An update for those inquirying: the raspberry kush yield is pathetic. Don't waste your time if you grow for yield. Honestly it is a great smelling plant, buds are cool looking, but just absolutely a horrible yielder and worse is it is leafy to combine with that poor yield. If the effects werent awesome, I would trash it. I put a review in the GPS thread as well, I am done with Cannaventure. Too much crappy yielding strains and weird ass looking plants. Some fire here and there for sure. But lately just been so poor on average. I was stoked on the raspberry kush, but not really much anymore. The effects are amazing again, but that yield is so piss poor with buds the size of your thumb nail. To put it into perspective, the lowers on my pheno hunters are about 3 times the size of the largest raspberry kush coala. And raspberry getting a legit run this time and in a bigger pot than the other plants.

I hope this plant does well but it has been slow to flower. This is also the PRK.

Ya yours looks leafy like mine. I don't mind leafy plants if they yield fine. But this is just a little sad to see these buds how small they are and how much I am going to have to trim each one.

Yeah Raspberry Kush is known for low yields just like bubba kush ogkb and on an and on. Probably inbreeding. Definitely would never purchase those for yield. I got some to cross to high yielding raspberry smelling dutch genes and an extremely high yielding raspberry honey morrocan strain. Just going to try to catch the terpenes and lose the low vigor and yields.

While I agree 100 percent with what you said and my intentions as well other than to hopefully include the effects too, the CV description for it says it gives you huge yields. So totally agree and I still didn't buy it for yields, but the description couldn't be more wrong. Leading to believe something happened. I tend to think something happened with the breeding rather than a totally incorrect yield description. However that is only based on that the LVTK have turned out sub par for most people as well. That is on average.

CV seems to be hit and miss..................but the miss part is way too high. I normally get 10% runts or bad plants out of a new fem seed grow. Looks like the LVTK is more around 30% bad and maybe more. Some are very tall and lanky with wispy buds that look like old sativas and would take 16 weeks to flower. A few shorter/stouter plants are showing promise.

This seems to be the norm from people that have grown 10+ seeds of the same kind. Going to be another 4 to 5 weeks before I can really say wtf is going on. A good sample should be 1000 seeds or more from the breeder themselves. IMO, this guy chucked fem pollen on his female and said "good to go. Let's sell seeds."

The numbers indicate between 30 to 50% bad/abnormal plants. Not good.

You want some advice from a big time fem user? Get yourself the Glueberry OG from Dutch Passion. ya ya ya I know it's overseas and it's Attitude. But you will thank me for it later.

my first ever grow I grew all fems other than a couple clones. Fruity Chronic Juice was one of them, and i would rather take that all day over LVTK and it looked way better.

edit: I will keep posted every now and then how my skunk#1 does. It was a freebie fem seed and really did well for me. Should be better this run being not a pheno hunt, and also on the hydro nutes/blumats.

Ouch yeah if his description says that it really needs to be changed that is a bit of BS I would not expect from him. I never even read his description I just know from researching the strain on icmag what the deal is with it. TK is by no means a large yielder either. That shit is a sagging grape vine. Amazing quality smoke, but horrible structure and yield. Raspberry Kush is same thing. As a breeder it pays ten fold to be honest in a description of strain than having an unhappy customer after they dedicate at least 4 months to growing something by not being honest.

If you want raspberry flavor you should buy some raspberry from nirvana no joke (i think they still offer this line blackberry is a cross with their raspberry to black domina and has monster yield too). Big yields of old school dank. Chimera is not too active right now but his blockhead x medina is fuckin huge yield of honey raspberry skunk. The medina is a line he hand selected in morocco on a trip. Pictures of his trip and what not are posted in his forum on the mag. I think gypsy's new seed guy on realgorillaclothing will be posting a drop soon and it will be the last drop for good while from Chimera. He just made new seed stock but he is having to organize a new supplier in the UK.

As far something going wrong with the breeding I would definitely be asking what generation it is and whether it was a self or feminized. Selfing things while a good breeding tool is a highway to hell as far as inbreeding goes. A lot of selfing can lead to horrible traits just 2 and 3 generations in and lets face it most of these lines are from selfed bagseed to begin with....

