I had no problem with mine. It was one of the 5 strains I got in my first order. I was happy but at that time I was in a hurry to try them all and inexperienced. But it was good. I've picked up a winter cleaning of it. To make sure I had some on hand. Since I know one day I'm going to want to run it again. Lord knows I've got enough beans of it.Dam that sucks I really wanted to try some shark shock but a couple people on this thread say it sucks. I thought GWS was some fire?
Yeah maybe I should try it for myself thanks broI had no problem with mine. It was one of the 5 strains I got in my first order.

Man I want the same beans working on getting my funds up tho just got the old school skunk 80s trying to get a few good ibls and hybrids so I won't have to order ever again the Mr.nice seeds are very good genetics from all overI should be getting some goodies from MNS in the next couple of weeks. Picked up Ortega, Devil, Nordle, NL5xAfghan on the auction. I won't be running all of them, as I'm doing an outdoor grow and space is limited.
I grew out some G13Skunk a few years ago. Never did try it though, it all went to my mom for her chronic pain.
Cool to see a Mr. Nice thread.
I've got most of these running now. I've done devil. And what they say rang true for me. It didn't do well inside. It's still curing but yield was low! And dropped all the cuts. I think I got 4 of 6 females. But none of them produced enough inside for me to consider running them again. I did give cuts of each to a buddy to grow outside and I know he was happy. But I never inquired about the yield. But it had to be better.I should be getting some goodies from MNS in the next couple of weeks. Picked up Ortega, Devil, Nordle, NL5xAfghan on the auction.

I've seen a few reports of underwhelming performance from Devil grown indoors, and solid performance outdoor. Can't wait to try it out myself.I've got most of these running now. I've done devil.

Yeah, I read that a million times. But I bought it for my friend for outdoors. But after getting them to the point of sexing I wasn't going to get that far and not see it through. I was hoping for something special in the color department I could toss some pollen on the try to bulk it up a bit in a cross. But with the limited space it was an easy choice to drop them from indoors. And I wasn't holding 4+ cuttings for another run this year. If they want to run them again I just hand them the other 2/3 of the straw and say have at.I've seen a few reports of underwhelming performance from Devil grown indoors, and solid performance outdoor.

I've done a test run. Of the 4-6 females I ran they all smelled nice but one had my attention early on it was clearly the winner of the bunch. I also saved the runner up. It was a beautiful specimen just a bit less powerful. But I wanted to force it to make pollen. So I can pollenate the winner with it. Just something to store away as fems. I'm going to run the rest of these at some point. It gets a star next to its name.Try their nl#5 x afghan , nice yields and great smoke , in a 9 week plant.
Of the females I had to choose from in my test run I didn't get anything to write home about. They all had good size and a nice smell but with everything I have none were worth keeping. This one didn't get a star next to its name from me. I've read about the phenos I just wasn't lucky enough to get one. Eventually I'll run the rest of them but not before I go through the strains with stars first.Critical Mass still my all time favourite to grow indoors... A few diff phenos though.
Well everyone's entitled to their own opinion. But what I'd say shanti and co have been very forthright on which parents were lost. G13 comes to mind and a few are ILB. This is what the guy does. If a had space I could have kept each plant alive for ever and so could anyone else. I'd also bet my life he doesn't keep just one cut in one place for safety reasons. I believe I've read a post of his that not only multiple cuts but in multiple nations just for the reasons you're mentioning. But I do think to many people expect every seed to be identical. There are no pure lines available but are a few inline breed. Everything is hybrid or poly hybrid and you're going to get variations. Sometimes less and sometimes more. Just like sexing sometimes I get 6 females out of 6 seeds. Other times they're all male. Hell most of the strains also cross sativa by indica. Sure fire variation and selection is key.I'm absolutely certain that no company has the original Genetics to create the original great white shark,shark shock any more......Here's my story and why I believe this to be truth......GWS was my favorite strain back when it came out in the late 90's and I purchased seeds from a legit source in 98 and grew them out and what came of those seeds was absolutely amazing,super vigorous plants with very dark green velvety leaves and a unmistakable terp profile of rotten fruit with a heavy skunk,smelled just like a skunk sprayed a barrel of rotten fruit.It's one of those smells that you can't forget.The plants also looked exactly like the pictures advertised for the GWS........Every single one of my females were almost like clones and they all had the same terp profile and growth patterns.....fast forward 20 years and I wanted to get the shark again,so who do I go to?Greenhouse seeds and I get the beans,and every single one of the "females" has a male flower coming out of a calyx!....I was so pissed!....Then I do some research and find out about Shantibaba, the split and how he has the real deal everything and of course I get the beans and give it a go......These were super vigorous plants that ended up yielding 3-6 zips each,indoor and I was very happy with the results,there was no question who had the superior Genetics,Mr.Nice.Having said all that I was very disappointed that these plants did not in any way represent the GWS that some of us got to know.These plants were heavily skunk influenced,now I know GWS/SS has skunk in it but these were like 80% skunk in structure...........My overall opinion of Mr.Nice is pretty high because I've had such great luck with SS and Shit but it's unrealistic that he still has everything needed to recreate old strains considering all the bust and even the sheer time these lines would have had to be maintained to have a accurate current version.......I believe this to be the truth based on real experience.I know it sucks to hear but my obligation is to my fellow man and not a company.....What is available now is just something to sale under a famous name and nothing more......I'm still on the Mr.nice train though because I have got to try some mango haze. I hear it takes some looking but I hear there is magic in those beans.
I haven't seen the new packs. Since buying directly they come in straws. You might want to check out the auctions. The prices are better. Communication can be slower so plan a cycle ahead and they'll take care of you!
