cali connection blackwater...boo!

Exactly , seeds are like the lottery , sometimes you have the winning ticket sometimes you don't

winner winner chicken dinner!!!!!! Exactly!! Its not like there is a quality control department for cannabis seeds. I've had lame ass seeds from Reserva Privada before its risk vs. reward all day...

Ive gotten bad plants from every breeder ive purchased seeds from. Dont cry when you only get 2 keepers instead of 3.

I remember when we bought seeds that didn't require test grows, pheno hunts and all. We got plants that actually resembled each other and met the description provided by the BREEDER when grown out. It really disappoints me to see people defending the fact that you need to test gear first, that's the job of the breeder by the way, and to expect pheno selection to the point of expecting one keeper out of a ten pack. Sad.

Bro seeds are like people , every kid isn't beautiful , even if you take two beautiful people they might still have a ugly kid, seeds aren't man made products so you will and always have had variation .

I have had good experience with CC gear so far, so my opinion is neutral.

Note to all the bashers on the board as of lately:

Publicity sells...

Every negative post brings tons of haters and lovers. Many people read, research and purchase. Keep hating your making this guy rich.

Think the prices are too high? Guess what, he is selling packs like crazy.

Think the genetics are shit? I have seen some CC bubba and tahoe that will blow other strains out of the water.

Dont like swerve? I think he is an asshole. But, I dont know where to get a better tahoe here in michigan that has the og funk.

Im sure he gets a boner everytime he sees one of these threads. Cha Ching

REal Talk!!!! NAh but swerve my homie eventho his ass too busy to get me some gear lol...

 

[Fresh 2 De@th]

and those that have gotten free replacement gear from me know its all how you approach me and the situation

and how is that, what you want them on their knees before you decide to replace anything?
the same dude earlier in this thread + the other one, had respectfully stated an issue with a jedi pack while defending you and you still have yet to acknowledge him or his issue. it seems like you pick and choose who you decide to give replacements to (mostly fans of yours) and leave the rest hanging. seriously 2 out of 10 beans and you didn't jump to clear that up is mind boggling to say the least.

from my research and kicking it with some well established members on these boards, you are 100% correct. but at the same time who really wants all of the same phenos from one pack of seeds, even the old heads stated how much they love the hunt now in days. in these times, people are looking for something special of their own, and i am one of them. haven't been growing for a very long time but i do like the fact that i can pop a pack and get some variation and pick and choose what goes and what stays for specific reasons.

Buying seeds is always a gamble, im THE first to tell you this and understand it as well. i have a shit ton of seeds.

Buying The Cali connection is always a HEAVY gamble. dude has good genes, but he doesnt know how to do the seeds side properly it seems.
Also i dont like supporting people who treated me badly, swerve can be a jerk. he just tries to make up with his short comings by giving freebies to everyone who puts him on super blast. its pathetic. im so glad i had a CHOICE between freebies on the tude. dna/r.p. over tcc all day...

Boo indeed...

 

[smellzlikeskunkyum]

i cant wait until the next big ultra elite comes along, and people stop freakin out over the whole chem line. i mean i admit im into it myself. we all want the best meds. but we shouldnt have to go thru hell to get them. i cant wait to grow my dinachem, and the dna/rp stuff.
i hate to admit it but i even wanted to hope that those boss hogg seeds would be worth it. the hope of getting the best shit, and obviously hype, is what keeps this line of genes going.

fuck cali conections. had some dead head og cut a whole crop down 3 weeks into flower garbo

OMG THANK YOU. and shame on redman 420 for being on both sides of swerves bull. first u put him on blast. and as soon as u see some free shit u start backing him up? how about wating until u see how many of those seeds leave you with plants that were not only worth the $ but the hassle.

 

[smellzlikeskunkyum]

my buddies chem valley absolutely WONT clone. i cannot figure it out. all of his other 20+ strains we can get to clone. self explanitory.

 

[smellzlikeskunkyum]

i mean if it aint the breeder being a troll and popping his stupid comments in to sell his gear, its his gear period. or the damn customer service. or the service. its a joke dude. i got attacked so hard for defending myself against swerves sarcastic comments about my ogk thread. the freakin thread got mostly deleted and now go figure. all u see is my Cali Con gear sucked. my cali con never came. ive never seen a major breeder with such good genes fudge up his dealings so bad. he even makes me hate that font his stupid company uses for everything. your not the godfather bro, grow up.

