I think you're underestimating both the positive and the negative expressions. You pop a few packs of Chem D S1's and you will find something better than most hybrids imo. That being said...
S1's are literally the definition of a crap shoot, when half the progeny are weak and have inbreeding...
Yeah I think they might be right. Which would make the 91 'S1's' actually S2's. And some of the experienced chem growers think the other chems are hybrids. Nspecta himself says the chem 2 had bubblegum terps which is nothing like any of the others. Chem 1 is also wayyy more sativa.
I dont even know what you mean by 'don't do any further work where you end up with tons of shitty stuff.'
Mate, a reversal is a reversal. Doesnt matter who physically does it. The Chem 91 S1's from CSI, for example, have quite a few negative reviews. It's all genetics. There's no breeding...
Generally dont win multiple cups tho. Theres a reason its been used so much in crosses. And I will bet bottom dollar the PP theyre entering is not the clone version.
Nutrients are the most overrated, inconsequential part of growing imo, at least in hydro/soilless. Yield comes from optimal light, vpd, watering frequency and genetics. Get those right and the nutes mean bugger all really.
I was waiting for this sort of response but I simply dont agree with the analogy. Im no fan of theirs either really but they're not the In'n'out burger of the weed world. They're a rung or two above that imo, but yeah not the absolute finest herb in the world either.
Everybody's garden has...
I go back and forth on the flushing thing. Someone really needs to run blind taste and smoke testing on like 10 different people with 10 different strains and see if the difference is sufficient so as to exclude statistical anomaly.
You'd have to conceal any visuals of the ash while they're...
That wasnt really his point at all. He was simply differentiating the casual grower, from the enthusiast or hobbyist, from the diehards who live it and breath it and have their whole live's revolve around it.
The actual snobbery I detected from Francis was him saying Jungle Boys dont grow good...
Yeah this. For anyone looking to buy, recognise this company has had gross issues with stability across their fems....for years. We all know the Heisenberg drama and its still continuing.
Stick to regs.
Few people saying the quality has gone downhill. Gu claims he still uses the same Stardawg male but I'm not sure I believe it. I grew out Cake n Chem a couple years ago and everybody loved it.
Best thing to do is grow out a couple packs and see for yourself.
