I don't really care about all the drama with Dr. Gthumb. Or the prices, really. If the seeds make good plants then the seeds make good plants. That's what I care about. Talking with the guy on the phone he seemed about like people have described him. An old asshole. Personally I don't get my panties in a bunch over assholes. I like blunt and to the fucking point with business transactions. I'm not a fan of buddy buddy salesmen. The world needs assholes. The Doc seems to be filling that space.
I have never flowered any of his gear... but... I have 2 females of his G13... Yep $66.66 a seed.
You actually get 3 seeds for $200. I fucked up one germinating, but I have 1 rooted clone from each of the 2 plants and the orignal plants from seed which are being saved for potential mothers...
These 2 cuts go in to flower in a couple weeks. I'll definitely let the community know what I think. One looks more vigorous than the other.
I can say this.... normally when I take a cut from a very young plant it takes forever to root.
One cut rooted in 5 days. I couldn't believe it. The other cut was ready in 7.
With a mother plant i have had around for awhile 6 days is no big deal... pretty normal for the faster rooting plants. But a plant that had not even shown sex yet rooting in 5 days... that was pretty crazy to me. Just oasis cubes in a dome. No aero clone here.
The plants from seed are super healthy looking and growing fast. They are needing watered daily in coco. The plants around it are every other day.
From a customer service point... i have to say it was pretty good. I talked to some girl on the phone just before close... I guess she heard me wrong and sent out Iranian G13... I called daytime one day after receiving them and told Doc that I'm sending them back... send me the G13s. He said put a note in with the seeds and they'll send the correct ones. And they did. Mistakes happen. If they are willing to correct the mistake that is good customer service to me. I fucking hate the "we'll hook you up on your next order" bullshit. That pisses me off. I won't mention who, but two banks have said that to me.
I'll post when things get going. Am getting just under a lb per 600hps with some other plants... if G13 doesn't break lb/600hps i'll be a little disappointed. Looking at Grubers G13 grow... I don't think that will be a problem.
