Cannaventure seeds thread

I happen to run perpetually for 10 years and have other strains always in flower and I think it’s funny how certain strains have all kinds of problems. Others in the same area are solid, some for a dozen or more seed runs. Also funny I have had zero intersex from some breeders for years and others shoot nanners at the first opportunity.

Seems troubles increasing here rapidly as I thought I saw lots of good feedback. Then reports of “balls whistle free over the deep blue sea” start goin on.

Just sayin what happened at my house. No axe to grind and seeds were half price so could have been worse.
 
@hillbill my first run with CV with 3 different strains was flawless. Ordered again and experienced problems with both strains on this round. Like you i am now spooked again on the fem seed market. I am getting a little tired of hearing the trump card ( environment) coming up when there is obviously something else going on. A lot of us that have been growing for multiple years have worked hard to get environments dialed as best as possible.
 
Don't believe the bullshit about it being you/your environment/the nutrients you use/etc..etc.etc. If it hermies it's in the SEED/the genetics. Period. Same with "do this and get more females"...."if you use 24/0 you will get more males"....etc.etc.etc. bullshit some talkers talk. That's all right up there in my book with "if the seeds has a dent on it it's a male" blahblahblah. I've been goin at this thing for 3 decades....and have been growing strictly clones, fems, or S-1's for about 15 of those 30...and never had any real herm issues until the last few years. (or very early on in the 80's/etc. when there was nothing but bagseed to grow...anywhere) Bottom line......folks are simply moving too fast now and testing has gone out the window. I shudder everytime I see a strain descrition that says something like "Should produce nice, frosty nugs of dank perfection". Should? You didn't take the time to find out?

Dunno what is going on with the CVS gear. Time will tell. Seems like most of the reports are on the newer stuff via the website. (?) Until yesterday.....I was fool enough to believe that nobody would purposely breed (and then SELL) shit that hermed....and if they did....they would have enough integrity to say so upfront. (I have seen this...but not enough)

Case in point....I'm running some Dusted Bud "California Cherries" S-1's in my tester tent (still looking for a good cherry strain)... and yesterday found multiple sacks/dried flowers on the undersides of buds on 3 of 4 plants. Granted...I'm 7+ weeks into flower....so they will likely not pollenate themselves....but when I informed the guy that this had happened...he admitted that this strain (also used in his crosses) will hermie late. I mean...at least he IS familar with his strains.....but come the fuck on.....$100 for a pack of "S-1" seeds that you knew had a hermie trait? Fuck my ass. You should never sell such shit/toss shit out there! It just perpetuates crap genetics. There was for sure NO mention of such a trait in the seed sale description....

Pisses me off...but also makes me glad I am taking the time to go through these before leaving everything to chance this summer. If this isn't over-the-top pot...and from the minimal smell coming off em...that's doubtful...these are heading for the trash. Just not worth taking the chance.

There are a couple (OK...so it's more than a couple) more strains I really want that I'm going to go ahead and purchase.....and then I think I'm done and am going to head back into doing some S-1's/etc again myself. Far cheaper...still fun.....and I'll only have myself to blame if things fuck up.

Scratch my best Affie! Nuts all over the place. Got two in early flower left but this is bullshit. May just remove them for peace of mind. So nanners on both Alberts and nuts all over this Affie. I have a 45 day Cookie Wreck frosty to the max and might be all girl. But she is small.

Overall done with my Cannaventure misadventures!

Damn
 
I'm just going to add the prk when I tossed it smelled like spearmint . Reeked like it in my limited experience I've never smelled a pot plant like that before.
 
If rusty is using the same clone only cuts as others then I have no idea why his crosses would be more prone to intersex traits, unless dude is s1'ing popular cuts and then working with s1s and not the cut? Though the reports coming in are too many to ignore or to assume it was all grower error. Not sure what the haps is but I'll continue to run the CV beans I got over time but will stay vigilant.

I've always been in the gambler's mind set with popping seeds and honestly expect all seedlings to under perform my expectations that way I never have my hopes too high when shit hits the fan. Helps with my anger, lol.

I've lost out on a lot of money due to bad crops, bug plagues, strains being subpar, mould, and various other calamities so I try to never have just new seeds as crops I depend on. Also why I flower new seedlings out small and clone them. Too many times I've vegged seeds of a new strain into big plants then flipped them just to find out they were shitty quality phenos or fudging hermies.

Either way it still is a bite in the ass to have healthy ass plants pop balls and dicks and I certainly ain't telling no one to buy any more CV gear till I see better reports coming in.

I'll agree with you that herms come from genetics but sometimes, not always, and definitely not just with CVS gear; a grower can coax them into showing the trait.

I've grown some of these strains other people have had tons of issues with, nothing other than the occasional nanner week 8 or later and my mutant issues are limited to prk. I'm personally very happy with what I've grown from CVS and honestly I'm a very patient man so I'm also good with the customer service I've received.

I'm ready to deal with whatever issues the trainwreck will add to the crosses as that's been the cost of doing business with seeds over the past 5-8 years. Not saying this is the way it should be but I'm not saying I'm gonna go back to growing Dutch stuff either.

Making your own seeds nowadays is almost a necessity to cover your own ass in the future. I'm not sure what's coming but I have a feeling if you're loaded up on self made beans using top notch stuff it could be invaluable in a few years.

Also check out solseeds. Better prices than anyone else on many breeders, I paid $60 for my packs from dusted bud. Bummer to hear about the cherries being dud, I have a couple cherry crosses from them. You do a full pack?

We’ll see what’s up when these lvtk come down. I’ve been peekin lookin for nanners and sacks but my access is limited.

