Greenhouse Seeds releasing "old school skunk"

[SpacedCWBY]

I've heard a lot of bad about GH and Arjun. You gotta admit though, they know the marketting end of the business and that's one of the strongest skills you can have in business, even if your product is below par. They've proven that with numerous cup wins. Everyone bitches about the quality (can't say either way as I've never experienced it) but they still win. That just goes to show you how powerful the right advertising campaign can be. Good genes or not, they're making more money than God.

Or it proves that the Cup is all politics, if you will.

You also must remember that for good or bad Greenhouse seeds company has been one of the leading seed shops and outlets in Amsterdam, I know many growers who have shared genetics there over the years, especially in the early years. Arjan nearly ran me over on his way into work one day, must be nearly 20 years ago, listen, he was carrying a lot of seeds of many varieties with him that day and he still is today. Some of those lines from back then may contain very important genes worth sharing and saving. I personally have no doubts that they have original lines.

Greenhouse seeds has been through lots of changes along the way, but there is no doubt that this is one of the oldest of seed companies still in operation today and they undoubtedly do have a lot of very old if not original seed stocks. Let them do their work with those lines as they might just have many special treasures in the seed stocks, whatever they call it, if it is a pure, old skunk line it might just be very interesting and very important to preserve. So let the seeds and plants speak.

this is the most intelligent post in the whole darn thread! well said, HHF.

Looks to be money better spent elsewhere.

i'm not he greatest or foremost authority on cannabis ,but i do understand marketing and capitalism. some people would sell you sugarcoated shit with a smile if there were enough people to buy it.i find it ironic that some of the strains come from so called smalltime breeders. i know guys put in a lot of time and effort in their select , breeding , and so forth , but how many of the alleged world class growers would piss on you if you were on fire? how many times has someone shared a bud or seed with you that was head and shoulders better than anything that was a so called plus $100 cup winner? funny how in this game everytime the community is looking for something considered rare some snake comes from under some rock with just what people are looking for.with all the different strains in the world and all the differrent preferences in taste,and highs it is mathamaticlly impossible for the same company to consistanly win year after year. this is not sports where you only have 25 teams every season.

Can we forget about the bandwagon here for a minute? read HHFs post again..........
Cmon people, sounds like u just copying someone with a real opinion on the matter.
Lol might as well copy paste "bullshit" from the first few posts, thats what i tlooks like was done to me, paraphrased or not.

Damn I no longer wonder why our G99 name was taken by DNA, I bashed those fuckers so badly, and now, GHS crew has seen people post here about RKS and see a demand for old skunk...well, good luck finding it fuckers, we all know that you guys are full of shit when it comes to breeding, marketing-no worries there, breeding-well, franco said that you need a lot of lights to breed and that he has so fucking much of them I just have to believe him...yeah fuckin right, how about, eh, sun, that enough watts for breeding or do I need 10 or 20k before I can start?...genetics play a minor role in their game, seen that, I wonder where they buy that good weed that 1% of their customers claim theyve had in the past...fucking pathetic all this shit, and this one sockpuppet is gettin on everyones nerve, are you Orange69 aka Swietdreams or are you the too drunk guy havin "krismisdinir" or whatever it was? BULLSHITBULLSHITBULLSHITBULLSHIT.

I agree with HHF, Arjan must have lots of real precious genes in his possession, but then again so must other folks like Sensi Seeds, Dutch Passion etc. but how often does something new and unique come out from one of the older companies?

I reckon it takes a lot of hard work to stabilised a strain so its easier to import genes and work them and sell them, Dutch Passion, TFD, HGF and others have released new strains that are derived from genes imported from elsewhere but I can;t remember the last true original from one of the old dutch companies.

Perhaps the ban on growing for seed in Holland a few years back has set them back a lot. Still, Sensi have finally released a new strain 0 Eds super bud, but come on, thats a long time since their last new releases, makes you wonder what they are doing apart from counting your money, doesn;t seem they are breeding new varieties.

 

[Farmer John]

I am very sure that people here have a shitload more genetics than most of the commercial breeders/seedco's...and thats no dreaming guys and girls, we really do have, it's not about the money, somethings you just cant buy...passion, not greed.

 

[Qwazi Mota]

Arjan has money and he pays alot for clones thats how he does it
and the herb at his coffee shops always sucks
go to the grey area they always got the killa DNA weed!
farmer john G99 = Grape fx x C99

 

[Farmer John]

I have nothing bad to say about DNA weed but that G99 name was already in use, theyve been into breeding just as long as I remember their first seeds being Who's Your Daddy, but thats cool, ours is C99xG13, peace.

 

[Mr. Nevermind]

If it were Sam the skunk man doing the RKS project or him giving beans to greenhouse to find RKS in i would go for it. But if not i just see it as trying to cash in.




Nevermind

 

[Farmer John]

Didnt he say that hes only interested on the sweet one not rks and thats about how his stock is...I got some good red hair Skunk while in a small place near SF, old californian grower, outdoor bud, THE taste and smell..

he said while he was breeding people preferred the sweet over the RKS so he went that way with it. But times have changed and i wish he would re work his skunk for the RKS




Nevermind

 

[ndnguy]

He says he has the real RKS just more important things to do.

 

[Nept]

he says she says.

Exactly.

This is what RKS smells like. If you ever ran into one of these or had one walk through your yard, or even hit one with your car. You will know what "RKS" smells like. I lived in the mountains for a few years and would have this one skunk walking through the yard all the time. Mostly when the sun was setting. I would have to close all the doors and widows. The odar was so bad. This is what the "RKS" or What i and others call American Skunk. Before the Dutch got ahold of it and made the change to the less odar with the sweet taste. This is what GH is hoping they got, but i truely doubt it. Not trying to be mean, just think they are trying to cash in on some dollar's is all. Kind of like how you can buy a Cup. The famous question and it's been posted many time. "How much money do you have and how bad do you want to win!" Oh, and throw parties for us and take us out to expensive dinners also, but it's all hear say,lolol.
Take care,

lol, some healthy skeptisism isn't Bull Shit Nept, it's no more BS than your personal opinion..

I forgot to mention that they plan on releasing 'trainwreck' too?

so...



Sure, GHS/'KOC' could have some great seeds in the vaults, and maybe even some RKS..


But, I have only seen a few positive grows (Hawaiian Snow) from post 2k stock.. and this isn't Hawaiian Snow.. so I'm skeptical..


I don't care about all the BS surrounding GHS.. I care about good grows and results, and I jus haven't seen much from GHS..

I do care that 3 of their new or current strains (Cheese, trainwreck, Church) have mucho potential to cause even more confusion in the cannabis scense, medical and recreational or otherwise.. And there's a good chance that their 'Old Skool Skunk' is just going to be another one of those..


Also, I thought Shanti already announced he was working on releasing an 'Old Skool Skunk', having derrived it directly from the old skunky lines prior to Sam 'sweetifying' it..

Is this just GHS trying to steal the wind outa MNS's sails? I dunno, but it's sure strange to see the exact same name (Old Skool Skunk) from one of Shanti's most bitter rivals about 3-4 months later..


Like I said, if they do it, my hats off to em.. But until I see at least 2-3 grow reports from established members who actualy know what 'old skunk' is I will definately not risk any $ on those seeds.. but maybe it's just me..
