Your latest seed purchase?

From what I have read / heard / experienced is that the larger breeders may actually outsource their breeding to Spain or somewhere else and ultimately their quality drops. I've been burnt with Barney's farm and greenhouseseeds. I wouldn't recommend them.

The brands I keep an eye on on attitude are:
TGA Mzjill
Jinxproof
Bodhi

I've found all strains from these breeders to be high quality. The seeds are also fresh and sprout faster with gusto compared to seeds from big names or freebie seeds.

Yes no doubt those three are solid breeders for sure!

Jinxproof is awesome very positive good dude who brings a lot of awareness for autism and similar developmental disorders…

His 9lb hammer is super heavy smoke for one example, I grew it about 6 years ago, and I’ve only heard good stuff about Mz Jill’s Jillybean F2’s and other strains too but especially that one

and Bodhi I’ve been collecting a good amount of strains from him but I haven’t run his gear yet because I’m testing for Norstar Genetics

but I will run at least one Bodhi strain this year and I only hear people rave about his gear and many other breeders in the USA use his gear as a mom or pop for their own originals too…

I grew 1 Cotton Candy Kush in my last grow. Flipped at 4 weeks but she didn't start flowering until I dropped the light schedule to 11/13. About 1.5x stretch and she had to be fully supported once the buds started coming in. When I say fully supported, I mean she's floppy af and 2/3 of her would have been on the floor if she wasn't.
At 10 weeks she was nowhere close to finished. I finally chopped her at 14ish weeks and there was minimal amber. She's a little below average yield. She does have a pretty potent high that lasts about 4 hours. Ymmv

thanks my dude. i will have to wait a bit to run this , but will keep it in mind. i didn't know about this and thought it would be like the durban poison i am running. it's super fast, i just took it at day 62...i would have waited maybe a week longer but it had a bud with nanners on it...i had already found 3 about 2 weeks ago for no apparent reason. did you run Si or have a lot of air flow in the tent? i had super thick stems this time around. last time everything flopped but i didn't have fans on the plants.

You ever buy a pack of seeds.. or worse in my case.. 2 packs of seeds.. Bodhi's Tiger Tail.. and then they just completely and mysteriously go missing?

It makes no sense. I'm driving myself crazy trying to find them.. I recently made a list of all of the genetics/seed packs I bought in the last 6 months.. it took a very long time to get it all together.. and I noticed Tiger Tail wasn't on there. But I did buy them. Whats even worse.. is everything that's on this entire order is missing from my seed collection. I can't find any of it. It's depressing.

Crap man, that’s never happened to me with any order. I hope you are able to locate them. Or at least figure out what did happen to them.

well that is the shipping email, so assuming the tracking shows delivered...
.. if you're not a tobacco smoker, you might be able to follow your nose to the stale cigarette smell

I definitely received the order. I remember distinctly having the packs in my hand at some point. I'm afraid I might have thrown away the shipping box without removing the contents by mistake. Oh well.

Headie Gardens just restocked. They'll go quickly
I've snagged 2 packs of the Appalachia f3's

Click to expand...

Hey all, I’m looking to get some Appalachia F3’s.

Headie Gardens sold out and hasn’t restocked. Can’t seem to find an email to ask them if they are sold out or will restock the site.

Anyone have good luck with Riot Seeds? They still have some in stock, but not listing the Ole Slew Foot freebie.

Thanks all.

doubtful riot offers any freebies. hard to say how long it takes to receive an order from him, website used to say expect 30 days. although you shouldn't worry about him ripping you off.

I’m holding regs of Serious Bubblegum, and an unlimited amount of F2’s of that one. Go for it, my packs 10 years old but Simon @ Serious is serious about his craft.

Sure some naysayers will say “it’s not what it used to be” but ask those people how it grew for them 10,15 years ago and last year. They won’t have answers, just replies based on what they read on Internet forums. Also, remember many peoplelove TGA, but that company introduced more people to hermies thanany other breeder. Every pack is a gamble, but we all love to gamble.

By unlimited, do you mean you will send me 30 or so?

Yeah man because all TGA definitely was known for was introducing hermies to the industry, a lot more than all the wannabe breeders or pollen chuckers out there now, with hardly any growing experience, who use cheap ass flashy packaging with candy and desserts on it, IG “drops”, fake accounts and pics to hype up the bs “auto feminized 40 day flowering 35% THC strain” they’ve developed. Don’t forget the names, like Apple biscotti cake. Lol. I love how many people take time outta their day to ignorantly disrespect a dead man who worked very hard to share knowledge, genetics, and amazing terpene profiles with the industry. When especially where I was located at that time, everything was mostly an OG kush indica hybrid 9 times out of 10. Variety was a lot more rare than it is now, exotic terpenes were also pretty rare, and most Sativa hybrids were not grown nearly as often unless for head stash, due to longer flowering times and some being a bit finicky.

