It is easy to blame the breeder for bad seeds. Mature cannabis seeds have high germination rates. So what happened? Many times it is the grower's fault. got high forgot to water, got high watered twice because the plants told you to. To hot, to cold, mold, fungus. All these are the growers responsibility. Ok, I got that squared away. Seeds still didnt sprout. I am going to with the mail system. Seeds could sit in a broke down truck cookin for 16 hours in the sun and then gets delivered in the morning and cooks all day in the mailbox till you get home at 6. Shit happens.
and just like your room and mine, shit happens too, adversely affecting seed production if thats whats going on. symptoms may not even show in the seeds till they sprout. not all growers test their germ rates, or sex rates. I've got a pack of 9 males before, this isnt coincidence, its breeder room fuck up. I've had packs that didnt germ at all, or the few that did were whacked from the get go, some predicative by the seed appearance alone=again breeder fault.

I trust my seed breeders to keep their rooms tip top, no excuses. When they dont I stop patronizing them, others catch on and they lose market share. Its cool that their success in 100% in their own hands when you buy direct.

Sure I take a hit here and there, but trends are easy to spot. When I pay blindly for seeds that may or may not even be viable I will except no excuses when they are not.

now...I sure would like to know specifics on room failures as they relate to whacked seed production. Like oops dehuey was down all weekend, rh through the roof, many male seeds, etc...

If you're responding to my post I didn't blame anybody. Shipping could definitely have an effect. It could be something on my part, but I'm not a noobie either. I grow year round in Hawaii.

This was my first round in this greenhouse about a month away from harvest. It's only about 2/3rds of the greenhouse. Just crappy old pineapple soil that I amended to my own balancing ratios according to soil test results. No peat moss. No extra aeration besides what is in the dirt naturally. I finished harvesting this about a month ago. Not everything is trimmed up yet, but it should be around 25lbs out of here on the first run. The CEC of the soil was 4.5 when I first amended it before I started building the greenhouse. I amended again when I got the greenhouse built and one more time when I flipped to flowering. The last soil test I sent in came back with a CEC of 16.1. So I was able to turn this soil from a little better than sand to a very respectable soil in regards to cation holding capacity in about 9 months.

Here's my other greenhouse as of this morning 5 weeks into flower in plain old dirt too. The plants are doing really well even considering I got an outbreak of southern blight in here. I lost two plants to it and it's definitely going to affect the yield on a few plants, but it should still be a good overall harvest and this soil is pretty dialed in to my ratios so quality will be top-notch. Most of the plants in here are over 7' tall except for the exceptionally bushy ones, just FYI.

So yeah, it could be my fault on seed germination, but I don't forget to water, or water too much or have crazy temps. In other words, not a rookie. It is a good thing to put the info out there though in case it's a common problem. If everybody's gettting bad germ rates on a certain strain (I'm not saying that I've seen that) then it's good for everybody to know.

Anyway, this is going to be the home of any females I get. If they can get big (considering the amount of time for veg) then they should have their opportunity to do it in here.

I believe I may have 1 female Dynamite Diesel and one Black Gold. Not sure yet. Copper Chem at my house germed 4/4 and about to be up potted.

Night Rider has made quick friends with anyone who meets her. Drops virtually no trichs while grinding. Great for daytime. When I say daytime I do not mean weak but stimulating and not douse inducing. The shit is strong!

I've had seeds sit in the mailbox for 3 days in the summer before pulling them out. Yeah, that can't be good for germination

Rikdabrick... You got your work cut out for yah! That's a lot of trimming!
Proper looking greenhouses, nice job.

Chemphlegm.... would you say this short copper with the extra wide leaves leans towards chem d? Or whats the smoke like on that one?
Looking for the smoke that hits me inbetween the eyes and sends pulses to the top of my skull.

I'ma stickin with the ChemD expressions and effects, which are off the hook in this one, pulls the eyes closer together with each hit.
in fairness though the lanky larf copper chems were great stoners too, not good bag appeal though, perfect oil.

IMG_3700.JPG IMG_3678.JPG IMG_3679.JPG Bruce Banner #3 X Monster Cookies. Day 57 of flower. Nice and tight with some late flowering nute lockout. I have yet to grow a Stardawg X with this issue.
I hope to chop at day 63, will have to wait and see how they develop.

They smell like sticky Og trim fingers while eating Strawberry Starburst.
I can't wait to test them.

Finally, Copper Chem @ day 50.
They're lanky and Sativa dominant IMHO, but they're getting larger by the day and the smell is like a dank spruce tree with a bears cache of rotting meat buried nearby. The kind of smell that makes me look around and get real nervous, lol.IMG_3710.JPG IMG_3694.JPG IMG_3695.JPG

Here's my happy Greenpoint Seeds garden group shot.
