For future buyers, I put my order on chitownseeds, there is free shipping on orders over 80, but you have to select it, it automatically defaults to 10$ shipping, and under it is where you select free shipping. In a rush I didn't read it, and could've saved on shipping. Has anyone grown Dream Queen (Feminized) from them? How was your experience, is there anything to look out for, I'll be mainlining it for 16-32 colas outdoors in ground, in zone 7a/b. Also how does their dream queen compare to their Apple Blossom? Dream Queen is my absolute favorite strain, it's a creeper euphoric sativa high, with light pain relief. This is my second grow ever, thanks for any advice

I have a couple of humboldt poundcakes that I got for free that I’ve been vegging alongside others and to tell the truth I’m scared to flower them out from fear of it being trash. I’ve had bad luck with shit genetics in the past and i don’t want to take that chance again

I can only speak for myself but I've run a decent amount of HSC and liked my stuff, including stuff I got as hembra freebies. Garlic Budder and Blueberry Muffin were both strains I got as throw-ins for purchases of other seeds off Hembra, and Garlic Budder was probably my best strain last summer, very stony indica and everyone who tried it loved it. I even gave a cut of it to my local hydro guy and it was a great performer for him too.
Wedding cake and its crosses are always going to run some risk of herming (there's an overgrow thread of someone running a pack of them straight from Seed Junky, purchased from platinum, and the females all hermed, the site is down right now but this is the link: https://overgrow.com/t/seed-junky-genetics-wedding-cake-grow-show-will-it-herm/64037/), but I'm running two blueberry cupcakes right now (Blueberry Muffin x Wedding cake) and I'm just going to watch them closely and see how they go. They're S1s of the clone used for the grow-off competition a year ago.

Yup, my wife paid shipping too for a Christmas gift to me. I was curious about it so i bought some bbm regs from chitown and sure enough they have it defaulted to paid shipping. Toggle it to free friends. I paid 81.00 bucks for 20 regs of bbm. That’s the best deal i see currently. I’m happy with them. I think this is my third order.

These are excellent flowers. I really like the structure of the mountain mints you got here. Same for these stupid fruits. Nice rock clusters. Looks easy to trim up as an extra bonus. You’re very skilled. How did the smoke on stupid fruits and hella jelly turn out?Hey folks! Here's the sister plant to @PopAndSonGrows Mountaintop Mint as well as my first of many Hella Jellies. The nose on mine is a sweet, almost creamy, skunk with subtle minty-menthol notes, very difficult to describe. Almost as if a freshly showered skunk had just run through a mint field but with nuances. Think inhaling mint through an unlit menthol cigarette.
I also included the current Hella Jelly, done now, and some past ones from last year

This one is my own creation alt titled "Making Lemons from Lemonade"
It's an intentional cross. The Vanilla Frosting was one of three plants infected with WPM
after I introduced a foreign plant w/o quarantine, so I put it outside.
I just happened to have a Blueberry Muffin male laying around from the regular seed run
and here we are..

The early nose was Blueberry Play-Doh but has since transitioned into a creamy cherry medicine
with some RHCP funk.
It was 11/13 from seed basically and I put some effort into f*ck*ng her up but she still managed to
come out alright. She's in day 5 of dry right now. I'll be working my way through the rest of the
beans, but so far, Outlook Good!
See ya!

He gave me a sample of his Jelly, and honestly it smells just like Purple Punch, it has a nice berry aroma, smokes really nicely too.

We've washed a decent amount of it for bubble hash, then freeze-dried the hash (just on parchment in a freezer) and pressed it for rosin and it's an absolutely lovely sativa smoke.The pop/trim makes for excellent oils/infusions. Just found a couple jars of trim I forgot about.. more pills
This was some of the hash from earlier this year, still in the process of freeze drying. The rosin from it is a light tan color.
Playing the hits! The smell is something else; there's a reason they have so many BBM crosses.

I bought an 8th of bbm a year or so ago and it was perfect for me. I don’t like super strong thc stuff anymore. Felt bbm was perfect for me. Also the smell was excellent! Looking forward to growing it.

I can smell that from here! Looks good, what press do you use? I've been wanting to try but those damn things are $. Worth it?

So, the plates I use are the press club's 3"x5" plates. I generally don't spend a lot of money but occasionally I will splurge and I got them as a treat to myself. My thoughts on them:I can smell that from here! Looks good, what press do you use? I've been wanting to try but those damn things are $. Worth it?
- They're well-made plates, and the kit is reasonably priced compared to something like low temp. But they are definitely not cheap.
- They also won't come with the actual press portion, so you'd need something like an H-frame shop press with an appropriately strong hydraulic jack. If you can get a shop press locally it's usually cheap, shipping one can be expensive because of weight.
- 3"x5" = 15 square inches, so as long as it's >8 ton you should be able to comfortable press flower, but less is necessary for pressing hash.
- The controller can be a little weird to get used to for setting the temperature, but it's not terribly complicated.
- Their rosin bags are really nice, they release a small amount at the beginning of each month as 3 bags for $1 of the micron size of your choice. If you're an infrequent presser, it seems nice.
- However, they give rewards points for purchases and if you actually shell out for plates you'll have more than enough to get bags for free.

Really appreciate all the info. I've done the bubble bags before with ice, yet to try dry ice. Those plates don't seem that bad of a deal, def going to do more research now. Thanks again I'll keep you posted when I get my hands on some.

Last update on the Race to the Mountaintop challenge between @PopAndSonGrows and myself.
First off, these seeds were gifted to me by aliencat420. The seeds were given to him by Nat. There's no question about this. What there is a question about is what exactly we were running.
Both Popandsongrows and my plants were nearly identical in phenotypes. His description of terp profile fits mine closely. Having said that, there are anomalies then and now that present questions.
The first being this freakish fan leaf from popandson:
The second being the second Mountaintop Mint bean I popped:
And HSC's response:
Having said that, here is the haul on our friendly competition, details can be found here in jonnynobdy's post:
I walked away with roughly 106 grams after a two week dry. I'd already smoked 7 grams by the time I did the actual weigh but didn't add that to compensate for any residual water weight.
PopansSonGrows total dry weight was 79 gms. We both pulled at 70 days but I feel mine could have gone another 10 days easily. I'd say 75-80 days is the sweet spot for this one.
The nose on mine is rubber/burnt rubber with hints of sweet skunk. Definitely no mint whatsoever but there is a "grassy" freshness to the inhale.
The profile is almost identical to the Freakshow I ran earlier last year but..
It's better. Like way better. It's difficult to describe. There's a lot going on here. The more it cures, the more of a profile becomes present. I'm starting to get faint hints of berry-ness on mine but it's mostly a cool burnt-rubber.
Bonus Hella Jelly:
People can say what they want about HSC but I will definitely be running their gear regularly. I like the company and what they represent and so far their stuff has been pretty on point except the MTM and let me tell you, I'm not complaining.

That's really cool! It's only the second time I've seen this, but someone else on Instagram had a mountaintop mint pheno with freakshow-style leaf serration. I guess you got another!Last update on the Race to the Mountaintop challenge between @PopAndSonGrows and myself.
