Some of the Mimosa Champagne X Royale w Cherries some phenos smell of a cherry orange but with tangy funk. just been calling it Cherry-O like a play on the old California Orange but cherry. plan on working it a little further. made lots of beans to go through. kinda hit almost everything i was running in 2021 with Royale w Cherries and made some f2 of the originals with multiple males then killed them. really interesting stuff to look through.

How did you like those Royale with Cherries? I brought 4 packs of the f2s to look through.

thanks man , that juicy sounds sweet. that royale really brings out some pretty good traits have been using it to add frost and vigor to some of my projects and so far everything im looking through has good traits added from it.

You do a fantastic job in your grow room and I have too many genetics to ever run through, would you be interested in maybe growing out some packs if I sent them your way ? If so I could send you a 8 or 16oz bag of recharge with it if your a user of the product. I don't mind giving out packs but selfish enough just want to see the results in return. Let me know brother

First pack of mean Gene's gear; we're starting our outdoor seeds at the end of the month and these are the last aboard!

"Dolores is a Pure Mexican–not long flowering, very hardy and does good in pretty rough weather.

I got them from my friends Shawn and David – they came from their friend down by Big Sur that has had them since way back, at least the 70s.

Light green and frosty looking, it reminds me of our old northern lights clone. It should breed well with modern stuff (untested indoors but I’d try it since it never herms outdoors).

Most are taller with more narrow leaves but not extreme narrow leaf, a few have slightly broader leaves and more round golf ball nugs but I used my two favorite tall narrow males to make these.

Most of these need support because the buds are fairly dense and resinous and the stems aren’t robust. They have resin that can likely wash but the heads aren’t as big as I’d like to see for a hash plant. I’d expect them to cross we’ll with something with bigger heads though to make hash hybrids since they’re very resinous and not greasy. Screened hash from them has the nice yellow color I remember from the 80s and 90s.

Just received an email from Regerative. Dude acknowledges that he's made some mistakes and seems sincere. Not saying anyone should react one way or another but I know I have made my share and I would feel comfortable giving the guy another order.

But as they say, your mileage may vary.
He's a good dude just overwhelmed because I think he's a one man team definitely not a seed Bank. He helps a small network or community of smaller breeder's and less known groups responsible for cultivars actually the pheno hunter's that work off Gene's, Jay Beezys, Dutch so you have a chance to find high-end projects at cheeper rates. My order took longer than most to arrive but it came but I did have to email him because I didn't understand his system but I bdo now and will use him again

.I have the Skunktek Limeheads and Genes Rootbeer Freeze, Juicy, and the Ice Cream Cake (Honeydew farms cut). I ran Juicy and it was great but only sprouted 2 of them, the ICC I germinated 3 and all were males but can't wait to get back on it because alot of beautiful flowers are coming from the

i ran the yesca og x lime f5 and found a couple beautiful males and hit my tent with them. Females pollinated are skunk x puck bc2 from c&c, and Maui Walker from matchmaker genetics. The males of the yesca lime were tall, stout and great flower development all the way down the branch. Stem rubs were lime gas funkish. I am on day 25 of flower, and around day 7 after pollination.

Looking at all of Gene's gear and multiple growers in here I feel safe now talking about something. I'm going to say with confidence that the whole frosty buds and outer tricomb appearance has become way overated but sale's packs by picture only and buying by picture only due to amount of it on buds should be reanalyzed. Growing Gene's genetics proved this after I have been looking at data mixed with human feedback for a while now. Freeborns buds are usually large dense flowers with stable stem's thick and low hermaphrodite traits but frost is somewhat limited but going to a in-house genetics or beleaf so on and everything is coated with frost appearance but the stem's are week (GG4 example) and buds fairly small but coated with overlaying tricombs. So we become trained to bug out over these but rarely is the frost a head to head difference maker and Gene's work is highly flavorful, potent, but not particularly frost laiden however the individual flowers are much more dense and full. So I have a point to my ramble which is grow different gear and form an opinion of your own but stop wasting monkey on pictures alone because you may save yourself money to use elsewhere and be much more Happy end of the day. Do your homework form your opinion don't let other's try to form it for you, learn enough to be confident because these YouTube grower's are trying to monopolize for themselves and will push any fucking equipment or genetics so on using their fanbase to sell because 100k follower's will net you money but when you find out they promoted a piece of shit that lasted a month they will point fingers at that company and never accept blame for being fanboy's and misleading us all. If you want to look at pictures and production work for entertainment cool but watch opinions they promote like dude Grows, the stash, Mr Growit, pigeons 420 you get the point don't do shit to help you grow better and answering your questions is usually a half-ass response that a new grower can't comprehend. Most of the YT channel's are suckass way's of obtaining free grow lights and gear for their grows due to what, their 100k follower's. I hope this was something that helps you guys and was put together in a way that can be followed and understood. Happy growing all.
This is very true and always has been. If you smoke flowers, as I do, who gives a shit if fan leaves have rails? So many hype cuts look phenomenal or cool but smoke like shit. Oreoz is a perfect example. It's a perfect example of everything wrong with the market.

I’ve found the plants w fat trichome heads hit me way harder than frost monsters w tiny trichome heads.