Don’t see any intersex on what I can get to, but you know it’ll be easy af when they’re dry and I’m jarring them to see if there are any.

I dont think I've seen any lvtk throw nanners or sacks. Could be wrong. But idr hearing of any.
 
So far so good still on the Arcata Ghost. I'm just gonna keep checking it every day. They dont look very good due to winter hear. But I got all my heat hooked back up finally. My sonoffs I hacked where giving me trouble. The temp setting would kick the heaters on at lights out. Then when it got to my temp setting. It would shut off my heat and kick on my fans for some reason. So I have to delete them from the router. And reinstall them
Good to go now.

Ghost OG leaner (just assuming by structure)
Need to clean up the lowers still.

What Germination rate are you getting with Cannaventure Ghost OG Seed?
Do Cannaventure reply to emails?
Seeds Per Pack : No less than 5?
$150 AUD / 5 = $30 AUD each seed?
You would want a $30 AUD seed to germinate.



So far I have tried 6x Rare Dankness Rug Burn OG Seeds.
No germination after 12 days, about to plant the rest. Bit Sad

Rare Dankness™ are produced in legal gardens in SPAIN.
Rare Dankness™ will not reply to any emails that ask about germination issues.
I believe Female Seeds, also grown in Spain. Send white Shells.

Be nice to find a company who would stand by product quality and vitality.
Expensive pipe dream

I will try to run more known reliable beans for a while. 3 years ago I started exploring some of the multipolyhybreeds of Chem origin knowing some risk existed. But it seems I tried Cannaventure at the worst of times.

A lot of desirable American strains are based on plants of hermie origins or hybrid of a hybrid crossed with a couple polyhybreed plants and so on. Hermies are much more of a topic on US seed forums than foreign forums. Plus with the added specter of state legalization, Everyone is a Breeder.

Most lines are not developed anymore using hundreds of plants and selectively breeding. Pollen chucking is the norm now among “Breeders”. Get the NEW polysuperhybreed out the door.

I bought fem seeds to deal with a damping off setback as well as being “boy bombed” (another polysuperhybreed thing) on a couple runs. I got one plant I can finish out of 12 from mutants and nanners and early herms and outright males from FEM seeds.
 
@quiescent .....No.....I didn't run an entire pack of the Cali Cherries. Was just testing the waters to see if they were up to snuff to put outside this Summer....and if the "Cherry" was anything more than "Cherry Pie". FWIW....I ran that CP clone for 4 cycles and on the 4th...from clone...it hermed on me. I know it's all over in 'rado's gear and a lot of gear now....but it is what it is. I wasn't overly impressed...."OK" pot.....no cherry in mine...kinda had that "Bubba" thing goin on....almost (not a Bubba fan here)..... but it did/does have an incensy smell to the smoke you can not forget/mistake when you walk back in the room. Have always been surprised it gained such favor...but hey.....a lot of stuff out there is that way for my money.

The Cali cherries is the first "fem" that truly hermed on me...bad.....in over 15 years.....and fems or S-1's are all I run. I had 45 plants 5 ft tall year before last..outside....no herms...all fems (mine and Cannarado's). Last year I did 22....all fems....half CVS...half 'rado....and again.....no visible fems. (though I have found an errant seed here/there....this is in pounds of weed. I keep those!)

I hear ya bill...and you are right...hermies are more prone here in the US....mostly because...for better or worse...folks got burned (literally) buying all those weak Dutch strains for all those years. No, it doesn't hermie (OK...they will...but for arguments sake...)....but nobody here wants Big Bud or Barney's Farm >anything<. We made the trip over to smoke our heads off and ended up smoking hash all week cus the weed was so damn horrible overall. Probably not a good representation of the pot there (you and others may have)....kinda like here and the dispensaries.....but even so.....what they were calling "thai" and "kush" and other stuff wouldn't have garnered a cent here stateside. Looked like the old Mexischwag we got in the 70's....and it was in every shop...sold as some "exotic" sativa....

And I hear ya on the "boy bomb" thing. The last M/F seeds I ran were alien's gear. 6 full packs...all over the board on his strains he hyped at the Farm...Alien Rock candy...Alien Afterburner..alien dogshit...Alien Hay... Out of 60 seeds I got 8 females....and none of them were for shit. total crap. 4 months wasted time.....garden completely knocked out of service... and that was it for regular seeds for me. I've never looked back. I was told I didn't follow his "feed schedule"...and thus....the high ratio of males/blahblahlbah. Yeah...right. However..in the end I was more pissed at myself fot climbing on the hype train than anyone else...and some folks here are guily of that as well. It is what it is though. If you can't afford to play....you shouldn't...whatever the reason/whatever shit happens.....

But it >is< getting deluded out there badly. This drop is evidence of that. The same stuff all wrapped together/crossed together...and back on each other...and on and on. Still good stuff...but how ;long will it be before the bottom drops out? How many times can you cross this plant? I guess folks are gonna find out...huh?
 
There are powerful strains all over the world and even transplanted American breeders but I will continue to use both select US and certain foreign breeders but it does seem like more than one breeder is having QC issues as of late. Never expected higher male ratio with poly hybreeds but it is undeniable. I’ve run whole packs without a female or 10 to 20 percent.

Plant more seeds, a lot more!

Despite getting some herms, all of the seeds that I have germed have popped.

I also dont believe the 'environment' response. I had a few different CV strains and some threw balls and others didnt. My LVTK are great, the ghosts a very low yielder but looks great. The animals all balled out on me and were in the same room, in ROLS getting fed organic tea like all the others.
