'The funny thing is Peak seeds BC is a UK seed bank and the plain peak seeds is a Canadian seed bank'

No it is the other way around. peakseedsbc.com is the one in Canada. Look where you mail the order to and it says Canada. The other one says British Columbia on the homepage but that is bs. You look for contact info and it is in Amsterdam.

I just got my email that my seeds have been mailed today from the real peakseeds. 11 days since I mailed the money so this is going faster than the last order.

So which one did you order from? Lol.... Maybe I'm on the short bus today but I'm still not sure which one your referring to as the "real" peak seeds

After looking at both websites it seems to me this is the correct website:


The other one looks like a joke. Is that correct?

^^ You got it.

I assume the guy in Amsterdam tried to use the name of an established seed bank so he could get some business. Not the right way to operate so I would not trust his seeds or anything else.

so now we know for sure that its peakseedsbc.

I disabled those links don't want to piss anyone off.

That's some messed up shit. They just flat out stole peaks stuff. Even stole the font that they write there name with. How jacked up is that.

I like your style gt!

I had great luck with mandala 8 mile high a few years ago. 40$ for 10. I ran a few packs of their stuff but that one pleased me the most. actually I've got a big BTB gal just threw in flower from them, we'll see how she does.

I've got more experience with the mid range offerings, around $80 a pack.

some of the best things I've grown have been made by friends here at IC. can't beat free!

anyway, tagged in.

heady blunts Welcome brother.

I also ran some of mandala's gear circa 04-06. ran the kalichakra and the hashberry as was happy with both. The kali did get a bit paranoia inducing once she got older but the hashberry remained a staple for several years.

Your right gifted seeds are the best. Hopefully I will have a few from a good friend to run in the near future. Looking to run some after the mango if it all works out.

There are some great people in the community with big hearts which is only matched by there generosity.


bugman52 How's it going?

Ive never had the opportunity to run any of cannacopia's gear. if you have any pics throw them up or link us to your gallery. Would love to see them.


To all who have some good or bad experiences with economy seed lines let us know. We are like the Enquirer, we want to know.

I cant run them all so help a me out.

Peace

i bought the med man seeds featured in my sigs for $40 a pack. I think that may have been a special sale though...

Mosca seeds are all over the bay for $40 a pack. I'd think those would be worth checking out

Server fund has lots of fun stuff

hey guys and welcome.


bugman52 Whats up brother?

Nice pics of the CC.

Do you mind if I ask how much and would you do it again? Did you get the bang for your buck?


woolybear Welcome

I will have to go and check out some of your threads and albums. $40 is a reasonable price for a decent strain.

Your right I need to take a hard look at the server fund. Got to throw IC some support for all that they do for us.


Will have some pre and post harvest pics for the KC33 in a couple of days. The mango are well on there way and need to hit the flower room ASAP.

Anyone got some economy seed grows they want to throw up feel free, while we make the transition from KC33 to the mango.


Got a busy next few days.

Peace

"Outdoor grapefruit" from female seeds
Terrible rainy end of the season, plant still finished early with decent yield at 50N (228g, could have been way better) most importantly no more than 1% mold which I found amazing, this plant got soaked!

These guys breed some fine outdoor genetics for my latitude.
Good potency, taste, finishes as advertised, resistant to outdoor environments, if they can do it for €4-€5/feminized seed why can't others?

OUTSTANDING!! grow. You have a beautiful garden.

Thanks for the feedback on Female seeds.

Surprised they did so well outdoors that far north. Hard to believe the rain didn't take them down or fill them full of mold.

Great Info!!!!

They have some fine genetics. I enjoyed there C99. Grapefruit YUMMMMM sounds awesome. Glad to hear that the breeder specs are spot on.

Hey all.


Lester Beans Welcome.


Well I promised some harvest pic for the KC33. I apologize up front for the poor quality of the pics but they will give you the general idea.

The harvest came off pretty good. Even thought it was only 2 plants yield was substantial enough for me. The smaller of the 2 produced about average but the larger Thai pheno was much better.

Smell is lemon like, smooth and intoxicating but not overwhelming.

Not going to venture on the buzz just yet BUUTT the scissor hash was pretty good. Nice head high. Just enough body to relax. Not racey at all. surprising since the Thai dom could have gone another week easy.

I will post some dry weights and pics in about 10days:biggrin:

That is insane! Reminds me of that legendary Neville's haze pic with huge buds..
Always been interested in KC his stuff, might give it a try next time :)

KC33 is Afghani x Thai right? Really looking forward to a smoke report! There should be interesting plants in the F2's...

No one believes it, everyone I know that had plants out that season had shitty, moldy yields. I still hardly believe it myself :p All their stuff seems very disease and insect resistant. I don't use any chemicals though, I believe they wreak havoc on the plants immune system.

It even tasted like the grapefruit strain, even though it's a hybrid with Easy Sativa. I'm thinking about trying it again although I want to make my own hybrids with Maroc and Easy Sativa. Their Purple Maroc and Outdoor Grapefruit convinced me they make excellent mothers.

Hey All.


seedstasteyum

Thanks for the props. They have been a pleasure to grow. KC really deserves all the praise. :)

sprinkl Good to see ya.

KCs description is a little vague.

A Dutch strain, cultivated for years and crossed with Thai and Brazil male plants. The K.C.33 is further developed for outdoor growing, but is also, indoors, a Number 1. The buds are compact and have a lemony fresh taste. They also produce double THC

That dutch strain is suspected to be an Afghani. It is definitely Sativa Dominate. Look out for than 10x stretch, but finishes quickly.

These would make a great addition to your outdoor garden. Match these with that grapefruit and should make some huge outdoor plants:plant grow:


Useful Idiot My Brother.

Them is some fat juicy buds:biggrin:. KC done good I would say:tiphat:. You know what's mine is yours!

bugman52 Glad to see ya back.
$30 - $35 is a damn good price. Im glad you got your moneys worth. As long as it made you happy that's all that matters.:dance013:


The KC33 turned out better than expected.

In hind sight The pot gods smiled on me with only 2 females, any more and I would have hit overgrow.

The proof will be in the pudding so to speak. Give them about 8 to 10 days and we will have a smoke report.

As far as the grow they went fine. 10 for 10 germination. No sensitivity to nutes. Vigorous growth, these only vegged for 2 weeks from seed to about 6" and finshed at 6'. Clones easy and clones direct to 12/12 will finish around 3'. Yield, well the pics speak for themselves. Breeder spec say 6 to 9 weeks, More like 8 to 10.

Not to bad for the absolutely cheapest seeds on the market. Best $16 I ever spent.


Well as the KC33 spins down the KC Mango is spinning up. Ill work on some Mango pics and get yall up date soon.


Peace
GT
