I wonder why? Glad I still have my ace mom, smells like lemon sweet tarts. Mmmm
I heard sub lost his trusty f1 space queen male. Pretty sure that's why he's going with all these new kush/jtr crosses and such. I have nothing against kush strains but I did like the fact that sub was running lines to create some diversity in the community.
The space queen was truly special IMHO. I had a VERY c99 dominant pheno that yielded well, amazing smells and taste, but overall was some of the most potent smoke I'd ever had. I tried his "space bomb." Kind of a joke compared to the space queen. I had 5 females, all 5 were wayyyyy different from each other. Tiny yields of decent smoke, nothing to brag about. Tossed her immediately.
I guess that's the variation you get when using an f2 male though..

Had the same results w/ space bomb. Was amazed at first at how fast they pushed pistils, and the frost was early and plentiful, but they were like a plant with only bottom buds. The smoke was great, but measuring yield in joints vs zips is frustrating regardless how fast it finishes.

Hmm , I must have gotten a weak set of seeds or something. Don't get me wrong, these were some of the most vigorous plants I'd grown. One of my phenos was so vigorous it was crazy. Fastest genetics ever! Even more so than my ace. I thought I hit the jackpot and found a match to my old space queen mom. It's vigor was ridiculous, it's resin was dripping (most resinous pheno for sure) and it was the biggest yielder. By the time the 6th week rolled around I started checking her for any smell. 0, Amos, fucking nothing, notta. Brushed it off, harvested her, cured her up, still nothing. Smoked her, with no effect. It was the weirdest thing, she didn't make me feel a thing. Since then I don't judge plants base on resin production or vigor. (Even though they're nice to have

I went to TGA website and checked their list of distributors, and found 2 5-packs at a place called GTA. They have most all the older line 5 packs on special discount for buying 3 total. I'm not recommending them as I've never tried them, but am taking the gamble since they're disappearing. Looks like it's time to make babies.

Just had the notion to go snooping around for some old seed stock of space queen (been looking forever) And wouldn't you know it, the only bank I hadn't looked at had them. I snagged the last 8. Can't wait to get these babies. Never thought I'd get the chance to run her again. She's my favorite sativa ever!

Sea of Seeds still has 10 packs of Ace of Spades listed.

I've had my dealings with swamp boys, d n a and Crockett as well as others but never tga.... The cheese quake and agent orange, 9 pound hammer, querkle and strawberry daiquiri and grape lime Ricky caught my eye.... Any help from first hand eyes ? Stick with what I know or worth it? If so which one?

I would like to see if anyone has had success with them lately also? I first tried TGA back in 2012 and it was legit!!! I ordered again in 2014, same strain, and it was pretty bunk? I am not bitching, just want to know if they got their shit together? People still ask me about Vortex, maybe I will have to search for a good clone?

Vortex used to smell like lime/floor cleaner
Then there was the one I was after, the A13 dom. I got 1 in my 2012 pack, real piney and lanky. It made some of the best hash too

Stoned metalhe ad1...so, dude was discussing SubCool...like all of us. You've seem to have had ample experience with the varieties by tga...and even know his "back story" and the 411 on his name.'*?~ and most likely intrigued by the "story of subcool's name origin" ya see...YOU KNOW EVERYTHING about sub, and his "gear" and the lineage of DQ. AND you gotta be what, ? Fact checker? Puh leeez...p.s. On tga.whatever. their official site
..they have Dairy Queen at the top as cheese x cindy99 tested as Dank #1. BAA UT...THEY LIST IT AS CHESSE X ROM X CINDY (spacequeen) down the page a bit..
I really don't know. Maybe the other 4 sites have it wrong as well. Ok
So, have done Go Time? The description sounds perfect for my medical needs but, I would only be getting a five pack and would love to get some input from someone who's actually grown it. If it's half as good as it sounds on several different descriptions I've read I'm definitely going to get it, and I'm very curious about the lineage. I don't think I've ever heard of Norton, or jog Kush, I don't know if that is an abbreviation for Joe's Kush or what. Advice would be greatly appreciated. Incidentally if you had to pick one subcool strain to have on a deserted island what would it be? And why?

Anyone on tga seeds? Which to get? I mentioned which ones caught my eye . Agent orange, querkle , cheesquake, grape lime Ricky and 9 pound hammer... He seems to cross everything with space queen... I haven't had any dealings nor seen his strains in true form in person... There are nurseries that carry them but instead if 6 or 12 they offer only 5 and they seem to be half the price of other breeders... I'm in Southern California ... I'm also looking for a good and reliable nursery ... Can someone with experience maybe elaborate? Is it worth the grow? Donations? Difficulty ?..:: anyone? Also can someone maybe message me if nurseries or co ops who carry legitimate beans in south California? I really need help please....

My preference is JTR crosses, though Agent Orange was rather weak. You can't go wrong starting w/ Chernobyl.
JTR is which strain?... And agent orange, do you mean the plant itself or the finished product? Even when grown and cured without a hitch indoors as perfect as it could get with the strain it still comes out weak?... I've heard a lot of the strains from t g a over the last two weeks are referred to as weak or low yielding... Also did you use soil?
I too would also like to know that as well, the site and pictures and descriptions seem to be what someone looking for quality medicine would be looking for, and t g a even has soil recipes and they even tell you legitimate sources on where to get them which is different from other breeders or over seas... I've had great dealings with all d n a/ d n a reserva privada/ grow your own/ Crockett farms and swamp boys and a few other breeders but t g a and subcool seem to be like right around the corner and have tons of info but objective experience with them is hard to find....
But amos Otis I got a bit off topic with you, what strain is JTR and what medium was the grow? And was it the plant itself or final cured product?... Low yielding? Low potency? Taste?.... I'm just confused a bit and with everything seeming that is a cross of space queen with something and then being open and listing reps and co ops that have them.... Subcool was even kind enough to send me soil recipes when I was a newbie that I've amended a bit but has sort of been my foundation and has been great with other breeders. You seem to have experience. Maybe you can message me? Or post a few details on those strains and just overall grow from medium to final cured medicine if you could? I'm currently looking to fill my limited space with t g as at the moment but hesitant... Any help would really help a few of us out. I joined here to ask about them
