I just wanna see some Talisman. Saw it mentioned a few times in this thread but i swear it's like like looking for a vampire in the the brightest of the day. Idk why but the description of it intrigues me. Not to mention on GGG instagram he said it'll take you to another dimension. Sounds like my cup of tea.
mine are still lil veg plants,,but ill find a pic of some for you.

I prefer to know what that dimension is before buying a ticket.

Here's GGG's description of Grape Puff:

"Discover a world of diamonds with the Grape Puff, another glistening reinvention of the Grape Stomper genetics that will surely impress and effectively medicate. We selected the Grape Stomper 3A, a phenotype of the Bright Moments , for its early flower and its abundance of never-ending resin. The Grape Stomper 3A will develop colas of frost and finishes flower early.

Expect to find many resinous phenotypes that feature lanky golden trichomes that ooze syrupy grape aromas all day. Our testers all set on frost very early on and finished flower very quickly. Smells of orange blossom as well as melon, pineapple, peach, apricot, and vanilla, can all be experienced in some of these phenotypes.

The resin is quickly approaching, be prepared."


Here's my description after growing it:

Average weed. Both females were identical in smell, taste, structure, and smoke. No grape, orange, melon, etc aroma or taste detected (even after a long cure). A slight diesel smell would be the best way to describe it. Middle of the road as far as frost and effect/high go as well. It took 9 weeks to finish, not 7 or 8 as claimed by the breeder.

My point is, don't put much stock in what the breeder has to say about his own work. Ever see a breeder describe one of his strains as average? Don't fall for the hype (from any breeder) and be waiting in line for the first drop of anything. If the genetics are great, they will make more seeds. Look for objective reports from growers who are not affiliated with that breeder and base your decision on the feedback you see from them.

Wise words.

Why wasn't it named melon, pineapple,peach, apricot, and vanilla puff? Could it be because 'grape' is the hot flavor?

Two females?? What kind of serious grower judges a strain based on two females? Besides me.......but I'm not all that serious. But seriously......lol....two females :bigjoint:

2 females and the rest were males from the pack..... and 1 of the females was a hermie that seeded a bunch of other gals. That's all I had to work with. I wasn't about to run out and buy another pack to do some pheno hunting after the first less-than-stellar pack.

I'm fairly confident in being able to toss a soft elbow your way knowing you'll receive it as intended. I'm sure you know that's my MO as well.

I know Amos is a big fan of accurate descriptions. But I gotta say that I've yet to encounter any breeder who can accurately describe most aspects of a strain. Can get some close ones, but flowering times I take as a grain of salt. Doesn't bug me too much, I usually look at the lineage to get an idea of what to expect with regards to flowering times in particular. Plus I'd be pretty pissed if of the two females, one went all lady boy on me.

I know Amos is a big fan of accurate descriptions..
That stems back to some years ago; allowing myself to accept a 'do you pal a favor' blind date. Accurate descriptions to me = reliable.

Buying into 'reputable' seed sellers hype, like "Top strain for medical users and blowers that are looking for that extra punch which they havent find in the past years. This smoke can be to strong for some blowers !" Yet when those beans turn out nothing like that description, the breeder's fans shrug it off, like, 'so what'?. The 'so what', is that it was the description that prompted the purchase. "He's a good cat...honorable dude", yet that honorable cat still sells those B- beans with the same description.

The argument never changes - 'it's in there if you just run enough packs', or 'I don't care what's in there, I just know whatever comes out will be great'.

I can't fathom how people rationalize that names and descriptions shouldn't be relied on at all. And TY - you peruse the bean shops and their descriptions before selecting your next purchase. If you're not basing your choice on the descriptions, then why not mail the seed co some cash and say 'send whatever you got - we both know no one knows what'll actually come out'?