Pure Raspberry Kush description that is or has been basically everywhere for the sale of the seeds:


Pure Raspberry Kush Fem (Raspberry Kush Clone x Raspberry Kush clone)
The Raspberry Kush Clone is an older cut from Norcal. Its currently one of my favorite cuts, if this cut was more widely passed around, it would have the same amount of hype as the Cookie cut, except the Raspberry Kush is better, it actually taste and smells like Raspberries, I didnt believe it till I grew it out for myself,and its true. Pure Raspberry Kush will give you big yields of purple /pink, raspberry smelling kush dom flowers. If I was going to try just 1 CannaVenture line, it would probably be this one. If you can get your hands on the Raspberry Kush Clone…..Do It! If not…. Run Pure Raspberry Kush! You’ll see.


And I also am like you and agree. Just be straight up about stuff. People will like and trust you more, and actually trust spending money with you more so you eventually may make more money. I would be down to snag some Cannaventure gear with the prices he's offering but I don't want to dedicate the plant count and time/space to something that is more inconsistent than consistent as of late.

I have a freebie CSI:Humboldt great white bubba that is a fem seed, looks like a sturdy normal plant super vigorous. Different strain for sure, but just looks like a normal fantastic regular seed/plant. I would lean towards what you are saying is the breeding has brought upon/out certain undesirable traits. I think one of those is the intense but very skinny weak lateral branching of the Raspberry. I even thinned it out and still same thing. branches don't really strengthen up.

So when it says everyone along the lines of "Huge" or "big" yields and then it pans out the exact opposite, you don't look good as either way the explanation isn't going to make you look good.

Yeah he needs to change that when commenting on his own product. That sort of small shit really bothers me. Just being objective though he is in California and may not know what a good yield actually is (lol just pokin fun).

I couldn't disagree more, not sure why you have such shitty luck with CV gear.
I've found zero abnormalities with any of the seeds and all strains have been very similar.
Granted CV is new to me, I've had excellent growth and vigor from each and every plant.
My LVTK in the tent was absolutely stellar, everyone I've given samples to loves it.
The one in the GH is a beast and will easily pull 1 to 1.5lbs.
The Cookie Wreck and the Half and Half are also healthy robust plants thus far, and should easily pull 1.5 lbs each.
My Albert Super Tramp and Cheap Thrills are doing very well so far and expect good results.
SD....:peace:

it's been 2 weeks since the last update. these lvtk are still bulking but don't look close to finishing at all. today marks day 65 of flowering. While I was correct about how long they would take before they started yellowing, I did think they would be close to finishing by now or I would have planned their feeding better. I can't believe these bitches are going to need another top dress. I hope they keep their leaves long enough to finish up nice. They have a long way to go.










I've only grown these two plants so far from CV but they are proving to be vigorous and heat resistant, even if the plant structure isn't what I would have chosen. I see a lot of people rage quitting the lvtk because one of the phenos is slow to flower and put on weight. i'm jealous of the ability to be so fussy but it seems a bit short sighted, especially after putting in the work in veg. my skinny bud pheno had jelly bean sized buds for weeks but she filled the fuck out in time and I had to stake her today. the fat bud pheno has been staked for weeks already.

nothing against cash croppers but watching people freak out and trash plants because they didn't cup your balls in the first 3 weeks of flower is borderline insane to those of us who are interested in how the smoke turns out more than how many lbs we can get. I'm a personal use homegrower with an appetite for variety. I could give two fucks if a plant takes a few weeks to hit her stride if she tastes good and gets me ripped how I like.

I just popped a couple Albert super tramp beans myself. We'll have to see what we end up with. I'm not sure what to expect, other than some "funk" from a description in an email.
Hopefully we can learn a little more when CV does there next drop. I think @ slow drawl has some alberts about a week ahead of mine we can keep an eye on.I am guessing we were all in the same batch that got delayed in shipping.

One almost looks like it's starting to pop nanners.
Hard to tell from pics, but I'd keep an eye on the plant in 2nd to last pic.
