Not yet, but 3 months isn't that long compared to some of the long flowering sativas (NLD) that you grow
Nope, no contact here either, are you saying we shouldn't hold outdoor spots since it could be months yet?
For me 3 months is like a short nap, but for these folks wanting to grow out some DP NOW it'd feel like a lifetime. I hope they dont have to wait that long, but Im not known for my optimism..
I wouldn't hold space open for the Durban Seeds, as I dont know how long they will take to get to you guys from the Bay. I hope quickly, but I dont want someone holding up space for weeks, or even months waiting on these seeds. Utilize your space as best you can now. Im in no rush to see tester results from you all. Im a patient man, and can wait.
Maybe the testers should all PM Oldpink with their safe addie as a reminder. Maybe we can light a fire under their asses if we annoy him enough. That or we get banned..hehe.
Heya all.
This is for all of you that have been testing, currently testing and hope to be a future tester. I just want to explain a few things. Testers are put out there by up and coming breeders and established breeders for a reason. This is to have their new wares documented thoroughly by a range of different growers with different grow styles. The cost of these testers and getting them to members has been covered by the breeders and by seedbay. It goes to say that when you are chosen to do a test grow that you are availble to start it ASAP on receipt of the beans and on ICMag. The number of test grows that are documented compared to the number of test beans that have been sent out has been in decline and recently has come to light that some deem it okay to do test reports on other forums. This is not acceptable as far as I am concerned.
Between ourselves and the breeders a lot of time and expense goes into sending out these testers and if there are not sufficient reports or reports go elsewhere then something has to change. I fully understand that there are many that honour their position to do tests. I also understand that there are many that just want free beans. So its time to start reigning in a bit. I will now have to document each member and what they get whilst checking up on proof of grows. Then it will be a matter of members that do not honour their position being struck off from future free test grow beans.
Test grows are done for the benefit of the breeder and the community. For those of you that have been consistent with your tests thank you very much for your time and efforts.
Cheers
Still going to wait some first, as I was looking to send Old Pink a PM I ran across this on Seedbay test grow sub forum:
I did send in my safe addie as well.
kinda looks like to much K, or a possible ph problem. There are only a few nutrient issues that cause that kind of canoeing.

I have not been contacted either, but am in no rush, I have no room right now. Let me know how it goes shooter.
Very strange looking mutant Dave, quite cool as a novelty. I wonder if a % of its seeds will do similar things. Then we know its genetic and not environmental.
Clarence has a good point.Testers need to follow through contractually with their test as agreed upon.
Getting testers out in a certain window of time should be part of that same agreement for obvious reasons.
Testers should feel honored for being chosen but those seeds are not free because there is a ton more pressure and labor involved with the test......Fun labor.
The Icmag is filled with ditched grows....It's shameful.
Good to know. I'll PM Oldpink and I just opened the fridge to search for my CBG Durban seeds to soak,if I get some good news from the postman soon enough that will make a nice side by side grow and if not, hey I'll figure something to do with the hole.For me 3 months is like a short nap, but for these folks wanting to grow out some DP NOW it'd feel like a lifetime.

Yeah, with everything going on @ the bay, I figured it'd be a while, possibly never (hope not). I'm a patient man though, and have no problem waiting... You know that old saying, with the good things and the waiting... And hells yeah Ill be making seed! Big Bertha has convinced me that a Laos/Durban cross is in order, plus a (Hz/Sk)/Durban would be awesome. Probably just cross DP with everything I got!

Curious to see how this mutant will turn, those diformities make me think of a malicious micro organism developping on young shoots.

I'm feeling the same way man. A beautiful deep purple DP cross with everything, first gotta be Purple Haze. That Laos/Durban sounds fire.
Sucks bay might be going down but the site will still last time. Even if we gotta donate straight cash without seeds, we gonna keep this thing going and going.
Dave, ever think about sending them out yourself man? I don't know if you'd feel safe doing that, no pressure . Cool knowing someone else don't really worry about PH anymore.
Happy growing and stay safe everyone.
Today, there were only 18 listings active on Seedbay... 18. Its sad, really... Was a great seed auction site once, looks to be in the past now. I hope its just a hiccup that will be sorted out soon, but, when I saw the active listings today, didnt get the best feeling about SBs future.
OTOH, I would love to see more of your DP/Thais! BB alone, IMVHO, is worth peruzing that cross further! Ive never had a 21 gram main cola, thats just redic! Did the ounce yielding sister of Bertha have a nanner or intersexual traits? I didnt see it mentioned, although I might have missed it.. And yeah, I have a Hz/Sk keeper I love, and finishing up now... In fact, I just posted pics of her in the Revival of the Ultimate Sativa thread. I think she would pair very well with the DP, and will be hitting her up if I do get a chance @ testing these.
