Greenpoint seeds!!

Garbage man took em away. I have quite a few seeds, its never taken over 2-3 days for seeds to crack open before.....I knew if they took weeks the plants health would be compromised at best.

Not even close. Sometimes they just have a hard shell and take a while to get going — especially in these colder months. Sure it took two weeks for them to sprout but as soon as they did they took off. If my lights weren’t off I’d post a pic right now, but suffice it to say that even though they took a ridiculously long time to sprout, they’re some of the healthiest, most vigorous plants I’ve ever had, if not the most. No idea why they take so long to sprout, but it’s definitely not a sign of anything else.

Remember we work for the plants. They don’t work for us. It’s our job to be patient with them and give them what they need to do their thing. I’ll admit I almost gave up on the ice cream punch but a gut feeling prevented me from tossing the pellets, and I’m sure glad I waited.

I'm 64....Grew outside since 1972......and you are gonna tell me about plants?

Wow. Every strain varies, peoples indoor conditions vary.......

Might not run The Deputy Pack I have, lots of noise on this strain.

I had bananas and balls on lowers with my 3 Deputy. Probably why it’s discontinued.
One pheno was very burnt rubber and lime. Awesome flavor. But too unstable. I ran them outside last season and no herm. So if you do go for it. Do it outside.

May gift em to my outdoor growin bud

All I’m saying is that my experience suggests that these seeds take a while to germinate and that once they do they really take off. Not a huge difference between the two we tried. Not trying to “correct” you or anything like that, but I do believe my experience is worth sharing and relevant to all the purple punch crosses. Just putting it out there, and not trying to say anyone is wrong.

I ran a few deputies, only 2 or 3 females I believe(not sure what happened to the rest of the pack) and I dont remember any hermy problems with them or anything. And I remember one of the deputy I tried to reveg but didnt make it.
That plant was so F****** potent it was rediculous! I really didnt care to smoke much of it because it would be such an intense overwhelming high that I'd just start freaking out and panicking over nothing LOL coming from an everyday pothead. Other people loved it though, everyone wanted it.
Not only the potency was a 10 but the bud structure was what everyone wants to, alternating stacks nodes deep down to the top and was a very calyzey plant, very little bud leaf, very easy trimming. She was a true keeper. I do remember the other female or maybe 2 females didnt resemble this one much, they were just your steriotypical "good" bud from Greenpoint.
Let me know what you decide to do with them, if you decide not to run them and interested in getting rid of them.
I think youd be happy though.

My indoor grows are plant count limited. I have less patience with seeds that dont germ then others do, I guess. I grow more then Im supposed to and give away plants I dont want. Have family not far away. I'm aware runts sometimes end up more potent or catch up on growth sometimes.

I totally feel you on the plant count. Luckily my girlfriend and I both have a license so mine is double. I’m technically a little bit over and anxious to get rid of all the males that have yet to show themselves. I can have 24 veg and 8 flowering and I really need to get rid of some males as well as toss a few old nirvana phenos. I’ll admit I was about to give up on a lot of the gear I got from greenpoint but everything really pulled it together. The plants that were growing slow perked up and even though the ice cream punch took forever to sprout, once they did they really took off.

Im 2 for 2 on GPS Tombstone.....went 1 of 2 with GPS Tomahawk.........1 for 1 on Copper Chem, all last yr. But Gu bred those regs. Im hoping Heisen is as good on the fems.

I ain't got time for runts or sickly plants.
Yesterday I culled an LVTK that wasn't keeping up, looked pale, and suddenly stopped drinking water.
The roots looked fine and weren't stinky so it probably wasn't rot.
dunno

Plants are like people -- some of them just suck...

so true!!!!!

I was worried that both my pebble pusher and OBS were bad packs. I almost tossed them all but realized there was nothing to gain from making room at the time. Every single plant started out runty and took forever to get going, but I think it was a combination of cold and wet and too much light. Everything is growing like crazy now. I think the silica and calmag supplements helped too. Can’t say anything bad about anything in my tent at this point. Now I’m just beside myself with anticipation. I think all 4 of the GPS strains I currently have growing will be awesome. They’re all starting to get big. I’m hoping I’ll be able to sex them in another week and make some room for the Larry.

The Beans looking Amazing!!!
I am so Hyped now


Ice cream punsh


Sour cookies


Dreamcatcher

Those ice cream punch beans look just like mine. I’m sure everyone is tired of me harping on being patient with those beans, but please don’t give up on them. One of them took 18 days from the time I put the seed in the jiffy pellet to the time it broke the soil. I’ve always been iffy about soaking and paper towels and whatnot, but old habits die hard and I know when I’m just being stubborn.

Are those rockwool? Yeah I know jiffy pellets are far from the best but they’re cheap and once the seed is planted I don’t have to mess with it anymore. Old habits. I hope you’ll post progress with your germination. I’m interested to see if anyone else has the same issues.

I also changed my mind about holding off on starting the Larry. I have room for like 5 more square pots in my tent, so I can easily do two. I’m starting them as soon as I get home from work. I don’t know all that much about breeding, but the main reason I got the Larry is because I think it will be pretty stable, being a backcross and all. I’ve been disappointed with other OG crosses and I think this one will be reliable. With the Larry and a good FPOG pheno from the pebble pusher I should be in good shape. A little further along on my objective of having a stash that makes the dispensaries out here look like schwag.

Rootcubes are coco i belive very nice for cuttings and germination seeds. If you don't try than it's your faul. I will post every part of my GPS grow but i need to wait a Month i dont have the place today.

Glad your seeds came in, Fiete. I know what its like to wait a long time, Seedsman took almost 5 weeks to my house. I did order on Dec 14th tho, just before Christmas.
