TH Seeds: DA PURPS.

Great if you wanna grow something that looks like wheat, tastes like wheat...throws off so many nanners that a pack of wild monkeys is bound to show up. Oh and the best thing...in spite of the fact it was designated as a relatively fast flowering variety....it went like 12+ weeks and barely looked done.

Thanks you aholes at TH Seeds! I also bought your crappy MK-Ultra. Didn't run it, and after reading many, many....MANY nasty reviews of their products I'd be hard pressed to give it another shot.

In their DEFENSE: I gave some TH Seeds Chocolate Chunk beans to a friend of mine. He had "O.K." results, but encountered nanners also.

every strain is unique in its own way but one i didnt care for to much was the SOMA DIESEL FEMINIZED paid 250 for 10 beans, only 4 popped, flowering took 16weeks way to long for my taste... on the upside, if u have the time to grow it, and the space you are looking at ALOT of bud, very high yielding strain, def more sativa then indica, i believe soma says its like 60/40 i would say more like 80/20... huge single colas, makes for good outdoor strain... i am going to write to him, c if i can get some good beans out of the deal, or rather some that suit my needs!

Compared to the other strains that I've grown, Hashberry from Mandala Seeds was the least potent of all. More like a daytime smoke for me. This year I'm growing autoflowering strains so Hashberry might end up getting bumped up the totem pole.

I think people who are posting in a strains defense (or multiples) need to get over themselves bigtime ... Tell us your worst ... not why a strain couldn't be someone elses worst ... the HOG and MK Ultra didn't preform well here either ... Very Disappointing ... tell me how mistaken I am ...

Exactly i never understand why someone jumps on a thread just to ARGUE against the purpose of the entire thread, lol...personally some of Mandala's strains are WEAK as hell, i got the safari mix and gave sample of that and some other buds(bagseed, white rhino, and bubblelicious) to some friends and EVERYONE asked why the safari mix was sooooo weak, i never tried all of Mandala's strains so im not knocking stuff like satori or sadhu, but even Hashberry(grew 6 females) really didnt do the trick although the smell is the shit.:moon:

I feel its misguided to believe that most of the available strains are somebody's "creation" or "lifes work". So many are the result of the breeder, famous and imfamous alike, dusting a female with a male and then hope that something good emerges.

A good portion of the seeds offered havent even been grown out by the breeder!!! He doesnt have a friggin clue as to how the plant will perform. Go take a read of Breeder steves Timebomb description. At least the boy has enough nads to tell you the truth about his knowledge of the seeds. Most breeders just stick 75$ price tag on them and offer them up just as if they are his lifes work. I originally ordered up some CH 9 seeds as I liked the finish date but when I asked the breeder a few questions about the plant he couldnt answer a single question. He didn't know what pheno's i would see, what the mould resistance would be like, nothing. The breeder recommended the seeds for outdoor, but the last thing on earth an outdoor grower should do is start the season growing a strain which has no predictability with regaurd to pheno's, yield and potency.

That's not unusual in my mind, even Magus uses the phrase " untested" but are priced as though they are a fine creation.. The "This is a seven year project" usually means the breeder has considered dusting the 2 plants together for 7 years and finally did it. If they turn out to be fairly potent and reliable, the next thing you know, the guy's a world class breeder!!!
I think You can find a bunch of those in the cannibas seed business



The performance of the Deep Chunk I grew outdoors was pathetic.
I was not impressed at all with the breeding of Mandala 1, or Sadhu.

DP Passion #1. Ugliest and unhealthiest plants ever.


I bet you grew it indoors ,yes??

I grew the same passion#1 mother plant both indoors and outdoors,i grew her outdoors first and i got very good results,nice creamy orange flavour and aroma to her masses of trichomes and a real nice high/stone to.
But indoors she's the worst plant i've grown under lights,total bag of shit,no trichome production,no aroma to speak of,tasted like hay and no high to her what so ever.

Always take notice of the breeders description,if its in there outdoor collection then don't go against what the description says and grow it indoors because you'll be very disappointed with the hay flavoured kak.

Subcool's SpaceQueen - Tiny seeds of which only 3 germed. Only one made it big large enuff to sprout a single leaf! Popped a few of the ungerminated shells and they were all dark brown and dead inside! The survivor died shortly after. E-mailed Sub on his site and got no response at all! Nothing! In the same order, all of Outlaws seeds I picked up, popped with no problems at all. Just because it says breeder on the site doesn't make it so in reality in my eyes. It takes more than making seeds. It is about will you as the breeder stand behind your work or make excuses about your work.

Sorry ed wood but that aint good enough really, I can't count that to your worst
strain without a good reason. Thats's kinda the idea here.

What's wrong with sweet purple from Paradise seeds then?

I like the "worst" thread

I like the "worst" thread

my contribution:

worst smoke I've grown, nirvana ICE. and its not that bad either. its just medium/mild for such a sugary sweet girl. more show than go

worst grow, DP oasis herms, they call them fems. welcome seeded plants to your garden. the oasis that did grow was more potent than nirvana ice, but yielded less and wasnt as sexy.

worst value, sensi NL. considered very expensive in the seed world? and the plants were much taller and thinner than the description. not short, thick, and dense at all. suitable for freebies, they did pack some power (more than ICE or oasis) when done, but took waaaay longer than stated. get seedsman NL for a fraction.

this was satisfying to write, and i mean no harm here. there are plenty of "best" and "favorite" threads.
