He does make sure that people know these were the parents.
Its also known that the Sk18 drop of 140 or so packs sold out in 3-4 hours. As did a few other strains.
MANY of the photos posted on his website are from OTHER PEOPLE GROWING HIS GEAR, AND REPORTING ON IT. Of course not the newest stuff, but theres all kinds of people showing the outsome of his last drops, and stuff hes had for sale for awhile.
Also these a million photos of other people growing plants from the first drop, and NOBODY was unhappy. We really like ours, and threw away several other mothers we had been running for over 5 years because this was simply better weed. This didn't grow quite as fast, and the yield was less, by not a lot as the SSH is more Sativa, and stretches a lot more than most. We got 24oz a plant with the SSH under 1000w Hortilux HPS, and 20 Gallons Promix BX, and 50 days veg under 1000w.
We have been running Mr Nice SSH F2 which we went through over 200 females, and the 4 TNF crosses we grew were all better than this plant, and this was a good plant.
It also knocked out Swami Blue Orca Haze out of the room....Nature farm also uses some of Swamis genes, and are also friends, and I also trust, and recommend Swami gear.
Nature Farm has also started doing Genetic Testing, and has posted a pic of the outcome, and you can see it in the Phylos Encyclopedia..and Instagram. Also has a Terpene Profile Test Result on Instagram.

Isopulegol is also usually not found and when it is usually in Trace Amounts.
So he also isn't afraid to put his stuff to genetic testing, but its slow because its expensive, and he aint rich.
If you didn't know those are the parents, you didnt read very carefully.My buddies have grown out the last drop 4 other strains he got, and all of them are very potent, and vigorous.
He also gave the Romulan Cut, 90s Black Domina, and several other cuts for his NL1 pairings, and Ive also grown them out. to Bob Hemphill/Coastal Seeds/EQgenetics.
Other Reputable Breeders are also working with him working , and are using his genetics, and hes using theirs... I don't think Bob Hemphill would mess with hi if he thought he was/is a dishonest pollen chucker.
Doesn't make a crap to me if anyone buys them or not.
I just know out of the strains.... ( 60 females ) weve grown, every plant was vigorous, and a good yield, and was hard to pick a mother as several had favorable characteristics, and we have only so much room... We grew the 1st drop of the Sk18, Dumpster x Sk18, Skunk Redux...89 NL5 x Sk18.
Were also growing the
Dominion Granny Skunk, Dominion Skunk, and just started 2 packs of Local Skunk from Duke Diamond VA/Dominion Seed Company.
Other buddy is growing the Coastal Black Domina, which Hemphill got this cut from Nature Farm for his NL1 Program.. And he says theyre beautiful.
But its makes no crap to me if you want them or not. All I know is weve grown out some of the last drop, and it replaced a few good strains...We look to do the same with the Dominion gear...Well probably just end up growing Dominion, Coastal, and Nature farm gear.
Also he got most all of his genetics from his father and his friends, who started collecting genetics in the 1970s...But it makes no crap to me if anyone gets them, but I know for sure the stuff we grew was very potent, and very vigorous.
ALso if you can tell something by a stem rub, you better go back and brush up.
Nevil, whom I guess you've heard of??
Says rubbing the stems was 1 of his determining factors, as his nose knew what it was looking for. Simple as that. Its not the whole story but Ive been growing weed since 1972, and I can for sure determine whats up by the smell, from a vegging plant.
Ive also got probably got over 300 indoor grows under my belt since 1978.., I got the first HID made for growing plants. It was from the Navy Submarine Division where they grew veggies in the Nuclear Subs for sustain the crew ect. It was a very fragile bulb, and they wouldnt guarantee it in shipping. If it was broken in shipping, tough luck. Then they came out with the Super Nova, and Octagarden. So I have been around the block, and don't just suggest shit for no reason. I also spent 8.5 years in federal prison, and 6 years supervised release for over 1000 clones on an indoor grow.
Its still the largest in East Ky from what I know. 1997. I did from 97-2009 mucking with the feds. 10-Life Mandatory Minimum. $3,000,000-$5,000,000 fine, which ya cant get blood out of a turnip. M also in an unfriendly state. 1 of the worst... I did 12 months felony conviction in 89-90 for 2 x 1/8th because they were in separate baggies. Possession with Intent, and I lived 300 feet from a school, so they added the trafficking within 1000 Yards of a school. I was the first in my county to be convicted of this. 1989... Was sentenced to 15 months, but got 3 off for good time.
Also if you don't know it, many of these genetics were available from late 80s-90s Sensi Seeds, Nevil/Seed Bank, SSSC, Cultivators Choice, The Flying Dutchmen, and many of TNF crosses are rehashes of what was once available, though admittedly not the same selections they used, but no less the guy goes through no less than 70-250 Males/Females for selections.
From what weve grown out so far, the genetics are as sound as the 80s-90s original genetics. I got busted with 1000+ Colorado Cough ( NL5 x Hz #17 ) x Nevils Seed Bank Hashplant/SSSC Sk1.
Heres some other peoples photos from his site from the previous drop,that were grown by other people, Sk18 Hybrids.
