Biohazard when did you get the Deadhead pack and where. If it was before March you're screwed if not, you're good to go. SAS sent an email clarifying
jesushadafender,
I'm pretty sure it was the batch before march. I've already noticed a number of Auto Flowers. I got mine from PP, and ripz is actually being a stand up guy, and going out of his own pocket to replace all the Cali Connection packs he sold, that had the auto flower.
Seriously, he is doing what Swerve should have been doing to make things right. I dunno if it's 100% true, but the word is that Logic from the Farm is the one who was doing the breeding when all the autoflower drama happened. The problem was the male wasn't grown past 3 weeks in veg or stress tested, by who ever did it (logic?), and as a result this male that is well known to dominantly pass on the auto flower trait got into all the dank new crosses.
For growers who just want to smoke the bud, the new Cali Connect gear after March will be fine, with a lot less auto flowers. However, the fact that the male from his genetic background showed the autoflower traits, shows that the genetics themselves as not as stable as they thought. This is an ok temp fix, but if they want to make seeds that breeders can use and stand by, they need to go back in their breeding process and eliminate the Afghani or what ever they added that brought this Autoflower male trait into the mix. Otherwise it will still be floating around as a hidden or recessive gene in all their seeds.
I was really looking forward to their whole collection. Now I'm getting the classics of Elite Genetics F2's as a replacement. Which is fine by me =]