What?? I bought seeds didn't get them ,Swerve said that he had just looked over them and sent them + , so I'm still supposed to be mad at the guy?? He made shit right with me and I had been growing his gear for the past 3 years with great results .

fair enough we both have our opinions and i appreciate you not being rude.
i just got the general idea that u didnt have a good opinion of the company in general. im glad u got some good stuff.

Yeah I have been very happy with most of Cali connection gear I have ran, when I take my stuff to the dispensers they always ask if I'll sell the some cuts .

When I buy gear I'm buying it based on the description (and what research I can com across on the interwebs) and expect it to be what is described. If theres 15 different pheno variations in one "strain" do we really call that a strain or just a lottery ticket? I'm all for getting a sativa or indica leaning pheno in any of the hybrids I buy (all I buy) but if I want to "pheno hunt" I'll do it ALOT cheaper than at 20 bucks a seed! lol
My bottom line is this: I'd never ran any CC gear, but had been thinking about it. Thanks to the ones on here keeping it real and letting it b known that there's alot to think about when getting CC gear!

PS. I am down w/ the fact the shit happens and have gotten good and bad outcomes from the same breeder, out of the same strain. Nevr had a problem w/ Dinafem gear until thjis past season and got a super silver to hermie on me. So I wont run any more of thos and may not run any more dinafem at all since I run a side by side of the DF OGK and the reserva privada OGK and the DF was def inferior to the rp. idk tho the df Sweet deep grapefruit is the bomb!

 

[rory420420]

Hey look,I said I was o.k. with it..I could say hey swerve suck the balls that popped up from your genetics,but I'm not..hell I got 3 weeks on the keepers and then the 2nd run after to decide if it sucks or not..looks great so far,I just startedthis thread to let people know MY story/experience/situation...I don't know the dude..but now I got some blackwater X cannadential seeds in my shit..and it sux..so there it is..I can't vouch for you other guys but wholly agree defening his shit 1st thing was awful suspicious.."me thinkith ye protesthes too much" sayeth shakespeare..I'm. Just a grower dude..settle down...portray the opposite you been cuz,really cuzzn,YOU jumped the gun....

 

[rory420420]

And btw dude..I never mentioned the other 3 beans..one got lost,my fault..and the other two grew like,well,ill say I wasn't satisified..other two..doing good..hope they don't fuck up in my perfect conditions I've been growing in this mild winter...very nice conditions indeed...

 

[stak]

Popped 5 "feminized" seeds..got 3 keepers,1 hermied and my partner didn't see it in time..I knew swerves stuff was touted to be unstable,but I chose to ignore the issues and got a crop of cannadential that is full of little half mature seeds,and the blackwater was the culprit..I culled the hermie and still have 2 keepers and they are 3 weeks away and beautiful,but I'm unsure if having a shitty quality crop is a risk anyone wants to take to find a golden egg in cali connections genetics..next time I order beans it won't be from CC...next time ill listen to that little voice in my head...and half the members here on r.I.u..

How do you not catch it in time? There's more than a week from the time male parts start showing up before the pollen starts getting released. How can you not catch it in that amount of time in a properly maintained garden? Shitty genetics or not there is obviously shitty gardening going on as well.

Well yes and no. His persona and business practices may resonate with the more "punk kid criminal gangsta" crowd of cannabis growers. However there is also the newer medical growers that may not really appreciate this kind of business practice. I am a medical grower for a group of patients and I usually get my new strains via a clone exchange, but I do sometimes look for seeds. Not exactly this thread, but other threads I have seen have really turned me off this brand.

I have no experience with the genetics, but have been turned off from how the spokesmen for the brand comes off as a gangster criminal. On the flip side, you have a company like Rare Dankness who has a spokesman here that seems extremely professional. I have no experience with either and CC genetics could be out of this world and RD could be crap, but I would still be more likely to try RD over CC from just the persona I have seen on this forum alone.

Just my opinion anyways.
