Dr Greenthumb Seeds Iranian Diesel

My questioning is based on my personal opinion that DGT is a hack and a rip-off artist of the first degree..

$150 a seed .... the guy is a crook!

I'd put my money on it NOT being Iranian genetics. Go ask Storm_Shadow if he found any auto-flowers in his field of such genes...

Seems, MIGHTY convenient that in 7 seeds found in hash that one just so happens to be an auto-flower necessary for early flowering genetics in the far north. Yeah. "Convenient".

What was shared with me:

The "Iranian Indica" is actually Reibsi's Auto Affie cut and someone sold DGT a cut...

ve seen many pics of both iranian auto and auto affie,,,,they look identical!

Ok didnt read all the posts on this thread but many. I may be wrong but I think Dr Green Thumb got his auto Affie from a Canuck grower called Rebsi. He used to hang out at UDG.

He has used this in many of his crosses.

I grew out Endless Sky around 10 years ago and it was one of if not the most potent weed I have smoked. I am only a guerrilla grower no indoor show . I want to make sure my back story is out there.

Although I only grow outdoors I have smoked many indoor strains and still have not smoked anything more potent. I will say that I dont believe the Endless Sky he has now is the same as I bought 10 yrs ago. There were no fem versions and I think he has auto affie mixed in it now. I am not a breeder or strain aficionado just a old salty guerrilla who found Dr Green thumb many many years ago.

I have not purchased seeds from him in 10 years and can not speak for his current strains but Endless Sky was a winner when first released.

Dr GT ripping people of with garbage genetics is nothing new at all, that scam artist was robbing people way back in the early OG days, I remember people warning others about Niagara being bunk way back & all downhill from there. Dr GT has always had shill accounts spamming for him, that goes way, way back also.
With all the legit awesome genetics & crosses out now ( and for years) , why anybody would give $1 to that crook is a mystery = Taking advantage of suckers 101.

The S1 bit is NOT arguable...it's a matter of genomic fact.

I suppose when people say "it isn't doing any harm" - I'm not so sure I agree.

The only reason people like DGT are able to succeed with such business tactics is because of the massive influx of new growers and their general lack of knowledge in regards to genetics...and by genetics I don't mean strain names - I mean genomics.

It is that fundamental lack of understanding that allows the new grower to be sucked into thinking they are going to get a 1:1 replica of a "elite" "authentic" "clone only" - which is grossly misleading, to the point of being negligent, to even allow a consumer to THINK that such is going to be the case.

IN many circumstances...a properly selected male who has been crossed to many different females to understand his qualities and what he will pass onto the next filial generation - in combination with an understanding of how a given female breeds - when intelligently paired, will often times not only result in plants that are VERY CLOSE to consumer expectations of a clone (especially within an F1 population where gene trait combinations are limited) but will often times result in plants that are PROGRESSIVE and BETTER than the starting female parent individually...

While it's GREAT to wade through the genetic possibilities that exist with a single parent - ie selfing - it does very little if anything at all to bring about progress...and that to me, is NOT breeding...it is a breeding tool.

Is there a market for such things? YES! Is it wrong to capitalize on said demand - eh, I guess I can't say it's philosophically "wrong"... but then I don't know. Is taking advantage of an individuals lack of knowledge for capital gain...right?

Personally, I'd rather be the guy at the other end of the field with 5 people listening to me babble about TRUTH...than the guy with 100 people waiting in line listening to a sales pitch. I put my head on my pillow at night knowing I've not only helped educate the consumer - but also know that I am in pursuit of something better...something next...as opposed to merely milking what already is.

Every time I think of DGT I just want to start an S1 company that offers all the big "elites" for $25 a pack...and you know what? People still wouldn't buy them because for some reason, perception and modern capitalism has us fooled into thinking that if we don't pay a high dollar amount for something then it is of little or no value...and everyone would STILL pay the high prices thinking they were getting the better value...sigh. :wallbash:

:beat-dead

:yikes:

$150 for 10 ghost cut s1’s doesn’t seem too bad. Assuming the seeds have good germination I think a pack or 2 would do ok if you needed an og and only had acesss to seed.
