Hey, where did you order them from, if I may ask?
If that's to me I got them straight from the source supposedly a local went out to Oregon on a tour to meet with dirt producers and see what exactly he had on the shelf sand met up with the owner.. He was able to get some stock from before they shut down the first time, I only got 4 of those beans and was luck to get a male that I back crossed for this next run of seeds. I will admit it was nuts the 4 seeds I ran where the same pheno something I hadn't seen and these where old so I took precaution to have good germination rates.. All his plants where the same pheno too.... Sounds like a fairy tale I know but I like to believe it.. Here is a write up on the company..
Background
Brothers Grimm Seeds was founded in 1996, when arrangements were made though Canadian seed reseller Heaven’s Stairway to distribute cannabis strains created by MrSoul and partner Sly. Known for selectively backcrossing, cubing and inbreeding some of the rarest of cannabis genetics on earth, Brothers Grimm became known for uncompromising quality & for producing genetic stability, high potency, short flowering times, heavy resin production, and intensely tropical terpenes. In 2002, the company abruptly closed due to security concerns. For many years after our seeds were no longer available, growers either jealously guarded their favorite clone mothers or shared them with their friends to keep them alive. Some breeders famously used our Cinderella & Apollo to create new hybrids as well as breeding filial generations as far out as F5.
MrSoul waited more than a decade to retrieve the precious clones and seeds he’d stashed safely away. In 2015, he met Duke Diamond and together they developed a concrete plan to resurrect Brothers Grimm in Colorado. The combination of these two breeders’ abilities, along with a deep reservoir of unique cannabis cultivars, is the foundation of our company.
It’s been a long time coming, and lot of work, but we’re overjoyed to be back. Our faithful followers can be assured that our tradition of stability and reliability continues with the re-release of our Cinderella and Apollo lines as well as strains developed in our new breeding programs. Selectively combining cultivars, according to strict genetic principles, we provide the finest cannabis genetics available.
Breeding Philosophy
Brothers Grimm are famous for creating high THC strains that produce consistently outstanding results. The creation of Cinderella 99, through a multi-generation breeding program, distinguished us long ago as breeders who take the time to do things right.
After a dozen years on the sidelines, we can’t help but observe that today’s seed market is flooded with poly-hybrid crosses, seemingly created with no logical, deliberate goal or breeding plan. Such seeds produce plants of many different phenotypes – like lottery numbers.
By contrast, Brothers Grimm only cross a male and female after having thought of all the reasons WHY we want to do so. We design our seed lines to produce consistent plants that all share the qualities we selected for in the breeding program that created it.
We are able to take this approach because our breeding stock is a rare collection of landrace and other stable cultivars, each representing unique genetics. Using this gene pool, we painstakingly choose and combine males and females in a deliberate program to create hybrid seeds which produce plants consistently displaying the desired characteristics. There’s very little variation; our clients don’t have to hunt through several different phenotypes hoping to find a good one.
So which characteristics do we select for, when breeding our hybrids? The goal in each breeding program will vary somewhat of course, but the general list of traits we are known for include:
Compact overall plant structure
Dense budding
Fast-flowering
No hermaphroditism
High resin production
Intense psychoactivity
Unique palette of terpenes
Optimal yield
Our stance on feminized seed:
Brothers Grimm are proud that our seeds never produce hermaphrodites. It has been documented, in scientific literature, that the creation of feminized seeds always results in a percentage of hermaphrodite offspring. This validates what we’ve always believed… and why we have never made feminized seeds. Besides, competent growers can tell the sex of their seedlings before they are flowered anyway!

I was very pleased with their gear!
