HSO BLACK D.O.G

[Highlandbuds]

Recently bought 3 black dog seeds by Humbolt seed organisation , posted about it on insta and a lot of people were saying this particualr strain from HSO was hit and miss , regardless I was growing them anyway so to start with only 2 of the 3 germinated successfully I had 3 other strains germinate at the same time all successfully so the 1 that didn’t pop wasn’t anything that I done .
The two that did pop are just not very good at all there is little to zero space between nodes and really the plants just look like a tangled mess where the others are growing perfectly. I’m just feeling like I’ve wasted almost £30 on 3 seeds I suppose , what’s everyone else’s experience with HSO black dog or even HSO seeds in general was I unlucky or is this a common theme with their seeds .

HSO has been hit or miss with me on the strains I have tried. I havent had Black Dog.

I think going forward I’ll just give HSO a swerve , I’m not into wasting my money which is a shame as they do some fire strains but given what little room I have to grow I don’t have the time or space to be messing with unstable genetics

I bought 3 a couple of years ago. Ran them and liked them so much I grabbed 5 more. 4 of 5 of those were top notch. Liked them so much I included Black D.O.G. into the Jelly Pie project.

Most likely unlucky, obviously not every seed will be a fire keeper which is why lots of people do pheno hunts and pop a whole pack or 2 or 3 packs. Popping just 1 or 3 seeds isnt a fair way to judge a company and rule out their stuff isnt fire.

I look more at the fact they are based in Spain trying to say the product is from Humboldt county in Cali, that keeps me away more than a bad run.

Worth popping all 5 and seeing if u can find a keeper. I got a good one from 3 seeds but didn't clone it (and yes im kicking myself).
HSO is Quality genetics, seeds will always have some variation that's just the nature of the beast.

Doesn't matter how much your spending on seeds to be frank. If you spend say $500 and find one keeper then that one keeper can be cloned for years. Makes the cost of the seeds irrelevant in that context.

"The two that did pop are just not very good at all there is little to zero space between nodes and really the plants just look like a tangled mess where the others are growing perfectly."

So your complaining about the nodes being too tight, that's usually a sign your lights are to close or bright. Most people complain the nodes are to spread out.

The black dog diaries I have read have said its a low yielder but a real good tasty strain and rather strong.
I have only grew a few of the older strains and certainly would have nothing to complain about.
Maybe get intouch with them or the seed bank you bought them from and explain the situation.

All 3 I ran were nice, 2 Im still running.

 

[TrailBlazer12747]

I have 2 in veg. One is normal, the other has shown mutations. It actually topped itself. Which was a first for me. I still plan to flower it out.

 

[Tito#1]

I only ran one (freebie) n it was awesome great taste and smell could have used a little bit more in the potency Department.

The blk bry pheno I have is that way, just could be a littlle stronger. Its nice for early day smoking though.

Hopefully the slurricane male is solid I have cuz I have a nice size blk bry b dog clone ready for loving.

I liked black Dog, was a solid medium producer, got some nice colors, black and purple, excellent bag appeal. very easy cloner so i ran a total of 3 of the 5 seeds, 2 flowered, cured, smoked. one is just finishing now, with 2 clones, one a week in flower, one going into flower today.
I liked HSO Black DOG enuff that when i got a very rooty male Blueberry Muffin- Sequoia seeds...I made seeds...I call those Dog Treat...grew some, ended up finishing one female, shes in cure now, a week in the jar...not sweet at all. I have 3 more of those 30 days in flower...

looks like Black dog to me.I grew a few of these outdoors it's great weed but super small about a 1/4 of the size of my other plants

Yep Black Dog.
Yielded OK for an indoor plant, its not a big producer but then so many decent strains are not.. Smoke was damn good. Lots of people say its a decent smoke but this one was damn good. The other two were different phenos and the smoke was not up to par with this one.

BioVortex I believe created this strain and has in a Black DOG bx5 regs. I like HSO, but will be going with BioVortex for some male pollen.
