all seeds planted have popped......... this year i have done something different and ordered from 4 different banks looking for a new supplier these were the first ordered and the first that arrived. i also have seeds coming from seedsman, herbies and quebec cannabis seeds. where i used to get them is not an option any more......so i will see who i like of these, all things considered, plant quality foremost.
Good! As to "grading" seed suppliers I have difficulties. The very first time I ordered, it was some deal where I paid for 10, got 5 free of OG Kush.
When grown, there appeared to be 2 distinct phenotypes, plus a 3rd I think might have been a mistake..
Indica for sure, but pistols and overall plant size very different, and most of all, different aroma.
The other 2 had that indica/kush aroma, but this one smelled like someone twisted an orange in two.
Cured, it smelled of orange pop, nice Well, I didn't think to much of those genetics and went elsewhere to buy, stashing away the last 3.
Eventually I had occasion to use those last three. They all popped beautifully, were all identical and very robust....maybe this supplier wasn't so bad is my point.
Russian seed roulette anyone? Oh well, I just score some and then and hope for the best. If a real crowd pleaser comes, I can buy more or set up a clone /mother tent. That hasn't become a necessity yet, we'll
see.
