CSI humboldt thread

[JewelRunner]

Never had a herm issue with csi, also herm issues cant just be blamed on a breeder or fem seed. Do your homework and know the genetics and how they breed. Honestly not to be rude but if your a new grower with no experience I'd try something else.

I just ran a pack of his sour D x Cali O and there were no herm issues. Don't know if any of them are going to make the cut, but that's seed hunting. The 91 S1's were pretty unstable for me... like every pheno. The mud dog also threw some bananas and there were a few Ghost og x chem 91 that threw a couple but that was a much more stable pack. Still have one of those phenos around, found some nice OG expressions in that pack. Grow out a pack of chem dog selfed and let me know if you still dont get any herms

Its chem genetics. If I didn't expect a herm i would be stupid. I legit run a plant that throws a nanner everttime week 8 but it's so dank ill continue to run it regardless.

Sorry if that came off rude. I didn't mean for it to be. I just know what to expect of certain genetics is all. I know nanners are not ideal but somtimes they hold really nice plants if its not a full blown herm

 

[dr.panda]

I havent had an issue cause i havent ran chem 91 hybrids. It's all been t1000 or urkle

No worries man. I think if you hunt enough of anything you can find something nice if the genetic background is solid. My experience is the chem 91 s1's hermed, and the chem 91 reversed onto other chem(and OG to a lesser extent) also had some instability, although the progeny was much more promising. I grew out 15 plants with the chem 91 as the reversal dad. IMO, with admittedly limited experience in the gene pool, my opinion is that 91 doesn't reverse or at least self well.

I'm so stoked on his TK crosses. got a grip!

 

[skuba]

I grew seven chem 91 x urkle outdoors and had zero herms. Maybe because it was outdoor, or because chem 91 wasn’t the pollen donor

The 25% off black friday deal is awesome! They just restocked a lot of good ones but they are flying off the shelf.

Fair enough from your experience. I found that the momma matters with the chem 91 crosses. The bulk pack I received for free was gator bait. I was inquiring about Bully Sticks so they tried to get as close as possible. I've grown gator bait (3 seeds) and definitely liked the bully sticks (3 seeds) better. Big bad wolf (3 seeds) was also good, but the og crosses definitely have better terps for the most part imo from my limited experience. I'm excited to try some 91xs with different mommas to get even more experience. Cousin stanky and purple dogbud specifically. Chem can hit hard AF without og though. Mud dog and big bad wolf were favorites of people I know. They all said it was knockdown potency.

I've got about 4-6 grows I think so far, just never spent so much on 7 seeds or done fems. I've done a couple dr atomic strains and a couple joey weed strains and bag seed all regulars. And from my research it seemed all fems can have a tendency to herm and you just have to weed through them but some herm more than others dependending on breeder. But I really wanted to try some purple urkle and old family purple as a local dispensary had old family purple concentrate I tried and the flavor and high was really nice so this was some of my research wanting to know this breeders avg herm rate from growers that have tried it before. And avg rate of getting a fem worth keeping from clone. Doesn't have to be some elite cut for me. Was thinking of getting the mendocino purple urkle 3.5 and one of the old family purple crosses but not sure what one yet.

Those Chem D S1'S are guaranteed to have a number of Herms and the F1 reg seeds of Pakistani Chitral Kush crosses need to be watched hard.

How do you know that about the D's?

Chem D herm all on its own, i can only imagine an S1

 

[JoeBlow5823]

Way more stable im sure.

 

[JoeBlow5823]

u would think they would do a D x 91.

 

[Bakersfield]

How do you know that about the D's?

I grew out a few freebie packs of
Bubba Kush x Chem D S1's that CSI Humboldt had released about 3 years ago.
He told me he found some amazing gems in the Chem D S1's, but most were unstable to the point of not releasing them for sale.
I suppose people are braver today to mess with them and now he's released them.

He did with Big Bad Wolf.

Interesting. Ive got a pack. Ill give it a go in the small tent but thanks for the heads up. Not worth filling 1/4 of a 5x5 with something that might hermie like a motherfucker.

I have upwards of 100 successful crops over the years. Fem, regular, auto. There is NO more propensity for hermaphrodites in Fem than Regular seeds. I'm beyond sick of hearing that bullshit. It's not the breeder necessarily either. Unless that breeder chose herm prone genetics or used Rodelization to make his feminized seeds. Honestly, it's almost entirely genetics. As many in this thread have stated, chem has a genetic predisposition for intersex traits. Unsurprisingly, so do her offspring. I would stay away from specific "lines" if you want to avoid intersex/herm issues. Honestly though it's no sure thing!!! Here's a little anecdotal evidence. My last crop was almost 30 strains. The only plant that was hella hermaphroditic was a regular garden isle og from thenaturefarm. His Bermuda Kush was super stable though. Same room. Same father plants. Sorry if that seems a bit opinionated and I don't mean to disparage a guy with 4-6 grows. If you keep growing, you'll keep learning.

Thanks, I don't mind opinionated, I don't have 100 grows of experience, that's why I'm asking and mentioned the strains I was looking at hoping someone might chime in with experience with them as well. Didn't mean to help spread misinformation with my wording. Just wanted to try some nice csi urkle and old family purple without dropping too much cash and picking the wrong strains.
