DNA Genetics vs. TH Seeds

Can you really pheno hunt in a 3x2 though? I would love to do things "properly" but I'm worried about space

When growing from seed its always hit or miss to some extent. The most stable genetics will be F2s or F4s typically. DC Seed Exchange, Great Lake Genetics and JBC Seeds all have a good selection of very reasonably priced options that I personally would run over either DNA or TH Seeds any day. Typically I'd also suggest GLO but he announced he's taking a break for personal reasons and there's a bunch of people with orders that didn't ship so I'd probably avoid that at the moment.

Are you looking at fems or regs?

Can you give any examples of the breeders they have that you'd prefer?

Both the DNA and the TH I have in shopping carts are feminized. I'm not completely opposed to regs but it doesn't seem worth it with less than 6 sq ft to work in

Regs definitely are a bit more of a time investment when you have limited space. There's some ways to expedite the process but I definitely don't blame you for wanting to stick to fems for now.

For what your looking for I'd highly recommend 3thirteen Seeds. They're sold out at DCSE right now but GLG has a few packs left. The Blue on Black is going to be a mostly indica hybrid with that heritage. Just ordered a pack myself and am really excited to run it. Monkey Juice is more of a balanced hybrid but it's not racy at all. I've grown it before and it can really put out some serious yields of super gassy buds. I've also had good results with Katsu, Twenty20 and Mosca. Only draw back to GLG is they don't take credit cards so you have to mail a money order or cash. It's not a big deal though, I've done it a ton of times. Just mail with tracking and you'll be good.

DCSE has more payment options. For them I'd probably suggest StrayFox Circle of Blessings. Marshmallow Hashplant would be a good indica option from them, but they have a bunch to choose from. They also carry everyone I mentioned above.

JBC carries a lot of similar stuff to DCSE honestly and I'm not sure I'd recommend them over DCSE for fems. I mostly use them for AK Bean Brains but he's all regs.

Usually I'd recommend Useful Seeds for fems but he's sold out everywhere. There's one cross left at JBC but it's definitely not an indica!

Couple other options for very reasonably priced, amazing feminized genetics are DinoParty Chucks and Eso's Seeds (run by this guy @thenotsoesoteric) who both have their own sites where you can buy direct from them. If your interested in going that route let me know if need the links and I'll DM you. I can't remember if we're allowed to post links here.

Has anyone grown critical hog or any of the mk ultra strains from th seeds?

I was looking at og #18 from DNA bc I love og hybrids and the description says it's a much better yielder than classic og

I did the MK Ultra probably around 2009 or so. Only did one run on it and passed the cut along. It had a good earthy kinda coffee flavor to it, it honestly reminded me of a watered down Bubba (I don't mean that in a bad way either, just not as pronounced of a flavor as Bubba). I only cracked 2 beans tho and if I remember correctly one died off before it vegged.

did it yield decently?

Ran SAGE in my last grow. Solid plants.

The hog is nice, the bubblegum they offer is good too. I've heard nice things about the dark star(keeper pheno) and MK-ultra. I've grown their freebies when they gave some out years back, "sage and sour" was the nicest of the lot.

I just finished growing their Melonsicle and Orangesicle. Both were good but the purple melon smelling pheno of Melonsicle is awesome.

What a blast from the past.
I grew out Hog, MK-Ultra, and SAGE. They were all nice, especially the MK.
DNA is OK too. They've definitely put out some winners but you might have to do a good size hunt to find keepers. Or, you could get lucky.
I say get both or better yet, check out GLG or GLO and grab some Cannarado, Bodhi, or Clearwater. You'll find something in those.

I honestly don't remember. And that grow was so janky looking back on it lol. I definitely learned a lot of what not to do back then. I didn't even have hygrometers or fans for air circulation. I was running two 1000w hps and a 250w MH in a 10x6 room. Temps got wayyy out of hand. I never did have very successful harvests back then and anything I did get went to making Oil.

I've had good results with both, right now I have th seeds bubblegum that is a banger but some of the best smoke I've had was dna (LA Woman) but ive hade some bunk from DNA as well (lemon skunk). With that said its the same with all breeders so go with what interest you and have fun. Good luck.

Thanks for the responses everyone. Lots of helpful advice!

DNA. Any of there strains that are either lemon skunk or derived from it. My personal fave is the GYO Florida Lemons. I've grown it about 5 times now. Always the same uplifting high. Smells and tastes good too.

lol I guess this is why pheno hunting is so important

I got 2 lemon skunks going now and they're mids. Not impressed so far

Any advice on pheno hunting when space is extremely limited? Should I just cull the grunts and keep the fastest growers until only one fits?

I've grown a bunch of t.h.seeds strains. Top quality stuff imo..Mk-Ultra is a good one the mk x bubblegum is even better. It's my profile picture at the moment
