Copper Chem actually has some beautiful copper fades in those buds. I scored my pack at auction for I believe it was $27.00... I can't wait to grow it out. I have the clone only Chem 91 I would love to compare it to.. I know they are different but still, would love to compare a clone only next to the copper. I also have the Corey cut of stardawg which the stardawg breeder himself said was the "most potent" stardawg pheno to date. I will likely be making some of my own crosses since thankfully I have those cuts. Another cut I have on board is a selected by Mcotek himself, 413 chem. I would love to see copper next to it as well. They are all only currently vegging right now but in a week or two they are getting flipped.
@whytewidow every seed I have ever germed that has come out with a black or dark tap root had been caused from leaving the tap root once exposed to water contact/saturation for too long. Now I am not saying this is what caused your issue but it did mine and it happens to me from time to time. Especially when I am popping 1000 plus beans each year for the outdoor guerilla.
My method I have used for 16 years has been to take a small cup and clean it out with a paper towel soaked in 90% iso alcohol, let it dry. Then pour warm usually bottled water into the cup and throw the seeds in and let them soak for a day or two in a warm dark area. I don't exactly wait for a tap root to pop out or a bean to crack open but usually they are exposed by time I put them in the dirt. I do it only to soften the shell up a bit. I have also added a drop of superthrive from time to time to help germ the seeds and it seems to work as well.
I have used the paper towel method a few times in the past with not as good results but I believe it is best to choose whatever method comes to you naturally. Paper towel works amazing for my friend but for me I get poorer results. For him, he gets poorer results trying the same method I use. Then I have also done great just putting the seed straight into moist promix and just letting her go usually with a heat pad below the tray. I have just as good success using that method as I do my soaking mehtod only add a day or two longer for the sprout to come through the soiless mix.
I am getting extremely impatient with these green point seeds, I was planning on waiting till that clone run im in the process of vegging right now was over but I am not sure that I can wait that long before I pop just a pack or two. I have almost every pack of seeds plus many triple and quad packs of every strain he has to offer so far except for maybe 2 or 3 and the polar bear crosses he has out there. I just recently found a link to those polar bear crosses and more stardawg crosses that have been gone from his site for a while. Of course I am going to go pull the trigger on those soon.
Here is what I got in the mail today but have a few more packages supposed to show up soon... I'm in a non legal state. Makes me wonder what the mail man is thinking sometimes (normal case of paranoia in a non legal state)... As the mail man is also a LEO on his side job...

Bad thing is I googled the address just for shits and giggles to see what would come up. The entire Google search was clear except for this site... RIU was the only link to that address and this specific thread. I believe whoever has posted that address on here should remove it for safety reasons. But that's just me.
