Hey there. I can never seem to find in depth cognitive reports on genetics from Seed and their respective breeders, especially chronicling Day 1 of germination, germination reports, etc, so I thought Id throw up a review of my own highlighting this latest order of mine from Attitude. Hopefully somebody finds it helpful/informative. Quick History: After blowing it countless times early on in the ten + years Ive been cultivating in and outdoors, Ive performed every Fail maneuver in the book regarding germination, including but not limited to: soaking seeds in cups of water for too long & drowning them, not securing a regulator to a heating mat and cooking them with 100+ degree temps, forgetting to check on the paper towel and allowing them to dry out beyond the chance of resuscitation, the list goes on. Because of these trials, Ive simply become a germination Wizard. If the seed is viable, I will get it to pop. Period. Ive lost too much $ over the years to neglect the Seed Code. With that said, heres the report card from this latest pack from 4 packs of seeds from 3 different breeders.
Blueberry(Regs) Dutch Passion
Having grown Blueberry roughly a dozen different times from DJ Short and Dutch Passion, Ive become familiar with and much prefer Dutch Passion's BB offering. Ive found the plant to be stable( only 2 or 3 phenos), extremely vigorous, and capable of producing top shelf blueberry muffin smelling buds if grown properly. There is of course the Blueberry mutant issue that one must deal with early on in the seedling stage, but Ive personally found the plant to outgrow this annoying trait once it gets roughly 5-6 nodes.
Latest pack report 10-26-12. Pack of 10. The seeds came in with the proper aesthetics one would hope for: dark in color, nice striping and nice and firm. Germination report: Approx 99% success rate with one on the way most likely making it a clean 100%.Disclaimer: I have zero confidence in Dutch Passion's genetics aside from their Blueberry. Ive experienced hermaphrodites with some of their other strains, and I cant ever risk trying any of their other offerings again for that reason. Their BB is legit though.
OG#18(F) Reserva Privada
My first time with this strain. I had good experience with Sour Kush and Purple Wreck in the past, Ive also experienced some utterly crappy genetics with DNA& RP and piss poor germ rates. In my opinion, theyre slightly overrated but do have some killer gear. Its hit or miss with them. They are outstanding with Marketing though
Latest pack report 10-26-12 Pack of 10. Although my photo displays 6 seeds, this was a pack of 10. The other four seeds are conveniently located deep in the shag of my oversized living room carpet, thanks to ludicrous, impossible-to-open perfume bottles they package their seeds in. Upon wrenching the vial open, of course my seeds were sent flying. 6 for now, Ill find the other 4 later Wayne Szalinski- style with a magnifying glass and a flashlight. Germination:100% so far. Appearance: nice striping, firm and viable.
Sour Kush(F) Reserva Privada
Second time growing this strain. The first time I was impressed with the quality and the buds had that true Headband taste and smell. Buds turn pure white and the leaves display streaks of Black/purple. An epic plant. Whats up with all the feminized seeds though? I may stop ordering from DNA&RP unless they start offering Regs in all varieties again. Theyre trippin if they think they can hold their place in the market with Feminized beans as their staple.
Latest Pack Report: 100% germination rate. Nice appearance.
Tahoe OG:Cali Connection
Hmm.. I gave him another shot despite some rumors of germ issues and stability with hermaphrodites. Im actually somewhat of a CC fan since growing out a pack of Raskal OG about 3 years ago. I still have my Fire Cut and its literally the dankest strain Ive personally ever grown. Its a dense, impossibly resinous heavy yielder that smells like SFV OG, yet avoids the lame, lanky, low yielding disposition most OG's are known for. However, regarding this latest pack of CC Tahoe, I am anything but stoked.
Latest Pack Report10-26-12 Pack of 10.seeds look fine in the package, but upon sitting in an ideal environment for two days now, they lack the vigor necessary to explode and throw out that epic white root tip the other seeds in this order displayed. Ive experienced this before and can only explain it as lacking vigor. The situation here could be due to some old stock via Attitude's shelf, but these rates are simply unacceptable: two or three lethargic seeds and the rest showing no signs of vigor. At this point, in my experience, the seeds are a loss if they dont engage within the first night or second. Major Drag considering these were the most $$ in the bunch at roughly $120 for a pack of ten. Perhaps its some old stock though. Whatever the reason: Unacceptable.
Ill continue to update as these seeds begin to grow up. Thanks for looking.
