Black cherry soda growers?

Yup, and they come with every pest you can imagineI now have a BCS clone! Progressive Collective really does have quite a lot of clones to choose from. Certainly saves the trouble of sorting through a pack of seeds to find a keeper. Although, it still may be fun to compare the females to the clone one day. Maybe I should be looking for a male insteadThanks again

That is quite the claim. Ive always had good luck with them and no bugs yet. Every strain always is what they say it is as well. Just my two cents.
Next time if you want you can just post "fuck you buy my seeds" instead of bashing a good shop with lots of good genetics. Got no time for shit talking seed peddlers.....

Oh no they have hipster yuppies and douche-y posers on them. Damn the more you try to get rid of them the more they want to be there!
Hey let's get back to talking about the BCS, it's a real beaut of a plant.
Next year, I will force flower in July to get a jump start on it finishing and bulking up a little more. Happy with the yield I got, super smelly and looks real good. Definitely need to clean out the inner area more, or have more time to spread its harvest out. Clear it out top to bottom, outside in.
Keep it going, have a great day.
Anyone done any personal crosses onto the BCS?

yep
My BCS outdoors last year, really had to leave it and lost some of it to mold because of all the rain and clouds last year.

I really like this strain. Easy to grow, a little sensitive to nutes. I use advanced connoisseur line. 5 gallon soft pots, sunshine soil, 1000 watt+ HPS, light on temps around 77, night time temps around 65, 4x4 tent. 6 plants took up most of the space. Fan leafs trimmed at 8 weeks, harvest at 9 weeks. Amazing dark cherry color grows from the inside out. Buds frosted to the stem when buds are broke open. Smooth smoke. The C99 lineage/taste comes through, but not over powering. Complex taste with a great up high slipping into a more indica type buzz after a couple hours.

Ok, so I'm a little confused. I thought BCS was supposed to be a shorter flowering indica with a good amount of color. I picked up some cuts from progressive collective this past spring. The results I got made me think it wasn't a legit cut, however, they look similar to what hatch brew posted:
I've read that it's also not that potent. This one is pretty strong smoke and smells like mega dank, rotting garbage (hence the name I gave the lab bc I didn't think it was BCS). Also finished later than I thought it would (mid Oct.). Is this really BCS or some other plant?
Progressive collective carries OK clones compared to other clubs in PDX. Powdery mildew was the only thing I could see on about 5 plants out of the 300-400 or so they carry. They are a bit starved in their small nursery pots on SS#4 also.

Cep, I am pretty torn. The plant in the first picture does look a lot like BCS and mine went mid to late October in southern Oregon, so it is a bit of a late finisher. Same structure, lots of top buds with noting underneath. But if it sells like garbage, its not the one. BCS smells like cherry candy, artificial candy. If its true its a huge bummer since I vouched for them. I just finished a big room full of Banner #3 and Platinum GSC. Every plant was exactly what tey said it was and no bigs or PM. I could have gotten lucky, but I dont ave room for moms anymore and rely on friends and clones to get my cuts now. If you want/need the real BCS let me know and ill arrange it
This was my BCS on 10/1/2013. We harvested on 10/29/13 because of a little mold.

I'm not really that disappointed. People like whatever this plant is. I just will keep calling it garbage or dumpster kush. If I do an outdoor grow up here I don't really want to deal with anything that goes past the first week go October anymore. If Progressive has a good plat gsc I might grab one. Its also possible they mislabeled the "bcs" I got.

I picked up that Black Cherry Soda from Progressive Collective in PDX too, but haven't had a chance to flower it yet. I'll see if it's real or not. What WAS real were the broad mites that came along with ALL of the clones I've picked up from them over the last three months. It's a damn shame, really. I cannot recommend.

When I looked at their clones last (March 2014) I did see a few plants with potential broad mite symptoms. I scoped them with 100x magnification but could not find anything. They were warned and I even walked them through ID and treatment process. Since I didn't actually see a mite I didn't say they had them in my previous post. Sometimes they get on a few plants and only a handful cause the symptoms and can be missed.
