you know you can just go buy the crippy the tk and a bunch of other tightly regarded and held genetics at po dont you?
look at the po 2015 coming soon list. lol
they are offering the crippy. i shit you not. lol they actually posted that. im guessing they have some fakes but i wouldnt be surprised at all if they get their hands on a few real deal cut from time to time. word on the street is that they do frequently have what they think they do. but they also are known for having renamed mixed up or outright fakes..
sorry. once again i forgot to turn on my sarcasm font. i was poking fun at them for listing the crippy. its silly. they are pretty known to be the last place you wanna pick up gear and they are known for fake cuts too. it was hardly a promotion. sorry to hear about your experience. that sounds brutal. i would have a chip on my shoulder too homie. lol. that is the worst.For the love of god everyone stay away from Progressive Options. xxxstr8edgexxx, if you don't work there you should read the next couple paragraphs and stop promoting them. They've been perptuating the broad mites and nematodes for years now and they don't care. I went in there about 4 ears ago and talked to them about my supplying cuts for the co-op and they said, "bring in some nugs with the cuts so we can verify the strain is legit." I did and sold them a tray of clones. Within about 2 minutes they were on the counter for sale and some we're being purchased while I was standing there waiting to be paid out. No inspection, no quarantine, just on the rack then out the door. I wonder how many dozens of members have done the same thing, and what condition the cuts were in.
When I left that day I took with me their Power, sour dubble, deep sleep, xxx, and a few others. I vegged the plants and they looked ok, but about a week into flower they began to herm out, and for some strange reason the cuts I took weren't really rooting properly. Finally got roots after 3weeks and the clones looked like shit. I called P.O because they were awaiting my delivery of a couple trays and people were on their waiting list. I said "sorry I can't deliver them, they are like a foot tall and look terrible and going in the trash." I also mentioned the hermies and they gave me attitude and of course said it must be a light leak. Then they replied " bring in the tall ones, we'll give you $3 each instead of $4 and we'll sell them as teens."
At this time I had never heard of broad mites and had no idea what the problem with the plants were. I assumed it was lockout from possibly contaminated nutrients. This guess of course was way off and now I have to live with the guilt of passing these things out to unsuspecting growers. I was on their website a couple months later and they had an article posted about the broad mites. They had known about them months before I came in, possibly a year or more. They knew the tall clones I sold them had been affected and they didn't care because @$15 each when they pay $4 and they don't need to grow a damn thing. I was in there last year, since I had the mites and couldn't get rid of them I thought, what the hell, try a few more. I mentioned to them that their mites wiped me out and they said, " no worries, we finally got rid of them a couple months ago." So this confirms to me 100000%they have know for years that they are ruining peoples gardens and careers. Z should be put in jail.
Yeah most of their cuts are real but good f#cking luck with that. I just had my first healthy crop after four years of hit or miss with the mites. I moved and started from seed.
Lots of the DNA OG stuff was great, had the birthmark (lol, slight mag def in OG types) and was stoney. Who gives a crap about the Hawaiian web florida crippy marketing scheme. I'm sure the seeds will be fine as OG has been S1'd a million times and is inbred enough that its fairly stable. Good luck with your campaign In orange county and southern Ca in the 90's anything that wasn't mex was called Crypt , or crip buds. There's was no chronic, or dank, or green buds. These other foreign terms moved in with the advent of the internet. Good marketing is all about bullsh!t and hype, not lies. Hopefully your campaign is based on the former and not the latter.
How is everyone not tired of hearing this dude change his story every few weeks?
how does everyone have mites enough to kill plants but they can't see any of em?
i can see a spidermite clean across a room if it moves. up close i can see trichomes with my bare eyes enough to tell cloudy/clear/amber. i'm just not buying this broadmite infestation with nothing visible before it's too late
So growers that have multiple cup wins under their belts are inept? World renown breeders are clueless? Seriously?but i hear so many people blaming what looks like ineptitude for the most part on broad mites... just sounds like a load.
Agreed, broad mites are a relatively easy fix as long as you know what you've got and treat them accordingly.Its the Nematodes they pass out to everyone that are the real problem... Broad Mites are one and done these days with a handful of Miticides ... for real
Its the Stem Nematodes...trust me... I was the one who told "Z" he had BM... he went home...scoped his plants...and told me he saw 1000's!!!!
He even used to praise my old handle OsWizZle for saving his ass...
They are the Home of Nematodes Inc
i'm guessing broad mites are much smaller than trichomes? cuz if i can see tiny trichomes i'm sure i would see something that small crawling and moving around. i'm asking btw. i've seen a lot of bugs, all kinds of mites, never anything i couldn't see one of moving, certainly nothing i couldn't see a whole colony of at once as they were destroying my crops. just for sng's i googled broad mites for more pictures than that infamous microscope scan. saw a buncha pics of shitty looking plants half dead, and i saw a couple of pics of mites crawling all over plants, some from right here on this site. those mites were like much bigger than spidermites. google broad mites yourself and go to the pictures. smack in the middle of page one you should see a pic from this site. i even found a couple of pics of russet mites those things were tiny like spidermites but still visible.
all i'm saying is broad mites seems to be the new go to excuse for bad growing.
