I have never had a problem with Archive gear. Always produces top quality!

Grew out over 80 females of various lines from him last round. Kept 2 that are absolute gems and worth keeping around for as long as possible. However, I think top quality is a bit of an over statement. Some nice plants but for 200$ there better be a few keepers in every pack or the genetics need to be highly coveted. Out of 20 plus females on a line that is marketed as sweet grape there were 0 sweet grape smells on any of the plants. Infact there were no sweet smells besides a few phenos that leaned cookie. That was a complete waste 600$ on Grape Ape x Dosidos. Some absolute stunners as far as looks that had no decent high.

Out of 3 packs of SFV OG x Face Off bx2 I got 0 pine or lemon smelling plants (but for one sfv leaner that was extremely muted compared to the real deal and covered up by sour chemdog smell) from a strain that is marketed as pure og but smells like sour chemdog as if it was just another OG IBL based off of chemdog like a lot of people he worked with have done and are doing.

Far from top quality or worth the price if you ask me. None of the OG lines are worth the price tag. Some of the dosidos lines are absolute hands down fire and very much worth the price tag, but some like I said fall completely flat.

Now that is a unbiased fair review...His comments on cost vs. quality has a lot of merit. The bad germ rates may or may not have merit concerning certain lines. I can tell you my female count and germ rates were fantastic and the beans were a few years old.

If a line that costs 200$ is not holding a candle to my nirvana gear (papaya, cookies s1, tangie s1, mango skunk) at 40$ a pack then I can't see how the argument can be made for top quality. My Sativa Seedbank Blackberry !0+ year old seeds made the Grape Ape x Dosidos look like a joke in high, production, smell, and taste.

He has some very good lines and loads of potential. But some lines are simply not ready for prime time and don't merit the price while others do.

That is the most honest I do this shit for a living so my lively-hood depends on it opinion I can give on my experience with his beans so far.

PS herm issues imo greatly exaggerated. Even the ones that popped some balls it was negligible damage and none popped balls from the bud it self just under leafs...Like I have less than 30 S1 seeds from my entire run that round...These were 4-6ft plants.

Which dosido lines were the best from your experience?

So far Sweet Thang, the animal cookie cross, and the forum. Absolute fire in those. You can grow them out and every plant will sell in an illegal state. The quality is worth people paying more for your product vs. buying the mass amounts of outdoor bullshit being exported from all legal states that won't sell in their own state. Shithole outdoor export is the new beasters and people scarf it up it call 'dro' lol. 80 dollar ounces of bs. Prices make it very hard to compete though ;\ Very unfortunate side effect in the current market. So much of it around the 15 year old girl down the street has bows in any neighborhood.

As far legal market goes. Expect 1-2 plants per 2-4 packs on most dosidos crosses that will be worth keeping compared to your clone only's. These are very good numbers given the stage of breeding imo.

I have not run that many different Archive strains.
But their Face Off bx was excellent!
Code Blue nice, but no smell.
So I can see your point!

what are your thoughts on the Slurricane so far?
Click to expand...
It's not too bad, I had 3 q male, 2 females. 1 female wasn't very interesting so I chopped her at 4 weeks flower to clear up space. The one I kept threw an early nanner but is nice looking so far. The smell is peppery and some fruit type smells but nothing over the top. I didn't keep a clone but will run through the rest someday. Definitely will find something nice just gonna have to go through the whole pack I think.

Smoking on this Dolato my buddy just gave me, from last year’s outdoor.

Dank cookie grapey gelato taste with some gas, stings the nostrils. Smells and tastes so good, and quite potent. Considerably better than the wedding cake I’ve been smoking.

EDIT: after looking on IG, it seems Dolato was made by Inhouse Genetics, my error for posting in this thread. I guess half the plant was Archive...

20190521_182055.jpg Just thought I'd chime in.. so far not so good on these slurricane f1s. I bought 5 packs knowing it's a numbers game with f1s. However definitely didn't expect the high herm and male rates that I'm finding.. my homie popped a full 12pk got 2 mutants that had to be tossed, NINE I repeat 9 males and the one "female" he did have was a full blown hermie and got the axe. Hes got other gear in the room that's killing it so I know it wasnt his error.. so I popped the first pack just to see how it goes.. so far got 4 slow/mutant ones the others look good but we'll see. Definitely will keep updating as I go. Not as stoked as I was forsure.. I was all in supporting Archive on this but it's not looking good so far. Time will tell tho

I mean you can't really blame a breeder because high male ratio, that is just a roll of the dice and uncontrollable.

But I do have mixed feelings about the slurris. I had 1 male that threw pistils in early flower, 2 females, 1 that had an early ball sack. I plucked the ball and no more issues here up through week 7 flowering. I killed the 2nd female that didn't hermie at week 4 because she wasn't very special.

The female I kept that threw a ball early is turning out to be just fine but still has a spicy/black pepper smell with like a fruity tone to it. Hopefully she smokes nice.

I'm definitely gonna put the rest of the pack on the back burner till I see more flowered out pics.
