Cali Connection Seeds: Buyer beware

I've got some caliconnection packs back from the first releases on the farm. These are regs... Deadhead og, larry og moemist. Then a pack of fem pre 98 bubba kush s1. Never ran any of those. The pack of aliendog v1 (chemdawg d x alien tech) were all male, so I made a few personal crosses turning lemons into lemonade.

No it should be grower beware.
Did you use peroxide? RO water
Maybe ph'd too?
Just a few questions to ask yourself before you trash someone that has over 20 yrs of a good rep? Believe me there are tons of new pollen chuckers out there.

Thats great, when did you get the seeds? Were they fems or regs?

This definitely wasnt the case for me. None of my phenos were even closely related to what id call chem. The closest looking pheno i had smelled like walnuts, it was gross.

i have bunches of stardawg crosses anyhow. Im sure any of these crosses will blow swerves' 'work' out of the water.

Very potent stuff my friend... a little too narcotic for me.

Super frosty, in my pic a little bit heat stressed

All them crosses carry herm genes in them. Can't blame the breeder really. Blessed with the curse. Fire dankk weed that can herm if your not on your p's and q's. Research your genetics and breeder. I have also grown both no problems.
Nicely put always have good experiences with CC myself and there's risks with everything we decide to grow image.jpg

My recent OG did good no issues for me and several previous .....better luck next time OP

Those early Bubba S1's were pretty awesome. I ran a pack all good. The Alien Dawg and Moe Mist both good too (probably since he didn't make em). All downhill from there though. Many herms, many duds, many non germ, all $150 a pack down the drain. Won't ever buy again, wouldn't want em for free. Wouldn't trust Swerve as far as I could throw him.
 
Hello good people of the cannabis community.

I normally don't post on grow forums but I was compelled to share my experience with Cali Connection's Tahoe OG Kush.

I purchased six fem seeds of Tahoe OG Kush and Larry OG Kush. I ran the Tahoe seeds, all germinated. The growth was really slow and the phenotypes varied drastically. Out of six seeds I had four distinct phenos, that alone should have been a red flag *UNSTABLE GENETICS*

FIVE of the SIX girls HERMIED. Only one was half-way decent but even that pheno had a terribly low resin production. The resin production across all phenotypes was so shit that I honestly scrapped the entire grow. I've been growing for over 7 years and have never encountered anything like this.

I'll probably just throw away the Larry OG fems. Waste of money, waste of time, waste of resources, and in the end all for nothing. I wish I could speak directly to Cali Connection, I would demand a refund. Never again CC.
Damn I know this is an old ass thread. But for anybody that's reading this Callie connection has not changed a bit. I had the same exact problem with Tahoe OG. The most unstable genetics I've ever seen in my life. Ball sacks growing right off the stem. Only one out of six did not hermaphrodite on me. And the only one I had left, looks like nothing special to me. I also tried their Girl Scout cookies a year before this. And the same thing happened. All but one hermaphrodited on me. And the one that made it didn't even look like weed. It looked so bad I couldn't even give it away to somebody. The only reason I gave Tahoe OG a chance was all the hype I heard on the Internet. I guess I a sucker. The bitches got me! How could I have been so stupid. Now I realize there's a lot of paid reviews on the Internet. Cannabis is a big business, and big businesses know that growers are reading these forms. Watching YouTube. And there looking for consumers. So here's an example, a owner of a Seedbank will pay a bunch of his Friends to write reviews on as many weed websites as they can. Saying that this strain is straight fire. And hype it up as much as they can. This industry has just gotten dirty as hell, like all other industries. All I know is the owner of Cali connection,Swerve looks like a little kid who is straight up punk. Yeah his genetics swerve back and forth male and female lol. Maybe that's how we got his name. That puts out some of the most unstable genetics I have ever seen in my life. They don't give a damn about the customer. They offer absolutely no consumer support. All they care about is your money. And by the way all my other plants were fine. The grow environment could not be anymore perfect. The only problem plants I had were the Cali connection plants. My other strains were just fine as always. Well just like the guy before me said, thanks Cali connection for wasting my time, my money resources, it just makes me sick

attempted swerve's grape og and grape kush both freebies both mutant lettuce looking things. on the other hand the deadhead og went on to produce some pretty popular phenos one being the sun simulator cut and whichever one has been used in countless crosses by several breeders. another cross that managed to become a huge favorite in New England is a clone of his Purple Chem or chem91xpre98 which really is some of dankest smoke whether flower or concentrate. so even if few and far between there are keepers to be found in swerve's gear but personally I'd rather leave it to whoever feels like hunting for it

I wouldn't buy from them hearing all the horror stories. $150 a pack to find 1 non-herm per pack? No thanks, that makes it incredibly hard to find keepers. Not to mention expensive if that keeper isn't in the first pack you buy.

Yeah there's certainly no doubt about that. Endless people getting herms, if only they were legal company we could get together for a big fat class action

Best weed I ever grew back in the early 90s was my own cross of Skunk#1 and NL5 cross (the real stuff) and it had Hermie tendencies but I couldn't stop growing it cuz was unbelievably potent smoke!

I grew Cali Connection LA OG Affie end of last year and I still have the strain running in both tents now, great smoke, no Hermie issues, I did a report on here about it
-good luck!
