I've learned recently that we had "piff" on the west coast in the '90s. It was just another boring weed and we didn't make a deal out of it.
So i guess it's not nostalgic enough for me.
I culled 2/4 of the dwarf piff coast piff s2. They smelled like Purple Dream and had more leaves stacking than stigmas nearing wk4.
The 2 remaining dwarves tried to stretch a bit after moving them to the corner away from the lights.
what piff did you guys have on the west coast in the 90s and how did that not register in your mind til right now even after all the descriptions of the different piff hazes in this thread? also how did you get this far into growing piff S2s and NOT know that it came from bagseed "Piff S1" and that you found piff "boring"? i just spent time reading through this whole thread and you sound superrrrr bitter. telling a company to call themself bagseed farms when they are 100% open and transparent about the breeding process of every seed they make, and you still chose to buy the seeds anyway? is humboldt csi bagseed farms for selling S1s of indiana bubblegum? how would they know the IBG cut they had wasnt a bagseed? also hilarious when like every single major hybrid in the last 30 years was a lucky herm bag seed find or has many bullshit stories around its origin.
i will level with you and say it sucks to get the result you got from a pack of seeds. why didnt you just hit him up and ask him about it? like a customer service issue? instead of throwing a tantrum and bashing the company cause of one bad experience? im sure they wouldve made it right if you were more polite about it. do you go online and lambast restaurants if they accidentally overcook your burger or do you ask them to remake it?
personally i grew 2 packs of the piff s2, only 16 germed, a couple runts got culled early, and i took 9 to flower. one hermed, and i was left with 8 completely different phenos, all lovely representations of the piff haze spectrum. 8 healthy plants out of 20 seeds isnt the best, but i knew that going in with s2. 8 possible keepers, 4 commercially viable, pretty damn good in my opinion. also, running PCF Sour Diesel BX1, PCSD F2, and Blackline Dreams fems. 30/30 germination, 25/30 looking great in week 3.
i had a similar experience that you are having with your Piff S2 with packs of DJ Short Seeds and they sent me another one cause i wrote them a polite email, id try that next time!

piff s2
these are all on day 52 from flip after about 6 weeks above dirt and meristem clones taken. i dont have pics of the #5 which is a mango candy/snapple with a bit of incense on the back. 8 weeker. so nice to have. definitely undershot the N and other foods on these a tad, first time using gaia green dry amendments and erred on the side of lighter since hazes can be finicky. the sativa leaners seem okay but the indica dom ones def wanted more food. im happy with them as is, next run will be bonkers!
#1 - one of the best from the start, grows like a dream and takes anything you throw at her. plum/tangerine sized nugs developing and shes the frostiest one. the most complex complete aroma combining everything you could want in a haze. musty, musky, metallic, piney, woody, dank gym sock, basement, with citrus fruits, perfume and finally incense on the back end. some clear trichs still which is exciting, she will go 70-75 days most likely
#2 - this one and #1 were the most vigorous from the get go, she smells sharp fresh incense and pine. awesome structure and stays narrow in that she barely moves over the edge of the 5 gal, would be great with a tomato cage and a SOG. 10-11 week pheno here.
#7 - the tree. this girl stretched 4-5x in flower. wasnt that huge in veg and then utterly exploded. straight pineapple incense metal terps. super tropical smelling and she is just lovely. about 4ft tall.
#8 - sweet incense mixed with lemon/orange pledge cleaner, good size and yield. excited for the citrus piff, will go about 65 days, mostly milky trichs already
#6 smells like cuban black haze but a less basement must and more woody incense
#3 - smells like you pissed in an old tire, left it in the sun for a day and then shook it up. bushiest hugest structure, cant even fit in one photo. will go about 12 weeks imo.
