How are you so sure of that?

Growers Choice has them in stock but I balked using a card when they asked for account and routing numbers.

The resulting plants varied greatly in height, leaf morphology, lateral branch count, flower density, smell and of course taste. I'd find it hard to believe that its the result of phenotypic variation in Harlequin. Also, they all went into flower at week four.

What you are experiencing is pheno variety. No 2 plants from seed will be the same.
As for the flowering that could be anything from an auto flower to growers error.
My point is you are claiming something that you cannot possibly guarantee.
That's not to say human error on the company side doesn't exist. They may have sent you an auto version by accident.
I live about an hour away from the seed bank. Here in Northern California its known to be reputable.

Looks like they accept Zelle payment too.
You're right. I can't guarantee that it's not a result of phenos, the same as you can't guarantee that it is a result of phenos. I made a claim based on my knowledge of cannabis genetics. Maybe I'm wrong, maybe PSB was wrong. Either way, I'm looking elsewhere for my seeds.

Btw, J. Rocket, where did you source your seeds?

Yes but can also be fun and rewarding when you find something exceptionalBalls. My claims aren't looking so hot
Is pheno hunting really so hellish?

I imagine I would need more than 10 seeds for any worthwhile pheno hunting experiment. I'm down for the challenge. Just trying to come to terms with how expensive it would be...

Just cross your fingers and hope you find something worth while in those 7 that popped.
Always fun lol

It scales proportionally. The best of 10 might be as good as the best of 1000, but you won't know until you grow a thousand. You also have to have your grow dialed in to the perfect conditions, which can vary between phenos. You can grow in batches and keep a clone of the best from each batch, but it takes a long time, and frankly, I would get tired of smoking variations of the same thing after a few years.

I attempted to do that, but I must have been too late. The cuttings went into flower with the rest of the plant. I need to do some research into keeping these plants in veg

How long have you been growing?

In total? About a year. So posting here has been a humbling experience.
As for trying to grow Harlequin from seed, that's been going on for 6-8 months. With the plants seeming to go into flower at about 4 weeks under a 18:6 photoperiod.
