Dave at AAKBB got back to me. This is his complete reply.

Occasionally we find herms but not often , I’ll check that out, no one has gotten back to me at all on anything, we have a quality guarantee If you have any problems
One guy did say he had problems but said it was his problem not genetics
Thanks D

Sounds like if anyone has had major problems, he wants you to contact him. He says nobody has gotten back to him about anything.

He wont know unless those who had a problem, tell him.

Do I see some Marigolds in the background? Great coloring! My marigolds waited until the vegetables were almost done producing before they decided to bloom, and they got almost 4' tall. I believe I picked a bad spot for the garden, don't think it was getting enough sun. But the marigolds look incredible now :lol:

Good eye. They’ve been bursting all summer for me. This was the first year I added them to my garden. I’d say it made a difference

Blk Dom bx Day 65.......no nanners
I have one Golden Showers and two Black Velvets that so far look good. The GS is 48 days in to 12/12 and the Black Velvet is 19 days in. The only problem with these so far is one of the BV is kind of mutated and looks like some of DJ Shorts 2000ish era Blueberry that would throw some mutants. The Golden Showers is growing a really nice fat main cola about 12 inches long, which surprises me under a 315 CMH. I've had colas like that under my 1000 watt HPS but didn't really think the 315 could produce something that nice. The only ones I had problems with was the TKNL5Haze. I had three females and all three threw bananas mid/late flowering and seeded the whole room. I ran them twice, once with the seed plants and once with clones from the seed plants and they hermied both times. I'm running some Lucky Dog, Cannarado, Rare Dankness, Crickets and Cicadas, Katsu, and a couple of 707's strains besides the Golden Showers and Black Velvet. The only ones I've seen problems with is a Rare Dankness Dank Commander threw some single male balls below some of the nodes about 2 weeks in to 12/12, which I picked off and they never grew back, (never had that happen before, ever) and the TKNL5Haze, which threw bananas mid/late in to 12/12. I tried picking them off as I found them, but they just kept popping more and more, so I chopped them probably two weeks early just to be done with them. The TKNL5Haze is pretty good smoke, but a pain in the ass to pick all the immature seeds out of them.

Did any catpiss/ammoniated terps come out on the Golden Showers? No one has posted pictures of it, would love to hear your description. I was thinking about running that next.

I never said anything to Dave about my problems. I'm not really one to complain really. If I have a problem, I'll mention it, but then just move on. I'm not really looking for any freebies from him, but I'll message him and let him know what I experienced with them so he knows.

I'll have to have my buddy or my son check for the catpiss odor. I lost most of my sense of smell about 20 years ago. I can sometimes smell some that have a citrus odor, but I'm not sure I'd be able to smell the catpiss odor. I'll have one of them check the next time they stop to visit.

Here is a shot of the Golden Showers I took a few days ago. Not the best pic I've ever taken, but just wanted to send to my buddy who is growing the Hawaiian CP.

I know you didnt, and I noticed 1-2 others said they got Hermis, so I thought it appropriate to mention it to Dave to check into any kind of problem with hermi prone genetics. Im sure he would really like to hear from anyone that may have had a problem.

And from what I know youre an honest person, have been here longer than me, posted millions more photos ect, spent 1000s on seeds. Probably 10,000s of thousands, and arent trying to fuck around.

I don't effe around either. I have been here for over 10 yrs under different names. I get into trouble messing with the led guys,LOL
I have packs of other breeders, some good and some bad, I give everyone a chance. I grew more of akbb seeds than any others that gave me trouble. BUT, I also grow a perpetual and have many different strains going, so when only one breeders stuff continually pops nanners and the others don't, well i don't need to go any farther than to just move on. I mean, he can't give me back all the bud that got seeded or the ones I cut after getting halfway thru flower. Or the months of work and soil, nutes,electricityand so on. I had cali connect do the same shit and I just moved on, I'm not contacting swerve, he already knows he sells junk.
You have admittedly been banned from the site before for trolling LED growers, and you also admit to having/using multiple accounts on here, as well.
So we should all be taking your word on things, based off of what, your credibility?

whatever, I admitted it, and it has NOTHING to do with this, so believe what you want. I just reported my findings, I asked for nothing and I trolled no one here. I never mess around in journals or seed reviews. sorry I hurt your feelings on this guy, but his stuff really is crap, bunch of red hair mids at best.
you must be one of the butthurt LED guys, LOL
I see you have bought a bunch of his seeds, have you actually grown any in your little tent? I also see you're growing some sub gear. welcome to 2010,memes and JTR. at least that is one thing that subs gear NEVER did, threw nanners or hermed.
Wow, for a troll thats been banned multiple times, you're not very good at this.
If your debate skills are any indication of you growing acumen its no wonder you end ups with nothing but hermies.
I've grown Sub's gear out before, multiple times, and never had any nanners (Timewreck, Ripped Bubba, and Jilly Bean).
His gear only goes hermie if you stress it out via overfeeding, high temps, etc; which you obviously did.
So please, keep giving me more ammunition with which to point out what a completely incompetent grower you are.

sorry you bought so much of his gear and never grew any, now you find out it's booboo weed and you're pisssed. LMFAO @ you
I mean, in all honesty, I've grown a handful of AKs strains so far and had no issues with herms. Meanwhile every damn Mephisto auto I grow goes herm on me while no one else seems to have issues. Some wits just shit luck man. I can definitely say AKs Romulan BX4 is not red haired mids though... took a little hunting but there are some fire phenos in there. His Dope Beard Durban was nice too. My only complaints about AKs gear, and it's more observations, is a lot of his strains seem to start slow and require quite a bit of hunting for the right phenos. But honestly I've had similar experiences with Bohdi... I'm not discrediting your experiences at all either, it's just in your shoes I'd have an open dialog with the breeder and report back to the community on your experiences, but saying All his gear is garbage when clearly other people enjoy it is... well... trolling. Be measured, don't be defensive and we can all get along.
