I picked chemdawg on the scraps i smoked sexing them.
Chemdawg?

As far as TGA, I’ve smoked some of his stuff. Slymer and Jillybean stand out for their flavor and smell, but nothing was what I would call potent. His strains also tend to be very similar to each other, but I’m guessing that doesn’t bother many here. He’s also one of the more divisive characters, and I fall into the camp that thinks he’s an ass with an oversized ego.

TGA...I fall into the camp that thinks he’s an ass with an oversized ego.
I do too, but he is not alone in that.
I think it's funny you use my join date, which I note your account is barely 3 years old, to one of the communities that people that have been around since the overgrow days (as I have) would put on the lower echelon of mj forums. Google/facebook linked ads, trackers, your data potentially being mined and sold off, and don't even get me started on the amount of true noobs with sick looking plants and poorly executed setups giving out advice to other noobs.... blind leading the blind here at riu/grasscity. I only joined here to see the pictures, had no real plans to participate tbh and you're confirming why I had those plans.

I've grown thousands of seeds from around a hundred sources over the past 12 or so years, I know what's out there and who is faking the funk and who holds it. Am I some kind of growing god that is going to claim superiority in skills/knowledge over someone else even if it were true? No. I'm also not a small closet grower in a legal environment (if you are, more power to ya) so what genetics I grow/have grown is a bit more important to the overall journey than it might be to the guy that can go to the dispensary and get good shit to cover mistakes/poor decisions.

Subcool has posted publicly that he selects plants for taste, bag appeal and smell. He doesn't select for structure, potency or stability of intersex traits. He's told people that are looking for the things growers care about to lower their expectations on those characteristics when running his gear. All fact that if I felt like justifying my stance I would spend 15 minutes googling examples, you're just gonna have to take my word for it or research it yourself.

When I saw someone recommend TGA over gear from people like Karma, Chimera, RareDankness, CannaVenture, BOG, the list goes on; I had to speak up and point out the flaws in his gear. Are there some winners in TGA gear? Probably, grown full packs of 4 or 5 strains and didn't keep a single plant. Nothing was worth keeping from a potency/ease of growth standpoint.

As far as the Canadian comment goes I have a few friends up north that grow. They all grow 90s weed (tastes good, lower odor, potency lacking... more of a session type weed) or stuff from A'dam which today is still basically 90s weed. Was it in good taste? Probably not. It was a smart ass comment poking fun.

You can take or leave my input where I left it, idgaf. Telling me to gtfo and trying to invalidate my opinion based on my join date is laughable, it really is. You've got your right to be wrong in my eyes just as much as I have mine to be wrong in yours. Maybe you should take a toke of some nice GPS gear and think about the golden rule. Hopefully our next interaction will be more pleasant on both ends.



some tga gear I grew in 2008-2009, note the great bag appeal and nanners.
I am sure everyone is very proud of your accomplishments, but for me; Zero fucks given.

I legit think that's a bot spamming because the posts were fairly unintelligible.

I have learned through the years that if you don't want to limit whose gear you grow just assume every breeder is a big tool and only let the gear and the path the breeder took to produce said gear as your economic-moral compass.

His soil mix is another thing that's good/bad that he gave to the community.... a double edged sword similar to his genetics. TLDR: Needs more Ca from different sources than is in the recipe and should go from a straight peat/coco - drainage - compost mix + amendments instead of using bagged soils as a base.

I have grown TGA jilly bean lacked potency but had great flavor, chernoble was potent but I couldn't get a decent yield out of it in my door setup. In growing mostly Greenpoint. First 2 photos are pioneer kush20180725_135334.jpg 20180725_135324.jpg 20180725_135208.jpg cowboy kush, eagle scout, tomahawk in veg partition of my green/shade house. Running these organic.[/ATTACH]

Thank you for the information!
It's been my experience that Cult Classics gear also falls into the not-so-stable, strange growth category.
Got a few called 'Purification' in flower now and it's been a strange ride. Only got 8 out of 12 to germinate but ended up with 4 females. The runt is outdoors, but her sisters are indoors on week 3 of 12/12.
Holy shit, are they different!
None of them has good branching, and they all totally sucked in veg.
Now that they're in flower, they still want to be single cola plants -- even though they're 6+ feet tall.

What a pain in the ass!

I hope the bud is worth it.

My Jupiter & Beyond started horribly, and I only got 5 plants out of two packs (24 seeds).
Most of those plants sucked big-time, and now there are two.
I still haven't checked them for gender... :dunce:

Here are the J&Bs

@quiescent When you walked through the door swinging your dick like that, what did you expect?

A truly experienced person should know that newbs fly through talking shit constantly on forums like this. Your post got exactly what it deserved from me.

I don’t know you and you don’t know me. It seemed for a moment like you had forgotten we are in mutual ignorance of one another.

I haven’t been growing long but I am a bright old fucker. I won’t underestimate you, if you’ll extend that same courtesy to others.

I have no quarrel with you, I met bluster with bluster because your approach was boorish.

You seem smart and pretty reasonable, we just hit each other a bit wrong out of the gate. I can let it go.

You're right, I forget I'm on the internet sometimes as you can't properly convey the message with just the text. The Canadian comment sounded way funnier in my headspace at the time but probably led to the whole comment being taken the wrong way.

My post seems boorish because I was literally on the way out of the house but for whatever reason felt the need to respond. My messages are usually a bit more eloquent if needed and I have the time to craft it.

I underestimate no one and really don't have a grow ego, we all start somewhere.

Same bro, no beef here. I responded in the way I did so as to not burn any bridges as I don't need internet enemies just like anyone else.

Here's a sexing question--if fem plants puts out seeds, is there any way to guesstimate the general trend for sex of seeds?

I've got some seeds from fem plants. Had some light leak issues so not sure if they self-seeded or got some pollen from another plant

Second question, if it is herm seeds, are herm seeds worth planting?

Lol, we are all meatbags.

I had a shitty morning due to a friend of mine having a meltdown, and your post probably hit a nerve I wasn’t aware of. I’m not even Canadian, lol!

All good, this is a thread for celebration and many danks.

I do the same I just thought with older seeds maybe I just take it further
Ty for the reply
If you have any urb after you scuff them. Give a soak in it. Str8 out the bottle. Non diluted. If you have any. For 24hrs. Or gibberellic acid either or. I have ton of old beans from my dad. I pop stuff from the 70s. Using the urb method. Then into paper towels. Then to your media.

I've used 3% peroxide as well. It gives the taproot extra oxygen. But I've noticed in my cases that the paper towel really isnt needed. After they crack. Using water and peroxide put em right in your media. But the urb natural soak I've found is the best after scuffing for older beans. Or beans that are thick shelled. Jus soak it in like table spoon of urb natural after scuffing. For 24hrs. Then go to either camp paper towel or your dirt or however your running.
