Kgp hit the nail on the head. Had forgot about about them being worked. I wish more of the top breeders would do this but I think lots of breeders don't work the lines as people are into pheno hunting and finding gems themselves instead of having one pheno chosen for them and worked
Some people like the pheno hunt, but wouldn't it be great to have beans that are relatively similar, having locked down traits, slight variations, and predictability within a pack?

The above is why I have been popping IBLs recently. Granted I've missed vigour for the most part. Still awaiting harvest, but it should be interesting.

Is that why? Or don't they have a choice?

Tell me it wouldn't be the chit to see rare darkness offer,lee Roy, rugburn, 501 in a f3 line that each one would give you a great representation of the plant the breeder has been working on, the representation they find above average and you can get it consistently?

What about grape stomper f4? Grape phenols 8/10 females? Almost every plant would look like genuity grew it for you. You guys would go ape shit.

Oh kgp I'm with you all the way. That's why I said I wish the top breeders did this. I for one would prefer ibl over f1 anyday. That would be sweet tho to get most of your females to come out like the pheno we want.

Would be tight to see RD work some of their lines further. Mrs. RD teased with a F4 of the Somali taxi ride which I would have totally bought, but have yet to see anything except empty promises lol. Doesnt help they have not been on here in months....

That's what's stopping me from ordering from them.

I got some LeeRoy freebies and I plan on judging their entire company on those two seeds. Their prices are too high IMO and if they aren't even working with the same genetics as in Colorado where they cut their teeth why would I order?

If the LeeRoys good I'll order some Scotts OG

I've been contemplating buying some more beans for the special but decided I have enough to run.

If they truly don't have the cuts, than the seed bank is selling bunk, or at least not what they state are the genetics.

Gotta problem with that, I'll tell you what.

Part of me really hopes that they just say that for legal purposes. Not 100% on that just hoping... I just dont understand how you can say it is X strain with X parents and be specific like ghost og and what not and not have that cut at both breeding facilities.... absolutely no sense.
Even still though some of the grows of seeds I have seen on this site and IC, like 90% of them were bought online not in CO and they still looked dank as hell. But them saying they are against fems and releasing a GTH #1 fem version is definitely disheartening.
Why not go the whole nine yards and just make all your crosses as Autos :rolleyes:.

Slightily related to this thread, I am now considering grabbing some loompa since I have found a reliable source for some of his beans. But alas I have more beans than sense or money at this point lol, at some point you gotta say enough, for now... Might just go with cabin fever since they have some yeti in their crosses and they are cheaper

Loompa's beans are at two or three rather trustworthy sources these days, so at least he branched out from the farm.

Don't know why we're talking rare dankness in a loompa thread, but if we're going to talk Rare Dankness, then...
RD is kind of between a rock and a hard place in some respects, CO's laws regarding seeds and plants are largely stupid. Did you know that every single plant grown in the state is supposed to be tracked and logged in a ridiculous system called MITS using RFID tags? Stupid is actually a drastic understatement. Nonetheless, it would be entirely illegal and unwise for them to either send their mother cuts overseas or to admit to sending their mother cuts overseass; so obviously they would not want to admit to doing so. It would also be highly illegal for them to send their own CO produced seeds overseas for distribution. RD has a history since their creation of very sanctimonious behavior regarding CO's cannabis laws, frequently trying to shit on and discredit other CO seed companies, if they could do so. Now have to appear to follow all the local laws (laws that the owners of their original home dispensary, rIverrock, had a very heavy hand in creating) at all times, as I would imagine plenty of people would not mind dropping a dime on them. This is why it is hard to get a straight answer from them about anything, and why their website says that they will not address queries about germination or other seed problems in any form at all (which does not exactly inspire confidence.) RD has also stopped visiting forums in the altogether, and now sticks entirely to the twitter and instagram. Much easier to avoid conversation/criticism that way. Who knows, maybe they are just busy shitting their pants over the fact that their in state competition has blown the fuck up in the past year, and they thought they had our entire state in some kind of seed lockdown monopoly. Whatevs, they lied to me about their genetics, so fuck 'em.

Not just me.
They used to have a strain called the Fort Collins Trainwreck, right? Fort Collins Cough x Neville's Wreck. Totally plausible that they would have obtained a cut of the Cough, its been around but it is fairly tightly held. Professor P with Dynasty seeds has the real Cough clone, and has a strain with it that puts out very nice Cough dominant phenotypes. However, the Cough is also a 12 week hydro finishing strain, I have heard that it easily runs into the 13-14 week range for people growing organically. It stretches like a motherfucker too, it is a very jungle-y plant, I grew it for several years while I lived in the Fort. So, pairing it with a haze/trainwreck cross seemed, well, unwise, uncommercial, and not at all good for indoor growing. Their description of it online at the time also listed it as a 9 week sativa/indica hybrid with a medium amount of stretch, which seemed straight up impossible with those genetics. I attempted to talk to them about this cross online and was blown off on multiple different forums by all three of the then active rare dankness peeps. When I tried to talk to them at their booth at the Cannabis Cup in 2013, I was told that they used the "other Fort Collins Cough", the shorter flowering, faster one. The best part of all of this is around 2-3 months after I confronted them about it, they changed the description so that it reads like they are using the actual Cough, and maybe they did get around to getting the real clone and redoing that line. Or, maybe they just had a totally bullshit original description and fed me a line at the cup to make it seem more plausible. Either way, there was definitely some bullshit there.

I dont know if things have changed since then,but it was talked about on page 1 of the RD thread.

But one thing I need to explain real fast.. Got a email about the Colorado strains versers CALi.
OK .. if you have 2 parents a mom and dad and they have sex in Colorado, Spain, Cali, Bumfuck egypt, there kids are the same genetic make-up... THe exact strains are in the locations.. it's called cloning people.
sorry but i have grown tired of people asking for "real"seeds.

I read through most of this thread, I was interested in looking into Loompas gear but after coming across this thread, I've lost all interest.

This started out with a "fake" Loompa, real Loompa comes in and takes the same stance as the guy he claims wasn't him.

Then he posts half truths about Attitude not stocking his gear and doesn't have anything to say about getting his gear stocked at Herbies.

After all this I assume the only place to buy his gear is still THC Farmer? Despite all the customers that said they'd buy his gear if it was offered from someone else?

If having to answer questions about the integrity of who he does business with is enough to scare him off, then maybe he is a breeder that deserves to be run out of here.

First i understand where your coming from, as far as them saying they have one cut, but have another.....not cool!!
Now as far as having strains that are longer flowering sativas, that are crossed, the more common sense is that the offspring will be long flowering. But since we don't exactly know what's IN the genetics, shorter ones can come out! Also, i crossed a very haze Jack Herer to a Sour Diesel clone and the offspring were done in 7 weeks!! So many variables in genetic recombining.
I also had a Golden Tiger that was a dwarf and grew like a bonsai!
Tonight You has a Bangi Haze that looks indica!!!
So hard to know what is gonna express itself, that's where a true breeder earns their merit! I heard Scott from Rare Dankness talk shop on a video, i was not impressed with his knowledge at all, kinda sounded like a tool. Also watched this high times video called How to Grow Like a Pro with Nico Escondito....What the fuck is this moron doing in a video, and Marisol in Colorado, your plants looked like SHIT!!!! Then the worst of all is the interview with Chemdog! I hope this isn't the real Chemdog, cause this guy doesn't know anything, just a flabby nerd that got super lucky!!! No actual skills, what a disapointment!
