Hippy, I think you are seeing a little too much into this my friend. There are alot of forums with breeder specific forums for the different breeders. It is about time a breeder came here and gave a little insight. Believe me man, if Sub wanted to push his beans, this would NOT be the site to do it, as there are bigger sites then this (no disrespect to MP'ers or the Mods).
IOt is my feeling that Sub is looking for insight from "regular joes" andthat makes sense to me.
Personally, I do not roll with beans either. I have ran Querkle before and it was great herb, but not what I personally was looking for. Mind you, it was from cuts from someone else, so I depended on that persons pick on the pheno.
I can say with confidence, that Querkle is the closest representation of Cali Erkle then anyother strain I have seen.
When I first came to MP, it took me a bit to realize how SPOILED folks are in Cali, Bay Area specically. If you know the right folks, you can get some great "clone-only" strains. That made me think of all the other folks on the boards that live in other states and countries. What are they to do?
It took breeders making hybids from these strains to bring the great herb that has been developed in Cali to the rest of the world.
I do agree that some breeders are str8 for profit and are tryin' to make a buck from strains made popular on Forums, such as the "Chem/Kush lines. Look at Greenhouse. They hooked up with Apothecary and are now releseing all kinds of Chem/Kush beans. Greenhouse is out for themselves, imo and are usuing the current popularity of the Kush/Chem to make loot.
I do not see that coming from Sub. I think he knows if he wanted to jump on the $$ train, it would be thru Chem/Kush, as that is what is currently "the one" to many folks.
Shoot man, if he wanted to really make loot, he could use his growing skills and just produce finshed Herb, and not beans, as it takes alot of space to make beans. Space that could be used to flower.
One word Sub.....Mango. Get that cut and check it out man. Talk to the folks at SR71, the real folks taking cuts next door....not Richard.
So, lets give him a break and take advantage of his knowledge, especially if you are growing his strains!
Much repect Hippy, you know I love ya!
