But nothing that's gonna blow peoples minds right
No. But it's worth trying......What are you trying to find, or trying to do, as far as your smoking goal yum?
I'd suggest trying pyramid seeds Tutankhamon and this is why.
Back when I started 5/6 years ago my first order I picked up 3 packs of this. Since I was starting I only popped 6 at a time of anything I popped. I bought 5 strains 4 from mr nice and this one. Since then I've placed more orders than I can remember all from mr nice directly. What I can tell you is that it took me about 3 years to go through those 3 packs. My opinion was it was fairly consistent I'd rate it as good. Now I'm a snob I get pick of the liter. My patients really enjoyed it. However I'll tell you I only smoked it for a change. It has a very nice aroma and good buzz. I've just always had something better on hand.
Although I didn't get my seeds from serious themselves I did get them in the breeders packaging. I think I still have it to be honest with you. I got regular AK47. That means I culled through the males. So I did not get 30 females. It's the ONLY strain that made its own selection and I eventually lost every female due to every cutting flowering while rooting. Those that didn't eventually didn't veg properly very much resembling a plant that is revegging.
When I run a new strain I let them run a bit to the longer side. I do this hoping to get a few S1 seeds that are female. I save these. Ironically it's been a few years since I had AK47. So about 3 months ago I pulled out my AK S1s and decided to pop 12 of them. I had started 3 new strains and since I was going to have to sex them I decided knowing I've got 12 females ready to go was a good idea.
This isn't the first time I've popped this type of S1 seed that has come from my garden. But this is the first time any of them returned me a male. I know it happens and I'm not complaining just passing on info. Of the other 11 true to the strain as I received it 7 of those 11 started flowering while the cuttings where rooting. So I tossed them. The 4 remaining I'm going to cross pollinate just to hold the genetics. My hope is that these 4 don't get lost as I did the rest. All 11 look good and are growing very nice flowers.
But I'll never EVER buy this strain again. I keep my plants in veg on 18/6 lighting. This is the only strain that has done this. Now it may very well be if I ran my lights at 24/0 this wouldn't happen. But that adds up and it isn't worth it to me. It would just make everything else grow faster.
If I'm not happy with how the 4 that haven't expressed auto tendencies turnout I won't bother cross pollenating.
Rumor has it Simon lost the original parents. And what everyone is buying is a reworked version. I think pyramids might be a selection of the original version. But I don't know?!
Some things here bother me.
What seed
dealer did you get these from? From Mr. Nice? He (Baba) only sells their own gear (old and/or lack luster too).
I doubt
VERY greatly you got real thing "Serious seeds AK" This story gets even stranger.
Stress induced selfing is unstable. -
period!
So if you know males happen
and you don't care. Why bring it up?
You talk of a "rumor" from over 10 years ago. And that was brought up by some ass hat talking smack about how it's changed over the years - "to him"....So what, bet he has a tolerance from increased smoking over those 10+ years - smoked new and stronger things...etc, etc. Memories change over time and most remember things to be better in the past...That's science talking, not a stoner.
Sorry you had those problems but, I really don't think you had the real shit......Breeder packs mean nothing....It's where you get them that does.
I strongly suggest you try it from serious (or a confirmed quality bank). Don't let them sit around for several years before you try them...While AK will not make the top of the heap anymore. It's still good smoke. And yeah, there are better things out there.
The perpetual quest for "the next best thing" puzzles me a lot.....Most of those trying. Will never get the "real deal" thing anyway...Look at cookies for example.....now, years later, you can find real deal cookies pheno's but, you still need to know where to look, and it ain't in your "favorite big time" internet seed bank with a shit ton of mediocre breeders to confuse from...
I didn't let them sit I couldn't with these. I kept having to pop them because they kept showing auto tendencies. I'm sorry you find me to be lying. But the packs they came in were untouched. I have never and will never buy seeds that aren't in the breeders pack. You don't need to tell me what mr nice sells and doesn't I know very well. I'm sorry but it sounds like you think I'm spreading lies. That kinds bothers me.
