To be fair he clearly said that he never had a hermie from ihg gear. Barneys farm hermied on him.

Yeah as for a herm city Im still pushing back a truffle cake pack I got. White truffle is hermie prone, pancakes is hermie prone. What could go wrong?
yea you're right. Ya caught me on a technicality there while i was trying to get all technical. nice!

Ppl do care. It very much effects their purchasing decisions when they research a company and see they are low quality and high prices. Saying no one cares on a cannabis forum for this is pedantic.
So you will never bought seed junky , cannarado , exotic or cookie fam if you think like that what did u expect???

So I had 5/10 on the 'Color of Space' germ. The remaining 5 seeds I made a small split with a razor ( as an experiment) on the part of the seed that splits open and to my surprise one of them grew a tap root out of it. The others were toast. I agree that you shouldn't have to manipulate the seed for it to pop and it was probably a rushed release as stated. I've made thousands of my own seeds and the only time I had germ issues was when the seeds weren't dried properly or left on the plant long enough to mature.
I always scruff my seed before popping them , help a lot with old seed

I'm always curious when someone complains about a seed company if they purchased from a verified seed bank or a sketchy reseller. With so many fake packs around I only purchase direct from breeders or their recommended vendor.

All from verified seed banks, with Neptune being my favorite. There is no excuse othe than poor quality seeds. The color of space even got replaced because of so many complaints to the Seedbank of really bad germ rates.

Apple jax after a couple weeks in the jar. Lots of terps but I’m not sure I’m crazy about them. It definitely has the jack terps with some apple in there, but it’s more of an apple peel rather than biting into an apple. I’m going to keep this pheno around for a run or two to see if it grows on me but the genetics just have too many herms to justify searching through the whole pack when I have a fridge full of bloom and sin city gear. I should add that they weren’t just a couple stress balls on the lowers on week three but balls on every node right from the pre flower.

I don’t mean to discourage anyone if they have them, because I only popped 4 seeds and found a decent plant. But I’ve never had two of four with full blown intersex, and it sounds like I’m far from the only one with these results from the pancakes line. I’m sure if you have the space and time to hunt you’d find some exceptional plants in those packs but there’s plenty of cheaper breeders with much better sexual stability.

It's looking like I have 2 potential runts/mutants out of a 5-pack of JMO. Already well behind the other 45+ seeds I have going, with some gnarly 1st leaf set. Read about a few mutations in this cross, so not that surprised. No time or space for mutants/runts/slow-growers on this hunt, so if they don't get their shit together in the next week, they'll be culled or cast-aways.

Two seedlings in question vs normal healthy seedling:

im the kind to think everyone deserve a chance and with breath ascendence , ive learned those runt that take forever are generally those that will give you most of the unique pheno that everyone crave for and generally when you take clone they seem to grow faster than starting from seed , if you got space let them do maybe there a good surprise

I've found the opposite to be true. In my experience they are low-yielding, herm-prone, and don't match the quality of the normal/healthy seedlings. I have a 4000 W multi-strain flower room, and I'm selecting phenos with that in mind. Slow growing runts and mutants screw with the schedule and end up taking space that a better performing plant could use.

I'll give them a bit of time, but if they continue to show leaf mutations and lag significantly behind the other seedlings, I'll give them to a buddy. I can always get a cut back in the rare chance that one turns out to be a winner. I've been popping beans for 25 years, and regret growing out the runts/mutants 90% of the time that I've done so.

I’d take the chances if I were you. $250 is a lot to throw away. Ran a half pack so far and I’ve had pretty decent luck w the strain, 2 of 5 seeds threw sacs week 3 of flower (like 2 sets each plant) 3 were without a problem. I know not ideal, but nothing catastrophic. smells kinda like sweet syrupy apple cake or something. Translates to taste well, and pretty potent too. I’ll definitely be finishing the pack up.
