I ordered a female t-shirt for my wife from them and actually got a male t-shirt. Ruined all my other shirts.

Wow, I am growing CC pre-98 bubba and I cut down a tester bud today, and to my surprise what did I find? A SEED! also In the beginning I was growing two pre98's but the other hermied on me early on so I trashed it.....

in before swerve replies.........

"IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT NOOB GROWER!!"

A seed? Who would have thought? A herm? No way!

Too bad so many of our dollars went into his pocket while most of his seeds went into our trash :finger:

EDIT: IM NOT ON HERE TO ARGUE OR PUT DOWN ANYONE!

hey btw... wouldnt u just get some random stuff in a BX strain anyhow? i may be wrong... but i was pretty sure that the second time a strain is backcrossed u can end up with some way random stuff along with the normal original genetics? im just geussing in response to the bubba phenos. hell im sure people have bought LA con, or Sensi afghan or something along those lines that was supposed to be 100% indica, and u still end up with a sativa looking phenotype or something. that is totally normal IMO. i have some seeds that were supposed to be sativa that look indica as hell, and flower fast too. it just happens.
that pre98 bubba from Cali Connection is still an elite strain if someone asked me. just cuz a few people found a couple sativas doesnt mean anything IMO. id like to see just how sativa they really were too.


Did most of , if not all of the pre98 bubba hybrids come from one of swerve's lines? or is that someone else's creation?



it seems like ive always kinda known something was weird about the whole bubba kush thing. GHS bubba kush sux ass crack IMO. it looked nice at first and finished terrible, a total waste. that is NOT related at all to the pre98 bubba. seems like a long time back i tried some bud called bubba kush and it had a dark, pepper like taste to it and it was purple. i wonder if that somehow was the pre98 bubba?

btw i think the first cali connection strain im gonna get is the "deadhead" og! i was leaning towards the buddah tahoe at first, but id like to try the deadhead cuz it sounds more skunky! skunky = me happy!

I've ran CC's DeadHead OG with no issues(bought right befroe the SFV F4 hermie trait incident), although I should have picked the purple pheno of it and kept it alive, oh well......I would consider Cali beans again if something struck my fancy, but nothing does,and I like cheaper beans that perform just as well if not better anyways!!

consider the Tahoe OG (i've never tried the Buddha Tahoe, im referring to the normal Tahoe OG). the Tahoe OG was straight fire for me, no herms, no autos. but, i never used CC's fem beans, always got their regs.

I just some of their beans a couple weeks ago, the buddha tahoe og, Then I start reading all of this shit, makes me paranoid. I should have done some research before forking out money for a pack....

Wish me luck.

you should ALWAYS do research before u spend your money on any product. that being said was it fem seed or reg seed? i hear most of the probs have come from fem. but i know a few members here have had good luck with CC gear, and i'm one of them. they are very sensitive to stress, be gentle with them.

Swerve said himself in a thread over at his forums that Big Buddha had the Tahoe too. That thread has disappeared and now he's saying big buddha's tahoe is fake. Why? Because Big Buddha's tahoe is less than 1/2 the price of CC's tahoe. And I'll bet anything it was femmed a lot better than swerve's stuff.

I only have one popped, yes, they're femmed. :(

I even read that the photo they're using isn't really a photo of the buddha tahoe? Damn, I just wanted some fire to smoke without any issues, I don't have money to just throw away. I'm hoping for the best, should have stuck with Barneys and Dinafem..... Had 0 issues with them.

I'm doing a multi strain grow under my little 600hps, vegging with T5.

I have followed this thread. I for one will highly consider buying CC gear next grow. Swerve has responded as i would want any primary owner. Sounds like he isn't hiding but out front trying to make good any issues. I've been in the legal plant bus and growers do run into issues as a plant is nature. Can't be manufactured as a plastic product. Good enough for me. Swerve has stated he is a grower 1st and not a seasoned Marketing exec. Understandable that some are not happy but with all the good things going on trying to get Cali strains to the world without clone only has its growing pains as any bus. Three plus yrs. ago when entering this hobby we had only old strains. Thanks Swerve for you're effort.....winner in my book.

I've grown out Deadhead, Tahoe, Pre98Bubba, Chem4, JMC, & Sour OG.

Sour OG was the only cc strain that was 100% herm free!!

The other strains would show pollen sacks very early in bloom, say around 2 -3 weeks. The pollen sacks only grew out of earlier lower pre-flower sites. (if that makes any sense)

I tend to lollipop the lower bud sites, so the hermi pollen sacks where not a concern for me as I lollipop the plant.
