YOUR WORST/DISAPOINTED/OVERATED STRAIN(S)

J

I'll put another vote in for Ingemar's chrystal tsunami.
2/5 lame mutants
3/5 no sprout

Nirvana yellow pack Early Girl from the cheapo listing here at SB 2/20 germ
really would have liked to seen more of these.

Anybody know a good pure early girl or pearl line available in seed?

Some more that sucked.

Nirvana PPP this was new black pack. got 1 out of ten it went outside and promptly got eaten by deer.

Magus Genetics biddy sister from the EOL listing here got 2/10
but the two I got were nice stinky indica leaning plants. cross was earlyskunk x sensistar. I guess this was not that disappointing

Nirvana Swiss cheese. Got these to run outside. Germ was good. I grew these outdoors guerrilla style with no tending except to cull males. 2 females finished the season about oct 10. Avg amounts of avg potency bud. These weren't disappointing just run of the mill. Much better options available.

MNS has two lines you might be interested in: Early Skunk (Early Pearl x Skunk) and Early Queen (Early Pearl x Early Girl x Super Skunk). ES is available at seedboutique.

My most disappointing strain was NC-17. It was a cross of hammerhead and love child. This plant looked amazing all around, huge producer, sturdy branches, and the smell omg the smell. It was like skittles and gummy bears made a lime candy for stoners. Unfortunately it tasted like hay and terribleness so she was culled. That plant taught me not to get my hopes up till its in my pipe and I'm smoking it.

environment.. like leak.. some sort of stress.. probably the cousin.. but then again. depends on the genetics.. lol ive had KC Brains a bunch of strains go around the same time.

Sometimes it matters where in the growspace they were placed. For example some side maybe completely dark while there might be a light leak on the other side.

hahaha, i gotta laugh at all the posts in here complaining about seeds not germinating because that's at the grower's risk when you buy seeds!
 
Mr. Nice Black widow..... popped 3 seeds... 1 whimpy columnar hybrid that yielded squat! 1 male, and 1 sativa leaning feno that was a mass producer of poor quality med.... not what you would expect from an 80 EUR pack of seeds.... still got some seeds, and hope to find something good... or , I will be forced to believe that shanti is a fraud.... becauze the WW I smoked from GHS was BOMB.... same thing with the WW from Dutch passion, DANK! ...and mine, wich were supposed to be the real deal, were way below avrage!

3 seeds >>>>>>>>>>> if your growing 3 seeds at a time you might be better of with 3 fems !!

you need to grow out a few with regs , they should be a good one in the 15 seeds in pack i should think

people can only complain wen they sprout and turns out garbage.. seeds not popping can be from xrays or sterilaztion techniques from the mail companys. or such.. but iunno i think people need to only look at the ones that sprout for info.. the ones that didnt sprout dont mean shit.. seeds are seeds.. and some wont sprout big deal. but some need help sprouting so .. i say if it dont sprout ... crack it for itself.. and see what happen.s
 
Threads like this are very useful despite it being old. Seeds not germing for multiple people is usually not the grower's fault, the seedmaker's rather. Unhealthy plants, crappy genetics to start, outsourcing growers, or just old stock seem to contribute to shitty germ/plants..

If only Vag had started his THseeds thread earlier I wouldn't be sitting on garbage OD heavy duty fruity, keep the reports coming!

In a trade with a friend I ended up with a seed from a non icmag company called blueberry gum (g13 Labs was breeder). All time worst I've seen. Stretched two inches during flowering, colas looked like what small popcorn bud should look like at the bottom of the plant, vegged it to a size I expected 1 to 4 ounces and got 13 grams, tasted like nothing, barely stoned. What a waste.

tbh i dont part with my money unless ive put the research in, checked out a few grows etc.

it can be avoided alot of this stuff now. only problem is a few guinea pigs have to find out the bad news first...

my advice... DONT BUY UNTESTED GENETICS... unless you really dont mind the chance of something going wrong.

I been a grower for a lot of years now and years back all my seeds from dealers germinated. Today the same way I am lucky to get 2 out of 5 seeds to germinate. How do we even know what we are buying. Old seeds? released too early? not stored properly? There is a difference from some breeders from years ago and I think it's all about greed. Prices have gone up crazy high. Look at the cannabis cup. Seems like it's down to 2 breeders that win every time now GHS and Barney Farms. I grew out SLH from GHS and it was a great strain but winning with the same strain twice!. Grew Barney Farms Tangerine Dreams once and had my whole crop never even budded after 11- 12 weeks, had to throw the crap away. There was many other growers that had that happen to them also.

I agree it's a good idea to have this thread. You can read for yourself, and judge for yourself whether it's the genetics or user error. Seven years though, wow.

hope I don't get hated on but for me ak47, and don't get me wrong it was good, just not as good as I had heard. loved the taste and smell. high was just a bit stoney for me.
