dominion seed company duke diamond

I've seen that a few times. I'm glad I snagged a couple of his skunk crosses.

For sure, that's why when I see some seeds I really want I buy them even if I can't run them for awhile. I waited too long to buy my first pack of seeds and missed out on something that is not around anymore.

Never again. I'll always support the seed companies that are doing it for the right reasons. I don't care about the flavor of the week, how cool your ads are, I want curated genetics that yield quality phenotypes.

So many of these new-school fools just throw 2 flavor of the weeks together (and I do mean flavor, what is up with all these dessert strains?) and call themselves breeders. Oftentimes, they've never even grow out their own f1s to see if it's any good!

I'll always support the real breeders like Duke & Skunk VA.

1) They were around to experience and appreciate old school underground genetics. Both men sacrificed a great deal personally for cannabis during the height of the war on drugs. They know good weed. Period.

2) They have the best genetics available. Chemdog, Skelly Hashplant aka the Puck, SFV OG, the old SSSC skunks, the east coast Afghani, etc.

3) They both take an incredible amount of pride in their work with cannabis and are extremely humble and honorable.

4) Detailed information about seedstock. These guys go above and beyond showing the results of their grows with their own seed. You can see they really want people who buy their seeds to succeed.

5) they sell regular seeds. Other companies offer feminized seeds only. Feminized seeds are fine and have their place but offer regular seeds alongside them. It's kind of a cop out to sell s1s if you didn't develop those strains yourself. People will take clone only strains they have nothing to do with, reverse and sell s1s for a ton of money. I don't agree with that, personally. Now if you spent your own time and energy developing and inbreeding a line yourself and sell feminized, I can respect that.

6) They want their seeds to meet or exceed their parents. They focus on potency, taste, and flavor.

Now I just have to figure out which seeds I can't live without. It's going to be quite the effort to narrow the list down as I'm excited about a lot of their offerings.

With Duke not offering any more seeds, I'll have to pick some up now. Got some on the way from Lucky Dog and more on the list. I'm not missing out on these genetics.

I really am looking at the Chemdog x Afghani from Duke Diamond for a phenotype hunt. Could you imagine getting 100 of those going and just searching for the funkiest of the funk? Actually, it would be a dream to do that with any of Duke or Skunk Va's offerings. One day...

From what I gathered from dukes last interview with Adam Dunn, it didn’t sound like Duke was finished just yet. I think he said he had a few more projects he was finishing..... I believe he said he was releasing a “Dick in the Dirt “ offering. So thst might be the figure four releases. The he mentioned a Sativa line he was working on and then something fruity.
Duke was very vague in what they where......it was a Horrible interview anyways, coz Adam Dunn can’t shut the fuck up for two seconds. Jeff Lowenfels was on too if I recall correctly.

Smoking on some freshly harvest Sisskunk today, from my buddy’s notill grow. Strong as fuck, and smells like gasoline and BO Funk.....

Out of about 50+ strains I have smoked in the last 3 years, the Sis Skunk is the only one I COULD NOT SMOKE BEFORE WORK. That shit IS, "Dick In the Dirt".

Just discovered Duke's gear not long ago but held off on buying for the moment. The variety of skunk/chem crosses were appealing. Looks like the time to wait has passed. Might just have to cop a pack of somethin for my next grab. Was thinking Sour Skunk but it's sold out . Maybe the Burnout Chem or Polecat 91BX. Any suggestions?

grew out 5 seeds got 2 females both were winners and lived up to the name burnout #1 smelled of exactly that burnt rubber chem funk With a slight sour smell to it pheno 2 smelled like bleeding asphalt/Tar on a hot summers day this particular pheno wasn’t as complex as pheno 1 smell wise.it just straight smelled like asphalt both were strong smoke I grew indoor 1st and am currently trimming up the outdoor cuts of them now It’s interesting how smells change slightly when grown outdoor under the sun

Right on, I love to hear feedback like this! Perfect example of good breeding.

I couldn't agree more about the indoor/outdoor deal. It's so wild how a lot of strains grow so different indoors and out.

Some grow completely different under the sun and even smell and taste different.

For example, Chemdog. Chemdog grown indoors and outdoors smells and tastes a bit different.

