Dinafem is not a reputable seed bank, every pack I've run from them had a mutant in it.I have been visiting this website for years looking at various grow journals, discussions and articles. Some great stuff on here and it has certainly influenced my grows a lot. I am from the UK, but now live in Spain. From the 1st July, new laws were passed in Spain essentially 'allowing' the cultivation of Cannabis for personal use from your property, so long as it is out of the public eye or smells are not reported.
You also get various clubs/associations that are now distributing product to people, the intent there is to get them off the streets or obviously for medical benefits... However, it is not legal to smoke in the public and possesion fines have shot up, with police commonly loitering around the association busting people who are driving after a spliff etc. I think the fine is around €800.00, when the average monthly working wage is around €600.00, which is pretty brutal.
It´s all a bit of a grey area really, but at least it´s moving in the right direction.. Cannabis culture in Spain is thriving with local seedbanks popping up everywhere, and of course with reputable ones such as Dinafem, Sweet Seeds, Genehtik & Family Ganja to name a few.. Anyway, I feel it is much safer to use a forum here, so here I am.
Cheers!

Yeah strains are great thing.
cannabis is a pleasure to work with.
When you dont have time for some selection best way to start is from clones for the beginning for sure.
The seedgame is like roulette with most seeds on the marked.
I think small breeders with just a few strains can do some of the best jobs. But when they become famous and they can not produce enough seeds to keep up with orders it takes a non greedy person not compromising quality for quantity and thise are rare.
itsbhard for most peoplebto say no sorry seeds sold out if there are a hundred orders at 80 $/10 seeds for example.
there you have the quality drain in the seedmarked. Its greed in most cases.
but still rule of thumb is ...a drugfemale pollinated by a drugmale will give you more drugstrain. If the parental stock was from high quality you can still fund one fur plant in a 10 pack even when the breeder did nothing than pollinating.
a linebred high quality strain should give significantly more if bred well. But time lacks when you just in it for the dollar.
and on the other hand you have strains that just simply lack in quality but having a nuce name that sells them and maybe few good reports on few hq individuals. But they dont tell you that the ratio to find that one plant in the mostly lacking strain is very low.
the guy who wrote the report maybe found that plant in a pack of ten but how many packs were full of low quality individuals?
I heard good things on Jordan of the islands gear.
they are not too big in buisness yet and the gear seems not to be mainstream. I would like to try their gear just to see if I was right. Their purple kush and godbud sounds intresting

I agree
And most mutants at all I found in feminized seeds in general leaf deformation and tissue irritations but independendly from breeders name

Pretty famous here for its OG kush and auto flowers. My mates have had great success with the OG Kush - myself - never brought them and don`t really have much desire too lol Iv got a drawer full of packaged seeds from Dinafem, Family Ganja and Genehtik the banks give me at Cannabis cups in Valencia lol

A drawer full of seeds thats cool.
But if you want to run some autos give me a shot. Before this assholes stole my plants I just finished a cross of two autostrains.
I will test grow them soon.
I used a lowrider #1 as a mother (was not too happy with tge yield and budstructure of it but thc and short internodial spacing were great) as a father I used a brutalis automatic male.
the females of the brutalis all had tight cristal luden buds but wide internodial spacing.
I hope many individuals of the offspring will show short internodial spacing and high thc while having tight buds. We will see.
the lowrider ended up at 50cm the brutalis at 60-70cm.

Nice man, let me know about that! Sounds awesome!! How have you found working with autos? I find it luck of the draw with them personally. They can act a bit weird sometimes but then again I do not have much experience with them. Sucks about them getting nicked. Wankers

Was my first experience with autos too. I still cant see many benefits with autos besides filling empty vegspaces. I just wanted to play around with them a lil bit. Honestly I would rather go with photos everytime. I ran a 60 day wonder too and it took About 90 days to finish. So you can see the breeders description do not match at all. 60 days from seed to harvest was what catched my attention but since this is a lie too I only can see them filling empty vegspace.
Most photos can be flipped to 12-12 with little or no vegtime at least in a sog. And it will take 60-70 days to finish them. I cant realy see the need to work with autos here.
