Cali connection seeds what the deal

I will man, guaranteed.

I have 6 Larry OG reg seeds left over from my purchase in April of this year. I will start these in a few weeks when I get a chance to put them by themselves. The first 10 pack gave me 4 females. 2 went right to the garbage because they went into shock from being topped. All the leaves died. The other 2 were healthy but grew balls 2 weeks into flower. I had to chuck one of them because it was too bad to save. The last one went all the way after I religiously pulled the balls off for the next 6 weeks. When it was done it looked and smelled like a cheap imitation of OG Kush. It was airy and light. The high was nothing to talk about and overall it was a total waste of time and effort. I never pulled clones from them because of the hermie problem.

I then gave 4 seeds away and kept 6 for myself from the last pack. The 2 packs cost me over $250 back in April. So far I got 2 ounces of crappy weed from 1 plant. I guess I'll give the last 6 seeds a shot and see what happens.

I don't think I came off as bashing, I assume you must be talking to the OP? I would take some replacement beans if you want to replace the ones I just had to toss. However I'd rather get them in regular instead of feminized.

I was super excited to grow that chem4OG and really only care about getting one good keeper.. I have one left, but choosing my keeper from one plant doesn't fill me with confidence that it will be the keeper pheno anyway.

My problem wasn't germination, 4 out of 6 is fine in my book, mine hermied on me, or looked to be straight males.

I tried to run the Larry also, and never got 1 to the flower room. Ijust chuck weak, puny, looking plants before I waste time and energy on them. I got 1 Deadhead OG to the finish line with no hermies on a reg seed.The smoke was ok, nothing special at all, and the yield sucked. I got 1 good looking plant out of the Chem Vallley Kush pack, it was a male. I used him cause he was stinky fucker. I have some of the offspring in the running now. The Jamaica OG I finished 5 females for the hell of it....total crap. Loose weird lookin buds with no hairs, just these weird lookin pods all over the place. I just cracked a pack of Chem 4 x OG reg. I got good germ rate on them....we'll see. I still have Jamaics OG and Jamaican D seeds left, and a couple Larry cause I didn't run that whole pack.
I always expect to only find a couple good female keepers out of a 10 pack, but I do expect to find a couple at least. And when I say keepers, I mean decent plants that are worth growing again. So far out of all these packs and alot of money.......no keepers have been found. Not good.
That's the way it goes in this industry though, you gotta expect some shadyness.....live and learn....I'm living, and I'm learning!

i have germed 1 blackwater seed 1 ogiesel seed 2 sour og seeds. the blackwater was the only one tht made it out of seedling stage the others germed but either slowed or stopped growth early. the blackwater grew awesome but 3 days into 12/12 my fem seed ended up a complete male, so all the clones and space i had been using up were for nothing. extremely dissappointed cuz the blackwater looks awesome but i will not b getting seeds from them again i cant afford those risks in my rooms

What's weird is I just threw in a whole pack of G13 Labs Pineapple Express and all 5 of them are huge at 2 weeks old. One has a leaf defect where areas of the leaf skin are damaged. I'll let that one grow out, but the other 4 are pure mom keepers for sure.

These genetics come from a decent company that hardly advertises and keeps their prices very reasonable. FEMS no less!! Not one hermie from them ever. I've grown out 7 of their strains and the worst I have ever gotten were a few runts that I let grow out for a zip or 2.

How come they can do this and Cali Connect can't? You should not have to throw a pack down and expect one keeper out of the whole thing. Even DNA/RP have a few herms from time to time but man their shit is dank and most of their seedlings are healthy and strong.

When a company gets a ton of hype and their genetics don't hold up to the prices charged then they need to rethink their strategy and start over. You can start with the prices but at this point I don't know if it will help. GL

Out of a pack of Chem Valleys I got 5 females, one really hermie, one hermie that wasn't bad enough to fuck anything up, 2 good one and a great one. That one is really fuelly and has a great yeild. The flavor wasn't my favorite but enough people loved it I'll keep around for a little while. Not the best pack of seeds ever but that one is worth the 100 bucks. Really wanna try the bubba if it was ever in stock for more than a day. I grabbed 2 packs bubba x deep chunk from cannacopia though (only seven girls but they stink and are real short like bubba is).

i have popped 6 larry fems 4 were very week and stunted 1 nice plant so far havent flowered hernyet, have chem 4 fem im about to clone, doing chem 4 og fems going, tahoes. Had alot of stunted seedling from cali connect. i spent lot on his gear bought purple diesel, jamaican og.....

You guys should just get there reg not there fems i have tryed there whole line up got three ten pack of each found keepers and crap at the same time cvk tahoe and the 98 bubba and sfv are the ones i kept mothers of and they are the most dank take time and pop a whole ten pack to find a keeper and stop buying there fems some companys do good fems i still buy them but not form cc only regs you guys should try emerald triangle seeds they got good shit

This is what I said in my last post in this thread on what you should NOT have to do. You should be able to get a 10 pack from a breeder and have at least 70% of them being top of the line.

If you get one keeper out of a $200 10 pack then you are an idiot to return to this breeder. Waste of time and money to see which of his plants are going to fuck up my garden and ruin months of hard work.

People still buy CC at over $20 a fem seed???

I bought a pack of deadhead right before all of this came to light and I honestly regret buying them and wish I could return them. Even if they get their stuff together and improve their quality I most likely wont ever consider buying their starins again simply because of Swerve and his business tactics or lack there of. Also his attitude is horrible with how he has handled everything both on here and on his own forum.

Don't get me wrong 200 a pack for only one keeper is alot. But I think that if your look around you'll see that the real gems are 1 in 100, or worse. I read along time ago that if you wanted a sensi big bud that produced both yeild and quality you should start with at least 50. Tom hill says the real gem in his haze only shows up 5% of the time. Even true breeding strains have the exceptionally great or not ones. Look at cheese, how many thousands of skunk 1 seeds do you have to go through to find another. I wish more breeders were upfront about that aspect. It would be sweet to see packs of 50 when needed. I think its also jacked up to see so many opinions based on single seeds, I think of my freebies as a nice sample of something new but don't take it to serious because I know there is better phenos out there. I usually don't spend more than 100 a pack, the only time I did none popped (mothers finest) so I take that a lesson. But I also usually only keep one pheno out a pack anyways, it may suck to sort through the lesser ones but once you have that kick ass clone for years to come you tend to forget about her ugly sisters.

I understand what you are saying and I agree to a point. But when G13 Labs gives me 4 out of 5 awesome LADIES in one pack I give credit where credit is due. I can always rely on this breeder to give me more than 1 good FEMALE from a 5 pack with awesome prices.

i agree with huey emerald triangle is the bomb.. love their line up growing several of their strains now. and i will never buy from cali connect again either seeing how he handled another huge fuck up. ograskal didn't make himself look much better acting like a hard ass. There are so many reputable breeders out there that TEST their stock. You guys at cali connect are getting what you deserve. 2merep could only put a cover over this shit show youre calling a seed bank. I hope enjoyed ripping off all the cancer and hiv patients i grow for! Their hard earned money is gone. The money you loot from the sick is blood money and you will get your my friend.
