Just another poor Cali connection review :(

So you ran a total of 2 CC stains? I ran 12 different CC strains. So I think I have a better idea of how the marjory of their strains perform. I saw their "Original Sour D" herm as soon as it went into flower and had to cut it down. The CC beans I had were a combination of problems. Some were hermies right off the bat and other appeared to be simply carrying male traits. Regardless, i didn't have any problems with feminized seeds on the TH seeds lineup, and my TH seeds were planted in the same climate with basically IDENTICAL CONDITIONS. I'm one of many describing this issue with Cali Connection, i've never had so many problems with any other seed bank.
No you don't have a better idea. You just know that the majority of a grow herned out and refuse to show pics or even consider the possibility you screwed up. Hell may not even been you. Bad timers will herm plants.

The fact you made it to the end and a bunch of seeds surprised you is enough to know you didn't pay attention.

Go ahead though, keep your head in the sand. Maybe instead if blaming breeders and fem seeds for being herm prone maybe quit listening to the people that you see growing so many herms and dial your grow in.

Never could be your fault. Never. Its not like your human and could make a mistake.

Ever think that maybe someone had a lot of patients and needed a lot of plants, making it impossible to baby sit all of them all time? That's quite a blanket statement. Not everyone here has a handful of plants that get attention 24/7

What makes you so sure about feminized seeds can never be hermaphrodites? Care to elaborate on this?



Thanks for the input. Much appreciated
Never said that fem plants are never herms.

XX and XX equals a XX plant. That means all female. That also means that any herms are likely due to stress.

Post a pic of your grow. Post a pic of the herm plants. I bet you won't. Lol. I don't give a damn how many I grow I wouldn't be surprised by seeds.

You making the statement that you are growing so many that you can't watch them says enough. Its not that hard to take a few minutes and look over plants.

I would appreciate it if you would read through this entire thread before assuming this was an indoor grow. Timers? This was all done in the outdoors as i mentioned earlier. And while I'm 100% legal I refuse to post pics of my garden that can possibly be geotagged. It's for the safety of my gardens location.

My brain works properly I read the bad reviews AFTER I got the seeds and had bad results. I understand there are huge stoners here though so no worries lol They had many strains I was after, unfortunately i didn't look into their recent reviews enough to realize what I had gotten myself into.
Lol your brain works properly. Hence you researching something after spending hard earned money. Lol.

Nothing personal. We all make mistakes and that many herms suggest human error. You admitting not being able to keep a proper eye in the plants also suggest human error.

There you go again. I didn't say you used a timer. I said timers can be the culprit.

Hell with an outdoor grow you have no idea if a jackass a mile away didn't cut their males.

I'm done though. You admit you couldn't keep an eye on them. Most hermed. You were surprised by seeds. You refuse to consider human error. Enough said. No point in going on about it.

Still no pics though. Got a pic of any healthy plants you've grown?

So please explain why you think Cali Connection is solid. Have you recently ordered any of their beans? If so which ones????? I want specifics please

I wonder way folks create a hostile environment here at RIU.. over someone else grow☘☘.. it's just plants.
Yeah I don't quite understand it. People are acting as if they've been to my garden & were able to diagnose the problem then get angry with me for not agreeing. It's a little whacky. I just wanted to bring something to consumers attention so they don't make the same mistake as me. I'm just trying to help.

What difference does it make. I can say what ever. So can you. You haven't showed one single hermie. Not one.
You didn't answer my question, it appears you dodged it. I'll ask again. Mr whitebb2727 have you ever germinated a seed from Cali Connection?

I updated my post might wanna read it over again. Also the last thing i'll add is that I have successful experience. It's not bad experience.
Not to bash or nothing but if you were growing
Lol perhaps he did set up a catapult or some type of circus themed pollen cannon that I'm unaware of. I'll have to give him a call
You don't know how pollen works do you? Lol. Plants don't need no stinking canons.

You've been growing what size plants outdoors, lol. Because a 6 foot male plant will put off enough pollen to seed plants several miles away with the right wind conditions. Poof, your neighbors got seeds.

But if that happened to you I would assume your whole crop would be seeded.

Given you grew outdoors I would reckon the seeds were prone to herm but that's why you never put untested seeds in environments were it could cause problems, i.e. your main grow.

Well my TH seeds did just fine in the same environment. And obviously I was joking about the pollen cannon. Neither of next door neighbors even grow. I've been to their houses, one guy is usually out of town and the other guy & his wife are retired. If you must know.

Yes.

Now. Show a pic. How do you know they were herm? Balls? Nanners? Or just seeds?
What strains? I'm not posting a pic, i have no reason to make any of this up. If you want pics check out the CC's own website you'll see giant pollen sacks IN THE PICTURES i'd be happy to show you a pic of that. UPDATE here's a pic showing how pollen is included.

I don't recall. One was an og. They were given to me. Didn't care much for them and I wouldn't order from them. I research stuff before I buy.

I'm not defending cc. I just think its laughable to refuse to consider that you made a mistake. I think you really don't know what happened. I think you didn't take care of or watch over the plants and found seeds and want to blame the breeder. Who is partly at fault. They are known for herms. You found that out after ordering and planting and still didn't take the time to watch for herms and cull them. That's on you.

So can you see the picture i posted from CC's own website? Are you seriously implying that the plant in that picture isn't producing pollen?

No. Dude nevermind. You are not the brightest bulb in the bunch.

I'm saying you bought seeds without researching them. Then when you found out they were known for herms you still didn't watch for herms and was surprised to find seeds.

That's your own fault.
