bodhi seeds

Makes humidity super high and softens the husk, making it easier for the plant to shed it. You can also spray the plants with water, but I have found the cups to be more effective.[\QUOTE]

I thought that might be the case. Humidity in the veg cab can fluctuate from optimal ranges to as low as 20%rh so I can see how a dry spell could cause the husk to become fused on. Because that sucker is on there tight!! I knew I would damage it trying to force it off so I haven't bothered, just figured I'd wait and see what happens. One of the others managed to get the first leaf set out despite the husk keeping the cotyledons pinned together vertically. It was an odd sight for about a week but now I couldn't pick which one it is out of the bunch so it doesn't seem to have been negatively affected by it. I'm definitely going to try the cup trick when I get home and I'll report the results.

I have thick husks push off plants like that all the time. Slide off the top rather than crack in half. It's always interesting to see though. But yeah, plastic cups over the seedlings for a few days works like a charm. Just make sure you take the cups off as soon as the shed the husk.

MWS confirmed that some people were complaining of crushed seeds and this was to prevent that. Aside from the different packaging, service was prompt.

ETA. Interesting the breeder packs can be opened without breaking the Bodhi seal.
So they did tamper with the seeds!

Seed banks have been protecting seeds for years without opening the packages...

Some banks used hard portfolio edges to slip around the seeds and package for extra protection.

Moreover, all the other Bodhi vendors don't seem to require repackaging to deliver them undamaged.

in all honesty, it's a very shady practice.

Yeah in my dwc cookies crosses are pulling around 3 zips per 3 gallon bucket. For reference, the ogs I grow out out 6-8 oz per 3 gallon bucket. My aero 16 gallon Im getting a zip per cut though so they may just like aero.

@coolkid.02 MWS is a pick and mix seed bank so they almost always "tamper" with the seeds. There's no other way to buy one or two seeds without them opening the pack. Although I'm not positive I do believe MWS also offers full packs in sealed breeders packs if you request it. I think the caveat is that they won't offer stealth or guaranteed shipping in breeders packs. With a pick and mix bank you have to trust they are shipping you what they say they are so reputation is everything, and MWS has a pretty good rep unlike Bonza Seeds. As far as US banks not tampering with Bodhi packs... Again it comes down to trust because I know for fact seeds can be slipped out without disturbing the label which is only a half step from slipping in other seeds. I'm not accusing anyone of doing that but their have been reports of possible tampering or even fraudulent seeds

Duh.....
I believe it's TSSC that sends pieces of the breeders pack with their singles.

Or a great business decision. Those vials in bulk probably cost pennies. A cheap defense against dishonest buyers that crush crap beans, take pics, and effort to obtain quality replacements.

I bought two full packs & I didn't select "remove from breeder pack" and they let me choose the stealth option w/ Insurance. I'm hoping they wouldn't let you buy insurance they wouldn't uphold.

I'm assuming all their packs are opened for extra seeds and resealed. It all comes down to trust. Just wanted to see if you guys had a similar experience.

Tssc def sends pieces of the breeder pack. Had a few orders with them...they're legit.

This one was soaked 3 days aftet the rest and is showing a weird duckfootish leaf growth. Anyone with more experience and knowledge know where this comes from? Space monkey is gg4 x wookie. Any input is appreciated 20160528_104637.jpg

Only one cookie cross I have looks to be a 6-8oz. Girl scout haze cookies from connoiseur genetics. But I got 1 315w cmh over each screen so it fucking better yield that much.
