Dude, GHS is absolute garbage! I would never order from them ever. All F1 Seeds have way more phenos in a pack,you need a 10 pack with them. If you're messing with F4's or F5's picknmix is cool. I'm telling you on F1's Reg seeds a 5 pack is not enough to usually find a good pheno, it's like playing a slot machine, the more you play the better you're chances are.
i havent had the best luck with GHS. while a lot of their strains did turn out to be crap (big bang, kings kush, etc) but ive actually had a winner or 2 through pick and mix. really. i got a great white shark from them as a freebie and it grew very nicely and produced very good quality smoke. it was a very nice indica i used to unwind at the end of the day.
the kings kush i ordered through pick and mix was crap. it was a runt...gave me 1/2 oz while all my other plants gave a minimum of 2.75 oz and my biggest yielded 4-4 1/2 oz. plus it smelled/tasted like crap. seriously. it was the most unpleasant pot smell ive ever smelled. (and no it wasnt moldy...just crap lol)
when ordering from ghs i feel ordering by the pack is necessary if you want something good unless maybe you go with something they have that they are "known" for. like maybe super lemon haze or super silver haze. i see many good grow/smoke reports from ppl buying their beans through pick and mix.
When ordering from Attitude, get the protective tin box - extra $10 - makes seeds crushproof. The best current freebies I've seen are at seedsman: 3 free Mosca Azucar with any Mosca buy plus seedsman free white widows. Herbies has some sweet CH9 for free.
check out herbies. they have a promo goin. i ordered from them this past wkend. i ordered 2 3packs of mandala's california dream and fruitylicious plus i ordered 2 from dinafem through pick and mix. i believe i got a dinafem diesel and a critical jack. then to fill out my cart (i was just short of more freebies so i got some cheap super hash strain...probably crap but ill give it a whirl anyways)
for that order i got (for free): 1 RP kandy kush fem. 2 dna lemon skunk (after reading about this strain im VERY excited to grow it) and 5 sleestack x skunk #1 from seedsman. if i would have ordered more i could have got 3 beans from royal queen i think and 10 sleestack x skunk #1 instead of 5 but im also planning on ordering enough from attitude to qualify for their promo too so i figured forget the extra beans from herbies
"Dude, GHS is absolute garbage!"
Likely, but I know of good grows their Exodus Cheese and Trainwreck. Whether the strains are fake or not, the smoke was top notch.
i agree. in large part ghs can be crap but they say even a broken clock is right twice a day. their GWS was excellent especially considering i got it through pick and mix and it gave me good smoke.
the SLH and SSH from them is on my short list of "to grow" strains. i might get a SLH through pick and mix. im still playing with the shopping cart (adding and deleting strains) to see what strains i can fit into my remaining bean budget. after this order i wont be placing one for probably at least a year.
