as for the title of this tread- Exotic and Greenpoint, lets see what happens when I pop these Starfighter x Stardawg's as they are a combination of the two companies.

So I have to ask this also- I wonder if Greenpoint asked Karma or 303 if he could use their male since we all know that he didnt ask JJ NYC.

Thanks. I hadn't had my morning coffee and bong when I posted that, so it was a little more hostile than it needed to be. While I have several issues with Greenpoint, the biggest is that Gu himself acquired a great deal of his females and the Monster Cookies male for free via testing for other breeders. To turn around and charge people for 'testing' or to charge people for untested F1 gear made with those test strains is not what I would consider scrupulous business practices.

I agree with you. Had I known all this, I wouldn't have made the purchase.

Depending on what I'm smoking, I've been known to get caught up in the latest hype once or thrice.

The indirect approach, eh? Those 'friends' will know how you really feel about them in 3 - 4 months. :clap:

Man- I am looking at this in a new light and IDK what to think now. Yes Gu did get a bunch of those females to knock up from testing others "free" genetics and I bet if he had told them that he was gonna start up a new company with their genetics they woulda passed on sending him all those free beans. Like you said COGrown- how do we even know what a Monster Cookie female looks like and why it would be the best daddy (bc 303 seeds is hard to come by is not the answer I wanna hear).

I can say that my GG4xMC looks nothing like my Loctite which has strong genetics behind its daddy and is growing strong and lush. I will post pics as they flower but the Loctite (GG4 x Mr Rainer) is way better looking structurally, is a faster vegger and has huge fan leaves. I only got 2 females outta a full pack with 100% germ on Greenpoints GG4 x MC compared to 6 females of Loctite that all popped also so you may be onto something with your post and theory which talked about being mostly male prodigy. Why wouldnt Greenpoint choose something with less hermy traits as his male in his first cross which introduces him into this game we call making beans? I still have 2 more packs of his MC x's that I am in no hurry to pop as I am a lil nervous about what I already have growing. As I said- the GG4xMC are just a couple days into 1, 2/12 and will post what happens. If they herm bad- they get the axe and the other 2 packs will be given away to friends I dont really care for.

I got locktite on the way should be here today please posts sum pics of her in flower thanks a bunch, and wow I didn't know gu was doing all these terrible things I would never and I mean never take another breeders testers and make seeds that's just wrong, but for the stardawg thing yeah he should have asked cause most likely jj would have said yeah, theres is a big lack in flowering pics from people I can only find a few here and there next time I will research better

I don't care much for drama and ownerships and all that bullshit. Whatever happened to freeing the plant? But I do care about good vibes and karma.... and good cannabis.

All I can say is I hope I have positive experiences to share in the coming months. My 6 Bubba x MC babies are still <2 weeks old.

A man's got to make a living. I have no problems with any of these cats that are making good smoke getting paid for their work.

But ripping off a compadre who's done you a solid is another matter, as you note.

In all fairness regarding Gu, he apparently was an EXCELLENT tester for other breeders and perhaps he developed relationships with most that allowed for him to continue breeding projects in exchange for his exceptional testing feedback...Still a little leery on popping the beans until I see positive results..

I understand that the MC crosses are herming, but here's my thing. These are testers, GU is seeing that the MC make wasnt the best to use. It's not his fault people bought them. Here's somethig else to consider. All of these herm reports but they are able to pluck them off and there isn't viable pollen in any of them, at least from what I have seen, and experienced personally with the RugBurn cross. This to me means that you would be silly to pass on some fire like this

Testers and buying shouldn't be in the same sentence. You buy verified genetics.

Seems like a money grab pure and simple. Low prices, check. Questionable ethics, check. Selling gear that's not tested, check.

Props on him for pulling a fast one. I hope people do get something they want and not a crop full of undesired beans.

People would see what his beans are doing,if they would just look...
People cry about high price seeds,people cry about how long it takes to test seeds,people cry about any and everything......if people seen how shit really went down,they would not even want jj beans....

This post is not directed at anyone person...

Does anyone remember the first jj drop?....talk about a money grab!!!

I have payed for a pack of untested seeds,from bodhi...for the heads that can't wait...

Who wants to send money to canna collective? For some top dawg seeds?

Even tested seeds suck sometimes.....

I got no skin in this game. Just from what I was reading over at icmag.

At least Bodhi says they are untested if he sells them and I can really only think of a couple that were crossed with the snow lotus male.

I've never seen jj beans listed anywhere really, and if he honestly was threatening people that's some weak sauce right there.

I agree that even tested beans can suck. I think anyone who's grown long enough has experienced that.

Nonetheless I can still see it as a great scam. I've found the back and forth of it interesting.

Well you have never been on SeedBay then, they have an entire category for untested stuff, all similarly priced to GUs stuff. Yeah that JJ dude called everyone who bought or tested for GreenPoint an ASSCLOWN on ICMag. Talk about a douche, I would never give that man any money after the audacity to say such a thing on a public forum.

all of green point testers are people with little to no experience. They wont give seeds to any experienced growers. I get their news letter email like every other day pushing untested seeds. They're cheap. I still wont go with them.

me n my buddy picked up a bunch of redeyed genetics and exotic genetic too. On ig and here very few people are having good grows with green point.

I just popped mint chocolate chip, dark side of the moon and mt. rainier. My buddy popped Adonis, kobain kush, and locktite. I kind of wanted their glue trap. They were sold out at the cup. We will be trading cuts eventually. I have so many seeds I just got and will take forever to go through. I still have a couple of packs from last year I haven't touched too.

Yea I saw that post. Silly insult, and obviously not the best at keeping the high road. I found it funny though how many felt so hurt by that comment. Certainly doesn't make me want to support him. I also wouldn't pay to be a guinea pig.

That post was not to rag on bodhi at all....hell I want that cowbell,but with his standards,which I like...that one will not see the light of day.
But if it did I'd be all over it..

what gu did,was give the market(consumers) us,what we have made it to be....
Fast,fast,fastest...new,new,newest.

But out of all the MC crosses gu did,the only one I had interest in was yeti x MC(genetic match)

The rest was a toss up..
I don't know who paid to test seeds?

He sent out test seeds,and if that person wanted to buy more,then that person could have..then a short time later,he put them up for sale....it's all in the forums.

The first part of this post is very lame,and not true....sounds more like you got upset about not being picked to test seeds,which is really not a big deal....it's just seeds.

The whole "tester" thing,is what gu capitalizes on......

that was just a very wide statement by you hyroot..
