What’s the big deal with “Wedding Cake”?
I have confirmed with people I respect to the fullest that it’s not hype. Fire strong potent cookies and smell is very unique and nice. I’m runnng Animal Face now basically the same except different OG mom used. I got Wedding Cake going with a few other TK Mints phenos one that’s just like Wedding Cake but you will see wassup with her when I post it. Hope these other phenos I have are better

Damn man sounds fire
 
I popped a 10 pack of animal mints bx1. All 10 seeds germinated and I got 5 females out of the bunch. Out of those 5, 4 of them hermied. I contacted SJ and he said that if you feed too much nutes or stress them then they have a tendancy to herm. He recommended to remove the sacks from the plants that were showing hermie only on the lower branches and that I would be left with fire. I did this and so far no seeds and I do have fire on my hands. The one plant that showed no hermie traits is smelling like lemons and is so sticky. Another plant that had hermie traits on only the lower branches is so frosty and smelling like lemons as well. I took cuts and plan to run them again hoping for no hermies. In his defense I was running full strength Vegbloom nutes and I did let the pots dry out too much on one occasion. Overall, I spent $150 but got lucky and have at least one fire pheno with no hermie traits. SJ was cool to offer replacement gear as well. I'm in week 5 now can't wait to see what they do over the next month.

At least you can admit those lil mistakes that could’ve led to them showing herm traits on seed runs. People don’t realize that this kinda stuff can cause it but still very quick to blame breeder. Agressive training, topping, overwater, underwater, intense light and many other factors. Def looks like you got some fire can’t wait to see what comes of these Animal Face

I agree I also respect seed junkie saying all the ant animal mint crosses that came out where hermi prome...but like said if I get a Hermie then that's what ima post if I get fire then I'm posting that as well but I must say there should not be this much hermi reports.

4 out 5 "females" herming sounds like straight up bad breeding to me. If he did testing and that was the kind of ratio he was getting, he should not of released the seeds. releasing unstable genetics at top dollar tested price is bad business ethics, we need to stop jumping on the hype train for every new cross until these dudes prove they do even a moderate amount of testing. not saying im not guilty too lol, but they straight robbing us at these ratios .

glad he offered up replacements though, i woulda swooped on that : p

agree man with you I've I've worked with Forum cut thin mint cut and it's never hermi all the time and if it does it is the Breeders fault I can almost say that cookies almost never Hermes on me but every once in awhile it kicks a little bit lot of breeders use that as an excuse and see junkie isn't one of them so I just hope they can tame it down.

One would think, but there are so many popular cookie crosses now, that quite a few of them are stable. I won't name other breeders here, but there is cookie gear that will produce the opposite of some of these Animal Mints bx packs, lol.
Sure but some but seed junky frost action is undeniable

I hear some breeders insist the bank buys their seeds outright and others work on commission.
I bet they have a minimum of a 100% markup on seed packs. I speculate they make over a $1000 in profit, a day., but im just guessing.
I'm thinking the seed banks are doing well for themselves, especially breeder vendor banks like Greenpoint.
Toby from OES said something about owning a car detail shop, but now vends seeds.
I bet these guys are so busy running their seed business, they probably don't have a lot of extra time, especially running around to cups all the time.
seedsherenow pays mycotek about $3.30 per seed up front and generally those go for $100 per pack, some packs less some more than others. As you know some crosses produce more seeds than others too, but you can pull a shit ton of seeds off of one plant. Not the most lucrative, but money to be made

eedee
So it sounds like Seeds Here Now must be making a killing with over a 200% markup per cost of seed, especially since the breeder is also flipping the bill for packaging.

glad I dropped in here, I was seriously looking @weddingkake while a few are still up for grabs.
it's a shame, hate seeing the herm issues with such a nice one like WC
on the bright side at least the cajones are hi quality :D

Just saying some of the frosties plants I've ever grew out were mutant on a lot of different occasions and actually turned out to turn out real great!!
Very true, look at all ogkb phenos. I popped some slurricane seeds and had nothing but weird seedlings. I picked the ones that grew normally but should of kept the weird ones too just to see how they turned out.