I ran a Dutch Dragon clone years ago indoors and it didn't yield much so I just had the mother hanging out in the veg room in a corner. I ended up giving it to a friend who was short an outdoor plant and it ended up being one of his biggest producers.

Thanks for your info, that is so valuable when trying to decide on strains and seed companies. As for me, a striking endorsement is choosing a strain to be part of your outdoor crop.

I hope we get to see some pictures of your ladies! =)

Definitely agree with u on Chem smelling/tasting noticeably different at times when grown indoor vs outdoor. Could b just phenotypes at play but I think it's more than that alone.

Nothing growing atm like I said I just finished trimming the last of my outdoor and Jarred them up plus I’m afraid my outside lot would not be that impressive compared to some growers on here because a cop has bought the house next to mine restricting my efforts this year and giving me some serous paranoia but that’s how it goes when things are illegal where I am I have a long list of seeds I’m thinking of starting up soon indoor but still contemplating what. A close buddy of mine crossed my pheno 2 of burnout with a winner Male he found in his pack of glue sniffer from twenty20 genetics so got plenty of those but polecat bx has been begging me to start them off ahhhh so many options so little time and space

Fuckin police.... Bringing nothing but negativity, anxiety, and destruction wherever they go, no matter what their intentions are. Those guys r the worst, they suck.

That cross sounds interesting, have u grown any of them out yet previously or would it be first time?

Hard To play the game we are with big brother so close that’s for sure and no I haven’t yet iv only just shucked them haven’t even thought of a name for the cross yet but I’m sure that will come when we grow out a few our thinking was to bring the early trich production of the glue sniffer and see if that trait comes through in the progeny having some fun really breeding has always interested me but all a learning process really

Burnout x Glue Sniffler = ...'Drug Addict" ? "Burnt Glue" or "Dont Try This Alone"?

Haha terrible names idk.

Here's a good interview with Duke on the Dude Grows Show.
The most telling part happens around the 38:00 mark when they bring up growers complaining about the pricing of Duke's gear.
"Aww man, $120 man (a pack), I can do this in my closet."
Duke's response "Well then go for it motherfucker but quality costs" and he couldn't be more right.

This was something that Subcool (RIP) had also stated during his last fews months, "People want cheap seeds, not good seeds."
He equated it to the beer market, where Budweiser out sells all imports, and microbrews, combined.
Budweiser is cheap, it gets you drunk, and that's all the consumer is looking for.
Imports, and microbrews, may have better flavors (yum), higher proof (gets you drunk faster), and higher quality ingredients/brewing process (less likelihood of a hangover).
So even though Budweiser tastes like shit, and makes you feel like shit the next day, ultimately the customers don't care because of its low price point.
Sadly, this is were the cannabis market is heading, as well.
This is why we'll see more top breeders like Duke leave the seed business entirely.

I ended up with 8 females from a pack of Dominion Skunk.
All 8 females were nice looking vigorous specimens.
I've chosen 4 females to regenerate based on structure, yield and overall appearance at the end of flower.
2 of my keepers are mostly skunk and less Chemdog in bouquet, while the other 2 are more Chemdog and less Skunk, but the buds had a cool size and structure.
The other 4 that I did not keep were Chemdog dominant in smell and structure, which I am not interested in in this cross.
Overall there was chemdog stink in all of the females, however it was muted in 2.
I meant to take cuttings and keep a few males around for testing, but I have a bad habit of creating more work than I have time to do, so I will try and regenerate.

DS #1
Very large central cola with very little branching.
Smells of Chemdog but has something else going on in it's structure. Perhaps, this is Skunk or Hashplant?


DS #2
Rank Skunky and Chem


DS #3
Chem dominant


DS #4
Lemon, acrid, and skunky Chem

The other 3 of 4 that I did not keep, 1 was chopped early from bud rot.

Burnt Glue sounds like a winner to me will need to grow them out to see if the terps match the name I hate strains that have killer dank names and end up not matching the name haven’t grown it personally but purple punch being a prime example have seen a lot of people say it lacked potency but thank you if the cross works out I’ll definitely be using burnt glue

Looks like you CRUSHED IT @Bakersfield
congrats!
