Seems like one of Dominion breeders might’ve gone off the deep end. They’ve always been flat earth Trumpers but this guy goes above and beyond. From telling everyone that Jesus is coming back soon to saying the government is injecting everyone with HIV. This guy also appears to be the main breeder and Duke is just the face/spokesman. Makes sense if you read some of the comments on his actual plant posts. https://instagram.com/patri0tfarmer?utm_medium=copy_link
There are a lot of questionable folks in the weed game in general. It's always been that way though so weed is one of the things you gotta be able to compartmentalize about in my opinion. Separate the person from the genetics/bud/service. Around my parts 90% of the organic farmers have drank the Kool aid but we just talk about the weather when I pick up my stuff. I understand we all have different lines though about where we choose to spend our money but my unpopular take is if you're on the fence about getting a pack of DS don't let the fools conspiracy stuff (I won't even dignify this stuff by calling it political. I've got conservative friends/family) stop you. You're buying the genetics not the breeder and if you choose to take your business elsewhere just know there are a lot of these guys who slang these seeds who agree with this kook but just keep a "cleaner" online presence.

I completely agree,there are people who intensely argue or defend or trash some breeders on RIU,some people buy single seeds and bitch like a MF,I got into it w/people last yr. when I mentioned I run a certain breeder's gear,and got a ton of flack. My response was the seed market is the wild west,I do a large outdoor ev. season and have grown more than 30 yrs.I grow about 20 strains ev. season.A number of times the seeds I got sucked and I just say lesson learned and luckily I do enough strains where success is guaranteed. When a strain is a bust I don't get crazy because I know this business is what it is and that is a unregulated,new market.Some people defend breeders and their "hard work" like groupies and have no idea who these people are,I say relax and be happy you don't have to use bag weed seeds and can get all these strains that are availlable without worrying about cops.When a pack of seeds sucks it's not like you bought sunflower seeds from Burpee. You know in a young market there will be beat artists and pollen chuckers everywhere

I was just pointing out the craziness because I thought it was hilarious. I’ll still buy their stuff but I do think the HIV, Jesus coming back, and the pro Putin stuff is quite funny. If I shopped by my beliefs, I’d be walking around starving and naked.

I'll definitely ask. That did come to mind - I think the dude that ripped off Duke was giving testers of new gear (x's using many of Duke's clones) to headiegardens to give out w/ orders.
I asked duke about the testers Shoe gave me and he said all the “testers “ where actually previous projects he had worked on, but wasn’t happy with the results ( too much herms ) so didn’t want to release them. I don’t thing Shoe will be selling any more of Dukes gear after he sells out of his current stock. I think shoe is just selling them so cheep to get rid of everything as fast as possible.

There was a period 4-5 years ago my mom was like "no more X, they support...." "No more Y, they support..." Like damn old woman you can't just eat happy garden lettuce for the rest of your life.

Definitely some grade A kook shit but I'm telling you I could list off 5 more popular breeders who are either flat earthers, anti vax, Jan 6 supporters or a mix. They just cleaned up their socials but trust me if you could see their old posts it's on the same level as this stuff

I guess I'll just have to wait for the next legit Duke gear drop since these "testers" didn't go how Duke planned. Still gonna grow them out (I'm still certain the Chem D in the tester is a legit Chem D cut).

Oh I know lol! I’ve seen the posts. Cap, inhouse, etc. Like I said it has no effect on wether I’ll do business with them or not. It’s more amusing I guess than anything.

I said no more beans but maybe I can get a pack of them jb chem x 91 bx that’s up my alley for sure I had 5 packs in my cart from the headie sale but somehow I made it off the site without spending a dollar ..

You guys made a great point about supporting people but separating the person from the product

It’s easier said than done tho and I’m not gonna be unfair and say Bc we don’t share the same thought process I won’t support you but there’s lines I’m not crossing ..there’s some ideology that implies some people are inferior idc how fire ya shit is I can’t get behind that although they never come out and say it

Some of those ideologies go hand in hand with the inferiority I mentioned so your stance kinda tells who u are before u actually do

Just give me the seeds man,if these people get sucked into their customized conspiracy news feeds they are beyond rehab,it's a roundabout advertisement for their gear if they're smoking it,as you have to STONED to believe all these far fetched child sex ring,Qanaon BS theories,etc the darkside of Social Media IMO,I only have one toe in the bathtub of the digital world and am happy for it.

The entire seed game drama is hilarious. Never have I seen, read, listened to so much neck beard b.s. over a fucking plant. I'll give the seed guys one thing they are damn near experts at telling stories. The podcasts, figuring out who hates who, which person has which original plant has kept me well entertained during the pandemic. Any of these dudes would make a fantastic reality TV show on Discovery +. Bottom line if your gear is good I will buy it. I'm sure there are Qanon, nazi idiots that work at Frito Lays. Doesn't mean I'm gonna stop buying Doritos.

Just like all the keyboard warriors taking non stop shit about seed company's gear if they have even one problem when the only grow out the strain once from seed, then say all that company's gear is garbage.
I have run into many people over the years that will say "oh don't go with that company their gear is shit, i had nothing but problems"
Come to find out when you see their setup and growing environment it's no wonder why the run was shitty or they had a lot of trouble with intersex traits.
Light leaks, poor ventilation, really high or really low temps or really vast swings between the two, humidity etc

EXACTLY,in a semi-unregulated market,w/swimming sharks,pollen chuckers,etc,the ability to track down the history of cuts,origins of strains,etc.is all speculation and lacks reliable documentation and getting fired up over shit like this is a headache.

This has to the dumbest take on anything I’ve ever seen before. The Instagram account I linked is the OWNER/HEAD BREEDER not just some employee. It’s cool if you don’t have any morals but at least think before you post.

I don't know what Duke calls it at his site. I grew out the Headband x Skunk #1 I do believe he made for Grimm. I still have clones of it going. You can really see and smell the Headband in it. It is also plenty strong. As good as it is, it is just stony weed. To bad it does not have the Headband high.
