I'm becoming less and less impressed with GPS, just realized they just went to a local dispensary(kind love its like an hour from me[noticed when i looked at their weedmaps menu to pickup some sunset sherbet clones]) picked up a bunch of their clones and pollen chucked them now are cashing in. To me that's not even breeding, i bet most of these seeds are untested pollen chucks. Worst part is they didn't even say they were from a dispo i legit have the same access to these cuts as the pollen chucker does i really feel like i wasted my time. I already know this is a B quality plant, i'm pretty sure this whole pack is a bust. I hate wasting my time on grows.
I honestly don't know what's worse, the pollen chucking to a dispensaries clones or the fact you copy and pasted the dispensaries clone description as your grow description.....
Next time when your doing some backyard breeding at least give the source credit if you aren't sourcing your own plants.
Before I start, you’re annoying as shit, and so often pick an idiotic hill to die on. But, ugh, in this case you’re right.
You’re just now figuring this out?! This is Gu’s whole business plan. Get every single popular clone he can get his hands on, make as many seeds as possible as cheaply as possible, and then push them out the door as quickly as possible. That means no testing. No popping seeds at all. No pheno hunting for future breedings. His breeding plans amount to “what other popular clones can I get my hands on?” and no additional thought beyond that. It’s been that way since he got the Stardawg male, and I see no signs it’s going to change any time soon.
GPS is the Walmart of cannabis seeds. Cheap, knock-off seeds for people that can’t afford or don’t have access to the real thing.
You dont have access to the stardawg male pollen he has. Which is what breeds so well. It's not the mothers. And why does it matter if the clones came from dispensary or a person?
Gu was also given his male. He didn’t select it himself.
What exactly is the Stardawg male adding to these crosses that is making them so desirable? I mean, seriously, everyone is popping these seeds hoping for a mom leaner. Whenever someone asks how a cross is doing, it’s essentially code for “is the mom coming through at all?”. It’s crazy that there’s a thread full of people with dozens of Stardawg crosses, hoping to find plants that don’t resemble Stardawg.
Seriously, nobody is buying these packs because of the Stardawg male. They’re buying them because of the Cookies and Cream, or Wedding Cake, or Gelato 33, or Sundae Driver, or FPOG. Ask anyone if they’d prefer the GPS cross or a clone of the mom, every single person would want the mom.
I know I hate on Gu a lot, but my problem isn’t even with Gu. I get the feeling Gu understands the niche he’s built in the cannabis industry. He sells cheap pollen chucks. He makes good money off of it and he’s found a way to maximize profits. I have zero problem with that. (Side note - I do have some issues with his business practices - like the CC processor, and everything about the S1 fiasco).
My problem is with people worshipping Gu on this forum acting like he’s an amazing breeder doing a service to the community. How can someone be a breeder if he hasn’t selected a single plant that he’s bred with in the past ~2 years?! We know for a fact he doesn’t test his crosses. His packs are cheap because that’s what they’re worth, and cheap packs means he can maximize his profits. He’s not selling them cheap out of the kindness of his heart.
