even if you're right on the money about the Cookie F2 Father, we're still pretty safe.

I wouldn't breed with a feminized male, hands down wouldn't do it. I have had seeds by this company before so it isn't like my fears are unfounded. I still have a pack if you want me to snap a pick of it to prove I ain't bullshitting. Regardless of how many years they have growing or what they used I don't trust these people. They are chuckin pollen and trying to make a buck just like everyone else. There are better options in the sea so why would we step down.

She's the next elite I'll be trying to get soon
That strain is going to be like the next cookies, I have heard many mixed things about it but if you get a strong clone that has the vigor still you should really try to preserve her man :D. When I go back into town I will try to get me a nice healthy one and pass that around to people. I am all about sharing especially when a plant gives the results that someone is looking for.

Well my buddy's accidental cross of goji og and chernobyl aka Sector 7-G seeds he has he popped two of them and they are doing great. He has them in a small tent under low light and he is going to throw them in with some DHN Dream Queen when he pics up the clones from Oakland Harborside. I hope he has at least one good keeper he can clone off of. If he does there will be another clone only strain in the world.

Naw it won't be much drama with this one as the lineage is widely shared and not kept secret. Plus this one has been shared by the masses and that's the way Josey wanted it to be so naw won't ne like Cookies at all plus I'm not hearing about it herming like Cookies does but that never bothers me cus so many factors come into play when a female herms. Plus I won't ever throw a plant away that throws a couple sacks till I know 100% that it doesn't do this off clone runs.

You seem a little hostile King Arthur. I'm not saying you are lying but I like to try out clones myself and see how much they can take before I kill them and once I get them dialed in I rarely have problems. The Chem#4 won't take as much nutes as dream queen, i threw out the Sour Diesel from DHN it was to bushy and stretched way to much for my indoor grow where as all the Dream Queen and Chernobyl runs I have grown out can take a shit load of nutes and I can lollipop them perfectly and they never stretch to much for the room I have.

I'm on the fence with flushing, I have flushed and not flushed and I cannot tell the difference I mean once that plant has already taken in the nutes you aren't going to flush it out of the plant plus I get better results not flushing and I only use dry kool bloom in the end and that causes the buds to explode plus I use liquid kool bloom the entire time they are in flower.

You are right about that, my apologies. I am back to toking again and should be somewhat in the middle. I didn't like my experiences with that company and when I found out they were being passed out to test at a certain collective I was even more skeptic but I guess that what testing is.
