TGA should definitely stabilize their strains. Or maybe just put up a disclaimer saying that you are getting F1 seeds with high variability. I don't understand how you can describe a strain and expect someone to want to purchase it and then you get 6 different pheno's. Why not stabilize some of these strains and call them what they are??????????????????????????? Sure it is dank but some of us don't have the time to go "pheno hunting" every time we buy strain 'a' after reading said description of strain 'a'. I believe the seed co. should be responsible for stabilizing at least some of their strains for the public who know what they want. Peace
Buy fems and shut your mouwff...
When your momma n paw was gifted with your your specialness... You came out lookin' a little like your daddy (the mailman obviously) and a little like your momma no?
Got any siblings? Do you and all of them look identical? Probably not unless your are an identical twin or possibly septuplets, I don't know but you see how each "seed" that fell outta your momma didn't look the same? Same thing with cannabis plants, a mommy and a daddy "mate" selectively or otherwise and produce offspring or what's also known in the "drug world" or here on planet earth as "seeds" so when you buy seeds in a 10 pack let's say... you have pack of 10 siblings that are all combinations of said Mamie and pappy...
Or you can "stabilize" your strains by stressing a female plant in some way or another to point of "self pollinating" and create feminized seeds... But the only problem is they are chicks who wanna grow dicks...
"Pheno hunting" isn't really all that big of a deal for folks that are looking and possibly find that 1 in 10,000 or 100,000 recessive genetic masterpiece....
And for those that don't understand that most times you aren't gonna get the pheno pictured, these are the exceptions out of 100's of possible popped seeds... On the other hand, speaking about the void specifically, I bought a 10 pack 2 years ago and grew 4 when I got it, I got the exact "pictured" pheno.... I also got a querkle dom, and an Apollo Dom... And male... I recently cracked 3 more... I have a perfect mirror image of the a13 mother that smells like grapes that had those red resin rails and is one of the most amazing yielding plants I've ever grown...... Also, a chunky querkle bud pheno that smells like that Apollo funk and turns purple, as well as 1 male... I think the querkle pheno I have is not going to make the final cut but will be grown again 1 or 2 more times to make sure do to like it...
But the big thing a lot of the "haters" or complainers aren't getting is you'll honestly see more similar looking plants when you grow them out towards their full potential.. You can't grow a strain once from seed and use your results as anything but preliminary, it must be grown at least once more (if your a competent enough grower to nail it in 2 tries) because 90% of the time they grow much more "as advertised" when you grow from clone.... I'm starting to believe I should get the seed plant cloned ASAP and toss it not waisting resources on it...
There's always going to be those who like brand a and hate brand b. find what works for you and run with it, whoever bred it...
Stop wasting time criticizing and get back in your garden and make/grow something better, then talk shit... Those who can't do..... talk shit...
