Glad I came across this. I was wondering if it was just me or whether that Afghani was truly that slow. Popped all 4 regulars I got free from Herbies and all came out femme. She definitely does not show the progression of other girls that have been flowering for four weeks. Almost seems like a sativa grow as far a growth rate goes. Good to know about not liking wet feet, and now I know her slight claw at first was her not liking much nitro. I have noticed in the past 1 1/2 weeks that there is less claw since she is flowering and not getting as much nitro. Yawning while I grow her though. It's like watching paint dry compared to other strains at this stage. How was her smoke though after all the time and patience? I also grew the PK freebie. She yielded nice sized buds and a decent quantity. Still drying and curing her and haven't sampled her although my hubby has. Says she is decent smoke.

The smoke is not bad. One other thing that i noticed was the wet bud at harvest smelled like cat piss. Lol although she did have a decent smell after about 4 weeks of curing. Good luck.

I have a pack of these freebies too, everyone also talked down the seedman sleestack x skunk#1, it's one of my best plants (stinky skunky cheesey butter smell , nice structure, nice yield , lots of resin), so there might be keepers but they might be total garbage only way to find out is to run them.

Sleestack/skunk no1 from seedsman(freebie) was one of my first grows and like yoda said nice plant,I was very pleasantly surprised......still have a couple of regs in the fridge,I might give them a go later this year........

The sleestack x skunk#1 makes very uniform plants as well, I got 2 females, both are identical. They remind me of Mexican brick weed in structure, and plant color.

I been waiting for them to run out of those seed before i place my next order. Lol

The seeds I popped in were over a year old, kept them in the fridge and they all have popped in soil within 4 days. So that's no too bad so far.

I got some Strawberry Amnesia freebie that I kept a clone from. Wicked. Nothing else.

I dont think Vostock had one good word to say about them, they seemed fine to me but i wont flower regs so binned them after veg. I trust Vostock so idk just try one and see for yourself.

Not so much ..a Bad Word about these nuts or Herbies

more about 'nothing special seeds'

and a moan from me... that issuing the same freebies for over a year is wearing thin

I expect better from my own seedbank, and enough of the spin ...

I leave to Herbies competitors

Agreed, they seem to sugest they would offer different freebies but i still keep getting the same and yer for a long time now. I thought the idea with freebies was to let you try a few different strain but Herbies dont seem anything like that.

Bose · Mar 9, 2016

They do however ship dam near the same day. So at least you know your free Afghani seeds are on the way.

http://original-ssc.com/ I go through these guys because they always have different freebies and usually lots of them. I did herbies once, they were quick shipped and they all popped just fine though.

Worst strain I've ever grown,,I chucked em outside in the snow after 2 weeks in bloom, I could tell they wouldn't yield dick! And they grow like old people fuck.

I am still trying to hang in here with the Afghani man but I am now at a place in this grow where I fully understand the inclination to throw these bitches out and use them for compost. It makes no damn sense for these plants to be this ridiculously slow, with NO TRICHS 5-6 weeks into flowering? REALLY? But after investing love, time, electricity, nutes ... it is hard to chuck 'em. I am more tempted now than I have ever been though.

vino4russ · Mar 27, 2016

I Put in an order at Herbies seeds on March 17 and I received the shipment yesterday the 26th....very nice....never been disappointed by them. But I agree folks, I tried to get Herbies to trade the Reg Afghani seeds out for one other Regular seed....not asking to much and they declined my request.....

oh well, they must have allot of those F-ing seed ..... my advise to them is " Herbies, they need to change them out Bro"

explosive82 · Mar 27, 2016

I would definitely recommend herbies, i ordered from them got lost in the mail got it like 2 weeks later. They were offering to give me a refund since it got lost but i waited and they eventually came.

On topic tho the free afghan seeds they give you weren't good in my experiences.

kiwipaulie · Mar 28, 2016

All the bad reviews makes me wonder if I should ditch the ones I have sprouted, I've got enough other clones to sort my space anyway.

I feel ya, it hits the trifecta of bad with - Slow, Small and no frost..you will resent Herbies after you chop and think why the hell would someone send me that garbage strain? What a huge waste of time and space and soil.

Hmm yeah I thought they must be shit or else they would label them

Yeah.. Interesting that no breeder is attaching their brand to that dogshit.

How can you not finish a grow and then claim it was the worst?

I'm not doubting your cultivation skills but surely you must see your assertion here is strange. "I didn't do it but it was the worst!"
