If you go on the elev8 website every item you order is 30% off right now and they just release some new stuff that looks very killer
I ordered a pack of 12 reg tangerine cookies seeds from elev8. Started with 4 seeds and all germinated within 24 hrs using wet paper towel method. Planted these in Promix HP in solo cups 24-36 hrs later they all popped. Photo is all 4 at 16 days from popping out of the soil. All looking strong and growing very fast. Appears to be decent genetics so far just waiting til they are big enough to clone and will sex the clones looking for that strong female. Will update as the grow progresses.

I helped grow some Banner OG at a commercial facility last year. It had good terps and decent yields, but was a nightmare to grow commercially. Stretched like crazy and was very prone to botrytis and pm. That's my only experience with elev8, willing to try something else of theirs out

Amen I dont know these guys not afiliated with them what so ever the price of the seeds may seem a bit pricey
but take my word for it Elev8 seeds well lets say I second the motion these guys are the real deal i been growing for over 30ys and its best i have seen they made the top 10 strains of 2018 list on hightimes magazine.. the boys are legit and you know for small seed start up like these guys in a super competitive market to get one of there stains in top 10 stains of the year in hightimes these guys got some great not good but i am saying great genetics..its all up to what lights you have & grower talent and what quality you start with.. and 30+ yrs of growing the Gorrilla glue and the Gorilla cookies both strains had insane resin.. and i found these guys before they made the high times award so i already had a head start I bread a cuveted sour deisel I had with the Elev8 gorilla cookies to make sour gorilla cookies SGC tested at my local hydro store @ 27.8% THC they are legit 
Hey Silentbob how did your blackberry dream turn out i have 4 plants a cpl weeks old of this strain is it as good as what i been reading ?
There customer service is second to none, as good as Greenpoint Seeds even. I only received 4 seeds instead of 6 and they sent me another full pack of 6 Starfighter Punch Seeds on the house. If you are still using the paper towel method then you need some more grow experience guys. A glass of water will give you 90% plus germ rate. You can't blame seed breeder for incompetence.

Hey man, saw your pics, they look great... I am happy to hear that you disagree with the haters, but I haven't really formed an opinion, more that there is so little info, and I bought a bunch, because of the accolades I heard.. Last thing I want is it to be true.. If elev8 is as legit as a thug pug, jungle boys.. That level of stability and quality, I was hoping that's the kind of genetics we're talking.. So tell me more.. You've grown their gear for a few years? And all is good, great? Why do you think this question of validity was ever raised? Im glad you posted the pics.. If you have any advice or suggestions for their gear, love to hear.. I have not seen someone who has had much to say, just nonsense.. Thanks

Yes exactly, I only use paper towel, then into rapid rooter.. I never have had a seed not pop and successfully become a seedling till I tried, lazily, putting a small tap root seed in medium, and I think I suffocated it, punch cake from them, but I fucked up.. Not doing what works best for me.. I heard an alarming number and realized their are too many new growers fuckin up, elev8 couldn't be a multimillion dollar company if their seeds weren't viable. I didn't realize how easy it is to orient seed wrong, wet too much, and rot the seed for doing so.. Keep in paper too long, then it's growing through it, that can be tricky, but again, grower errors, and just be careful about removing the towel around taproot. They popped in 36hrs,there highly viable..

Wait, I'm just trying to figure out if their genetics are shit or good.. Are you saying they are a scam of sorts? Legitimate question, not trolling.. Have you ever tried them and grown to completion? If so, opinion?

Also a concern, as that is what I have heard. How is the internet devoid of any real news on them.. Like Joe Rogan has shit scrubbed, it is like someone wipes off negative shit as it's posted.. Or any shit.. I'm more confused than when I started. Dude wo posted all the plants, could be any genetic.. AND you suggesting what is crossing my mind too keeps me from wanting to go beyond the solo cup, wait and grow tried and true shit.. Too much drama around this company. Either people love you, thug pug again, and you can get 5k for a pack of unicorn poop, I don't hear people auctioning off elev8 past shit, like 2 scoops, or any strain, ever.. You want real runtz, 400,and you better know your seed bank, cause there's great knockoff packaging. I don't want subpar runtz my first impression, and elev8 eludes to using the real phenom.. I question this, because it's carefully danced around, and someone is a great marketing writer for describing strains.
The real fire out there, does not have that hoopla behind it.. Hence some confusion, but it's no different than adv nutes.. Synthetic shit is all pretty much the same, and they would have u believe their products are game changing.. No, they just marketed the best, kind led.. Garbage in my opinion, same.. Marketing makes it sound good.. Doesn't mean cause it's more expensive than an hlg, it competes.. Im just frustrated with the lack of answers out there. I have heard 2things about customer service. One person, great, best ever, another's is they suck. They did not answer my question about a strain, so I got no response. When I can get the owner of nectar to answer questions about their line, happily.. This does not help their case.. Fuck I'm talking myself out of bothering

I have a Runtz of Eden plant about to finish, heavy leaning towards the forbidden fruit side. But this plant is phenomenal frost, node spacing and vigor. I have a cherry cake in veg, that is looking awesome. Going to pop a couple Edens apples soon. I hope they come out with some gassy strains, soon.

