I ran Reserva Privada's Sour Kush. It sucked. -RP's Kosher Kush was awsome with little nuggets but had major stretch in the stems. The little nuggets were quite dense and weighed a lot more than I thought they would. Very good quality smoke with a lemony flavour. Found the odd seed throughout the smoke. RP's OG Kush sucked. -Had a few herm issues but nothing major. Buds were mostly hairs, not very dense.
As for Cali Connection..... I ran Larry Og. It stretched quite a bit, but the flavour and quality of the buds was the best I have EVER seen. The buds weren't super dense, but definately visually attractive and super crystally. There was the odd seed in my finished buds, but I never actually noticed any pollen sacks during flower. I am now hooked on Cali connection. I won't run any other brands for a long time...if ever.
I am keeping a Larry mother. I am also now running Cali's Tahoe OG, 818 Headband, and a mixed pack seed, which are ALL showing really great plant structure with no stretch and tight branching.
I don't understand how people could bitch to the breeder about a hermie. That's fucking lame. You have to go through your packs of seeds and find the keepers. It takes time (MONTHS) and patience. You don't just order a pack of seeds and expect the genetics to be perfect in every seed. The breeders can only do so much and you have to sort through the rest of the bullshit yourself if you want a good mother plant. I've gotten hermies from all sorts of different seed companys. Some strains are more sensitive than others. I was shocked when I found out about this wave of negative comments directed specifically at Swerve and Cali connection. There are hermie seeds that are coming from ALL the breeders that I've every tried. It's up to you to find the keepers otherwise maybe you should just buy it from someone who enjoys growing and sorting through strains.
