Here's my OG Triploid....I have no complaints about it. Its definitely an OG, smells amazing(lemon pledge funk), very photogenic like most HSC strains. So far so good, no nanners, no balls, no mutations. If the smoke and high are good, I might keep it around.
I paid $90 for these 3 seeds and in my opinion it was well spent money (for me). Took her outside for pics under the sun

I was just over at Reddit HSC forum and a guy posted that his OG trip hermed and seeded some other HSC gear near it. He doesn't know if the seeds are viable, but the plants are attempting to make em, regardless.
That's a great looking plant, but NOTHING about it says... oh man that's the TRIPLOID genetics. I bought the 5 pack and feel like a complete idiot for buying into the hype and the straight bullshit coming out of HSC about how amazing this new TRIPLOID thing is gonna be. Everything bigger and better and faster... shoulda known better.
Cannabis seed industry is so full of flim flam bullshit artists.

Here's how I handle seeded bud, when life gives you lemons; make ice water bubble hash.!
It's really easy, and all one needs are the proper bubble bags.
In fact, if you're running fem beans; you will wind up at some point with seeded bud.
So, if you don't want to simply pick them out; just make concentrate. You'll actually wind up with the same amount of smoke.
But only with bubble hash, don't bother with dry ice extractions...horrible return. Same on butane type solvent extractions, too little return to bother with.
Also, one does need to keep a close eye on feminized during flower; and remove those pods near internodes.
But only with breeders like HSC, who can't seen to stabilize their work.
Here's a pretty solid guide:
:peace:

My goal by posting has now become focused on preventing this trainwreck(lol!)of a breeder from screwing over anyone else.
Please don't pursue your problems with them here. Seeds are notorious for having hugely different genetic expressions. I've gotten bunk from some solidly good breeders and it was just luck of the draw. I'm sure if I'd dropped enough of their seeds I'd have found something.

I think you should simply ask them for your money back and move along. But staying here in this thread making everything about you getting dealt a bad seed hand isn't allowed. If there is some good reason to share your story again you can but for now you need to give it a bit of a rest and pursue some other topics.
Thanks

So I recently contacted HSC via email and they responded back to me in less than 24 hrs. I requested a refund or exchange and they sent me a refund for both triploids I purchased...that was quick n easy! I wonder how many refunds they have been dishing out

They must have had a meeting and realized there was no way of making this look good other than refunds.
Did you see anything on your Triploid grow and/or what is your main complaint?
If the beans grow and don't herm, do they give ya what was advertised or was the whole thing bullshit from beginning to end?
I'm wondering if I should say something about mine even though I haven't popped them yet? Also, I wonder why "store credit" isn't an option? That seems so much better for them. Say purchase price plus 10% in store credit. Maybe they don't have a system that could keep track of such a thing.

They give you an option of replacement or refund.

So is it just nanners or are they full on hermaprodite? It shouldn’t be viable pollen either way right? If they’re throwing sterile nanners ,it doesn’t seem like thats a huge problem really??

I Grabbed their new drops in Jan, once it came out, 5 X 5 seeds packs. including the Dountz Triploid.
I planted 2 seeds, 1 triploid and one hella jelly.

hella jelly is fine, but the triploid is producing lots pollen sacks just like males, and on top that there is your female bud,

the million $ question is:
is the triploid pollen sterile ?

fuck, im not going to plant any triploid seed from that pack again, just asking for the current round.
