Greenpoint seeds!!

Also got a replacement pack from Greenpoint today. The Purple Crunch (Dosidos x Purp Punch) refused to germinate. Shot glass, water....shot glass water with 5% hydrogen peroxide.....3 days later I used an emery board and sandpaper, wet a paper towel tossed it on a covered plate....no love in 5 days

Complained and got offered anything on the site free.

Copper Chem arrived today.

I dunno if you’ve been in this thread for a while or not, but I had similar issues with my ice cream punch. Patience paid off in the end and even though they took a full two weeks to sprout, all three did and they’re now very healthy. I’m expecting a similar experience with the Larry. I almost got the purple crunch but chose the ice cream punch instead. Good to know they’ll send replacements like that. The copper chem is one I’m definitely interested in doing. Would totally pick that one if someone offered me a choice between copper and stardawg f2. If you’re willing to wait, take another stab at germinating the purple crunch. I’ve always used jiffy pellets — never pre-soaked or used paper towels. If you don’t wanna try them again feel free to send them my way ;)

Coco peat from mother earth. It's a nicely amended coco but I guess it would be considered like hydro. Top drip to waste.

I agree coco is like hydro (almost as good) and so even more Unbelievably ridiculously huge! What size trichs? kidding but it would be cool.

Garbage man took em away. I have quite a few seeds, its never taken over 2-3 days for seeds to crack open before.....I knew if they took weeks the plants health would be compromised at best.
 
Copper Chem's and Cake n Chem at 52 days update... I posted pics from day 49 a few pages back. As far as odor is concerned, the Copper Chem's are very citrus and are overpowering the room. Strong odor. A lot of orange hairs. The Cake's aren't that strong odor-wise at all. They smell kind of sweet and like a light perfume. Not getting cookies or vanilla as of yet. The Cake's are more resinous though.

Everybody that grew out Gu's Copper Chem in the past loved the high, too. At one point they were $149 a pack, lol. I just hope Heisen has the Copper Chem as dialed in as Gu did.

Sorry bud that sucks. I had nanners that I didn't notice until too late on my first grow so I feel your pain. Hopefully the potency hasn't been compromised too much and you'll at least have some consolation prizes. Hit up GPS in email or give em a call. I've seen them make good when things don't come out quite right. Might give ya a couple free packs and will certainly replace the ones you bought at the very least from what I've seen.

I appreciate that, but the only other GPS strains I've grown was Dream Catcher I got from OGS, and a couple of them hermied too. At this point I'm only doing one indoor per year (and one all auto outdoor), so I can't mess around anymore, I have to stick with reliable sources. The one Deputy that was a solid pheno was phenomenal, and the Dream Catchers that finished well were tasty, but I don't have the bandwidth for hit or miss seeds.
 
I saw those pics. nice.. I was contemplating dropping the Bridezilla and some Cake n Chem together. Perhaps do a little pollination of the 2. Hows the stretch on those "Cake N Chems"?

The reason I ask, is the Bison Breath ( back a page ) really stretched. I wished I topped early but didn't. 6 of the phenos are 36"-46" and 4 required to be topped at 46" a while ago. 10 phenos total. THe smells are a mix of burnt rubber, lemon pine citrus chem, mixed in different ratio's. There is even a hint of fruit similiar to c99 in the topped/stretched pheno's. The #2 pheno is pure burn't rubber/tire. Its tapers off to a sort of "piss puck" smell. Good enough to make nose hairs curl.. Only #1 is similar to this but actually is smelling like plastercein. I seeded the #2 pheno with 2 nice but similar "low ceiling" males.

Greenpoints regular seeds were good, but Heisenbean did his feminized breeding. I've heard mixed results, time will tell. Tombstone, Tomahawk and Copper Chem are wins. All I have tried of Greenpoints, start to finish. No complaints.

Heisenbeans Dos Si dos? Ive run 4 seeds trying to get one to pop. No luck.

FYI - I've grown 2 different phenos of purple crash and wedding night. All 4 were fire with no nanners. Can't comment on GPS as I still haven't flowered any of his stuff yet.

The Cake n Chem's varied. I had 18 females out of 40 seeds. I culled 4 two weeks into flowering mainly because they were too short and didn't stretch much at all. Of the remaining 14, there are probably 4 more that I wouldn't keep due to lack of height and stretch. Indica or heavy indica leaning plants that are slow growing, don't stretch much, and tend to want to be short and compact aren't beneficial to our grow technique(s). Some of those shorties are the greenest in the room which I find more common with indica's. Of the remaining 10, maybe 2 have more sativa traits then one would expect from the cross. The other 8 appear to be quintessential hybrids. A good number of those are stacking a bit more like a chem then a cake/cookie structure but with likely more resin and no orange hairs like the chem; as of yet. I will say I'm very happy. At the beginning, the Copper's were clearly stacking more quickly, bigger, and better than the Cake n Chem's, but many Cake's have caught up. It'll be interesting to see the final results on all fronts. I'm hoping the Cake n Chem's might end with a stronger odor, but from what I read about Wedding Cake it's odor isn't very dominant or strong. I mean, have you heard of anyone referring to earthy or doughy as a "strong" or overwhelming odor?

I don't see why a Bridezilla crossed with a Cake n Chem wouldn't produce something great as long as you choose a great female and male as well as do enough pheno hunting, but I'm not a geneticist. I'd imagine luck and statistics would play a big role in the pheno hunt.