I'm afraid I agree and disagree. Bad form? Fuck no, there is too much lack of info, any growers w a handle on dwc, in my opinion, easiest way to get a plant in veg looking pretty, however when the final product is not being shown and talked and raved about says alot. I fell for the articulation skills of the marketing, and all of the pretty pics of, I seriously doubt there theirs, or like you said, a good grower grew shit genetics, nice and pretty.. But it will never improve upon the quality of the weed. Genetics, genetics, genetics.. Would you be able to sell a pack of any of theirs for 5k? Or 500?fuck no.. Now I got a runtz, tangie cookie, sherbet Punch in seedlings next to lawless the vanishing.. Devise driver/runtz and Clearwater runtz cross bullpup.. They are already noticeably more robust. I don't even want to bias my opinion of a strain w sub par shit.. I don't know it for a fact, but I wish I had seen the drama before I ever heard of elev8, rather than find out after dropping over a grand on what pretty steadily is being ripped apart by the community and waist any more money on growing this out. If you had a multi million dollar company, you would defend your work, if it was defendable. But when there's like one Pic ever of the kid, and a scrubbed internet, maybe I'll waist a 3gal for 3,just to answer the question for my self.. But when you got 8 different jungle boys, and a rather impressive score of thug pug here, as well as so much more known names, of stabile, superior genetics.. No matter how pretty a plant is, it doesn't equal quality. There are so many people who write reviews about my dispensary, and it occurred.. If you didn't grow, and just got what you came across.. You can't know what good is, so the miracle grown weed is fire to too many people. Black ash, just really meh, to shit. This is generally not where you find the talent, of course some crush it, but if you are, a past synthetic garbage grower, after coinneseur grade cannabis, 1st is genetics, next, try organic done well, and cured correctly slow, cool, 60 rh.. Get all that, and smoke that next to an elev8.. I'm guessing the company w the youngest dude, and most strains are not going to be able to hold a candle to either of those two breeders I mentioned.

Ever have difficulty popping beans b4? Or is it strictly elev8? I have only popped 4,all four popped, but looking at those pics, yup, it's a nice looking plant w cute popcorn buds, unfortunately it looks it's very best there, not the fade, not the size or vigor.. Damn it.. I hope you have a small weak light, that would help, but if you got that under real light, they, elev8 are shit.. Thanks, you just made my decision for meand I don't mean your skills, I am talking about what I see.. It's not impressive, for top dollar feminized garbage.

Lol saying they both have “second to none” customer service and yet also receiving a pack that’s only 2/3s full seems like sort of an oxymoron to me man.

Get out, holy shit! Ag seed has original haze and Neville cross.. I recommend anyone interested in some history of landrace, and the state of homogenous crap that guys like that, w Mel frank are bringing back shit many of you are too young to have ever seen.. Skunk1, the real, better get 3 filters for.. I haven't smelled that since the 90s. If I had a knack for breeding, I would get my landrace from them. Aug, nl5, sep 100 percent purest indica.. Idk, a few more to come, along with a decent selection now. Mel has gdp on there, just the original grand daddy purple.. He also made a 1to1 15%thc/cbd indica leaning, or sativa leaning.. That sounds promising.. But I still got to Pic which one I like best.. A legit, stable strain, like unicorn poop, throw a hundred down, and they will all be damn near the same plant. That takes time, and years, and dammit elev8 is not that. Elev8 is the advanced nutrients of seeds
. They are expert marketers, and got very rich selling very ordinary shit.. I'm just salty I fell for it.

Agreed whole heartedly, and there are masters out there.. Thug pug is still selling on his own site for 100,yet all the seed banks mark up to 200 and higher. For his most popular, like I mentioned before, people auction it for 5k,and there are several breeders whose gear will command that, because it is actual fire.. If I had a commercial grow, it would mean nothing to pay that, if it is a menu staple. How about prices for cuts? Cat piss, 3k a clone.. Empire breeding.. They have some insane priced clones.. But no elev8 clones. If genetics and the breeder weren't everything, people wouldn't take the real Runtz, make excellent fake packaging and run with it, thug pug was being just made from the seeds a kid bought, and made a pretty penny b4 thug pug was made aware, and stopped that.. But you can't take shit seeds and make more, sell them, and expect anyone to want more.. These were that good, he could and did. Cutthroat business now, I got my best genetics from forum members of overgrow, unleash the green and usually people wanted to share, and trade.. Those days are over, but at least their are breeders that is virtually guaranteed to be absolutely fantastic. Just have to spend time learning who.. As the scams and get rich quick people are everywhere in this industry

I can't give a good review on exotic genetics, I bought purple Lamborghini at the high time cup Michigan.. I had difficulty with the strain, it didn't make i
Yup, if the seed bank is a conglomerate overseas, you can bet you'll get shit, u might be lucky, in a literal lifetime of trying.. The laws have flip-flopped.. This is where the talent is, that is where you get alibaba seeds.. Not to each his own.. But if you know this, and have spent thousands over the years and seen some actual fire, and what you probably will get from a nirvana, or similar.. I wish someone drilled it into my head.. Genetics, genetics, and genetics.. Without, u have shit. It really is just that simple.

Exotic the company? Or what do you mean by exotic? Landrace? Or Hybrids, like elev8, just not elev8? Neptune seed bank, empire seeds have some decent breeders making a name.. Lorax 315,still priced well, lots of nice affordable choices for all the breeders on empire.. Married w children, primal punch by mg1.. Both of them were nice, There inching up in price as people see and try the results. Neptune is far from the only bank, but has a large list of reputable and stellar breeders. Look who a breeder you admire is following, I have waisted lots, but I feel like my best finds were found when someone well respected mentions a ge netic company inadvertently or on purpose and then you start to see some of the greats from the wannabes or opportunists.
Yes brother, the fuckin m2, that's the 1st well articulated description that made me lose all judgement, and ignore my experiences of fuckery and just accept them for the incredible breeders they so wonderfully wrote.. Still have em, haven't had 14 weeks to get pissed in the end. I split that pack w a friend.. I'll let him grow it. I think this would be wishful thinking on our part to think that's a big winner, but maybe
