Here we go,
I have had great success with Sagarmatha Seeds and I have had some of their beans in the vault for quite some time now. (Thinking back about my life at the time these seeds must be around 7 years old..)
Anyway, I thought that I would try and germ some, I will be sprouting all of the seeds from this breeder over the next few months and detailing what I find here in this thread. (I've decided to hijack this old thread that's already been aptly titled, rather than start a new one.)

Purple Pinecone (female seed) I only had one of these but it popped up faster than my bodhi testers and only had one cotyledon (not sure if the other one was torn etc..?) I'm super excited for this one. The last one I had (5 pack, germ issues, left with one seed and one female from the original pack.) Was an absolute killer. Silver purple hues, triched out, and smelled and tasted of incense and pine with undertones of daaaank. She was a bitch to trim but it was great for the hash bin!
2 strawberry d-lite. Came from a supposed female five pack, two didn't germ, one was male. Here are the last two. They took seven days to sprout in black gold organic veggie mix, straight into soil, given only water.
As you can see the last one is still shedding her (fingers crossed) skin. These s-d-lite are some of the smallest seeds and sprouts I've seen.

I've still got quite a few matanuska tundra seeds left, of which I will be popping after I've finished what's on my plate. Of the last two I germed, one ended up being hermed out shwag and the other was the best yielding plant I've ever grown. She smelled of lemon, cream and eucalyptus/mint and was a grease ball. She produced hash with the best texture and melt I've had the pleasure of experiencing. Her high was of a very functional sativa type, medium potency, and was a joy to roll up in fat blunts and bring to get-togethers as a nice evening surprise.

I just had 2/10 matanuska seeds germ and one is just the 2 pre leaves and the start of its first true leaves 10 days old, the slowest growing plant in the world, wonder if ill still be around to see it flower

I have had these for quite a few years, the only ones I have previously popped 3/3 on the germ and then one turned out to be male leaving two females. One was bunk, tasted shitty, nanners and not much frost. The other however was spectacular. Lemon haze aroma, fattest yield a plant has ever given me, greasy as fuck. Soaring high! Yum. I'm chasing that ass for sure..I just had 2/10 matanuska seeds germ and one is just the 2 pre leaves and the start of its first true leaves 10 days old, the slowest growing plant in the world, wonder if ill still be around to see it flower
That plant along with the purple pinecone I grew out from his stock are the reasons that I am popping the rest of my Sagarmatha gear before all of the other shit I have in the vault. Flavor, potency, and quality of high. Just have to find that one..

im thinking ive used some leaf mulch from leaves which have been contaminated, in my soil mix, I've never had 8 pips fail from a single batch/pack before EVER, so don't let it discourage you, ive seen and tasted some awesome sagarmatha plants.
Ive kept an eye out for posts about a rogue batch or some other issue, but nothing.
just got some riot cubes to try, never used anything like that before, so it should help the young ans

I do believe that there was an issue regarding his seedstock(not sure if there were issues with losing parent stock or just germ issues etc..) After he was raided years ago. These seeds are from just before that bust, hopefully I'll find one or two that I like. Definitely no discouragement here! Thanks for the reply.

I have grown out a few Sagarmatha strains.
Wonderberry- A cross of Blueberry and Williams Wonder---very nice, easy to grow indica dom, tasty, with better than average potency.
Yumbolt- Very, very, yummy taste with medium potency...but for me this strain is all about the taste...strong notes of earthy, woody, goodness, very nostalgic...late 1970's blast back
NL- A good representation of one of my favorite mostly indica strains...not the best I have tried, but not the worst...
Overall I like this breeder

Just purple pinecone and matanuska tundra for me. The ppc was my best plant potency and flavor wise that I have ever found. Total indica, tasted like purple incense(if that makes any sense) with a hint of pine. Not a huge yielder and more of a hash plant type, but boy was it amazing.
That's awesome you've tried so many of their strains. When was the last time you picked up some sag seeds? I wonder if he's working/working with the same stock..

That NL #9 was a real treat, I tried it many, many years ago, it has a little durban in it too. Phenos were all over the place but all of it was dank, so was his blueberry, i liked it much more than DJ's representation at the time.

Well, now that I think about it, I have not purchased seeds from Sag for about twelve years or so.
But I grew out some Yumbolt in 2013, from f-2 seeds that I made in '02 or '03...well worth my time and effort.
Sadly, you make a valid point because many breeders feel free to tinker with their established genetics...why they do this mystifies me.
Just let it be...

Theres a disclaimer about their auto's, THEY OUTSOURCE THEM FROM OTHER BREEDERS, JUST LIKE SENSI do.....they test each batch for germination rates, and that's it, like sex "it fills a gap in the middle of the day
, only this fills a neich in the market is all.theres a lot of pruneing with the sagas seeds IIRC, LIKE TAKE OUT THE CENTER OF THE PLANT AT 4 BRANCHES, LEAVING 8 COLAS ETC, do you do all of that?