As a former TGA tester and someone who's been around since TGA was in their infancy at Breedbay and only sold their gear through Seurbidz auction listings before they went big.. and also as someone who literally has grown over a dozen TGA strains myself.. and never had a plant go full hermie.. I totally 100% disagree. The likelihood of someone/others making such a claim that TGA gear produced hermies was probably more related to inexperienced growers, poor environment, stress induced plants, etc.. and not the fault of TGA. Subcool throughly tested and grew the majority of his strains and had more documentation and grow reports on his work than the majority of breeders out there. In fact it's rare today to have any of these seed makers today publish anything about their work before releasing seeds to the public.. something that should be mandatory that you just don't see done anymore. Todays pollen chuckers that call themselves breeders.. the ones that throw pollen at a room full of cuts and immediately send their gear to market.. Subcool/TGA was never practicing like that.. some thought went into his work and usually a strain/seed pack came out one at a time with some thought being put into each cross before it was made.

Now you have guys doing this..


Hey look it's pollen from one plant reversed hitting everything.. just like the project before this.. and the one before that.. and the one before that.

That wasn't how TGA worked.

@MonsterDrank See I wasn’t even a tester, as I barely discovered TGA mid 2008 or so. But everything you mentioned is completely true, and plenty of evidence and people will back that up.

I think some people possibly messed up themselves and caused a hermie accidentally, and chose to blame Subcool and his gear, if they encountered any hermies from him. I certainly never have, and have grown many many TGA strains, crosses of them, and a test strain or two I got when buying seeds from Mz Jill at Emerald Cup, years before the fire.

Subcool and his approach towards growing, producing seeds, testing strains, documenting everything, doing the Weednerd show on YouTube, all of it together showed how passionate about this plant he was. Something that is often missing completely from the industry today.

RIP Subcool.

Yea facts. TGA had alot of great stuff. Black cherry soda..vortex..space queen. Im missing alot..but those were notable for me.

Its a shame tubfool had a midlife crisis near the end and started doing...stuff& things.

But despite that alot of the genetics tga pumped out were used in many popular pieces thru the years.

Exotics also has/had some good stuff. I find exotics gear can herm easily..most yield not much..but he does have some terpy strains. Prices are mental tho. Blackberry cream was crazy nice. But its all just pollen chucking. Hes been riding the cookies&cream/ red pop wave for abit. Now it seems its falcon9. Ive heard falcon 9 yields so looks like hes attempting at bigger yielding polyhybrids.

His 'new releases' consist of aclusterfuck of everything hes created..recreated..reversed..recycled..'limited new releases' fetching high pricetags.

Pass on exotic and all the falcon9 offerings lol.

If your looking for tga norstar genetics on IG is/was auctioning abunch of older tga packs. Might find stuff you want!!

I learned a long time ago.. to take everything you read on internet forums.. especially on RIU with a grain of salt. I'm skeptical about anything I read on here lol. This forum has lots of newbies with a wide range of topics.. some of which are completely and utterly ridiculous.. but there's a good amount of knowledgeable people on here too.

I have this buddy that lives near me.. he's not on the grow/internet forums but he's been growing for 10+ years and he's still not very good at it.. he recently told me he doesn't like Bodhi seeds because his gear is "average" and he prefers to grow fem seeds from Tiki Madman.. this is a guy who also has had fungal and powdery mildew related issues plague his grow the last few years.. he's just not very good at what he does.. but he never takes responsibility or blame for his actions. It's always someone or something else's fault. A lot of growers aren't very good at what they do.. I've seen more bad growers in real life than I've seen good.. and everyone has an opinion.

People either can’t understand or refuse to understand that if seeds are shipped through customs without proper documentation, any seed will get pulled by customs whether cannabis seeds, tomato seeds, tulip bulbs, etc. It’s a protection against invasive plant species entering the US, not specifically anti-cannabis.

I’m sure Ace has dealt with a large number of rude US customers who had their seeds yanked by US customs and expected refunds or unlimited reships and so Ace stopped selling direct to the US.

I can agree, I think it is not an easy shit to make this documentation.

i don't want to ruffle any feathers, but how do you think ace seeds gets their seeds to resellers in the states? all legal and documented? doubtful. sent seperate from packaging like anyone else. My point was offer a 50% off code to be used through usa seedbanks for us ace fans to benefit from. obviously I like their seed lines.
