That cooper chem looks awesome!! i love the way it bushes out! Bet that pheno yields great!
Thanks, which also means thanks to GPS for the phenomenal seeds. That particular plant, tagged F4 Copper Chem, is just stellar all the way around. It turned out to be the best yielder of 32 seed starts (18 Copper Chems & 14 Cake n Chem) producing 242g of dried, trimmed bud from an organic based formula in an NC7 pot. It was strong and hardy producing a medusa head of large tops. It had nice purpling and was very resinous. It wasn't too leafy and didn't produce much lower larf. Patients have been saying the dried bud smells "fruity", fruity pebbles", "sweet" and "grape soda-ish." Upon smoking, it tastes "sweet" and "piney." It's exceptionally strong and sativa leaning. These are made up numbers but I'd guess it's 70-75% sativa. Like a Rattlers song, it keeps your heart beatin'. It's fucked everybody up, and it has long lasting effects. It went 78 days. It's just a fucking winner. I haven't been this excited about a plant since finding a unique winner from the original Sagarmatha BubbleBerry in '97 that tasted like grape Big League chew.

There's a 50% sale off the whole site coming up very soon (as far as I'm aware), if they allowed the 50% or other discount codes to still be valid, they'd be paying you to send you seeds. Be patient, wait for the 50% sale and stack the regular codes that work all the time. ;-)

I see the prices always drop eventually. The stardawg f2 went down a bunch after I bought it..

I used my 50% off coupon successfully so they must have disabled it when they updated the new seed stock recently..

That makes no sense. Companies don’t just make coupons expire, just because they have a sale coming up, instead they just make it so you can’t use coupons during sales like that. All they have to do is configure their web store so it won’t accept coupon codes during their 50% off sale.

Most, if not all discount coupons I've ever come across have expiration dates, if they didn't, the companies who use them to entice purchases would just be giving stuff away for free all the time, that's not how businesses survive.

Does it say there's an expiration date? No. Just says one time use. If they wanted an expiration on it then they should've put one. The fact that it doesn't have one means it should be honored.

Exactly. Fucking bullshit. If they wanted it to have an expiration then they should've put one. Smdh... I won't be going back til I get my coupon reinstated. I don't like Indian givers..

No, it doesn't have an expiration date and while I agree that it probably should(or some other kind of disclaimer), it also doesn't state that it is available for an unlimited time period, just a one off offer.

Like I've said earlier, there's a 50% off sale coming fast, do you really expect them to give you 100% off the price of your seeds? These sales or discount codes come every 2 weeks or so on GPS and if they didn't expire everything would be free.

Correct but, if they didn't include an expirations date, then they should still honor the coupon. I could understand them not honoring them if people have been sitting on them for a year or more, but based on the complaints I'm seeing in this thread, that doesn't seem to be the case.

Like I said earlier...they can very easily state in their sale that no coupons can be used for sale items. This is a very common practice in retail.

GPS keeps randomly raising and lowering prices every day, and even every few hours, why not just bring back the reverse auctions if pricing is going to change hourly...
@Gu~ explained the new pricing structure last year when he announced the auctions going away.
Basically, the strains in highest demand will always have higher prices. New strains can be expected to start off high and drop down after an initial surge.
It would not surprise me if his website allowed him to automate price changes based on rules (an algorithm) that automatically calculates and updates prices based on time in stock, weekly (or daily) sales, and remaining packs in stock.

I see his "tester" releases as really an opportunity to get a gift for his biggest customers. You pretty much have to be gold or platinum to have a chance of getting a pack (he allocates a set number of packs to give away free in those promos) and everybody else after the tester release period gets a chance to buy the new gear. Ask any breeder out there . . . getting testers to actually do what they say they are going to do is a low probability game. Less than 10% ever grow and show. Most have given up on the expectation but do it anyway because it is expected. Gu treats it as a promotional event as part of a new release. Smart. I'd say the only breeder out there that get's consistently high results from testers is Bodhi, but he has different expectations anyway, and his supporters border on cultish behavior.
I don't blame them. Bodhi deserves all the respect he gets.

If any of this is confusing to the members here, these are simply state of the art sales/marketing/promotional methods as enabled through top shelf website package and executed by a guy who has an aptitude for it. It's obviously a real strength for Gu.

Coupons expiring? Yeah, that happens. Ever hear of Gold Nuggets? Availability of promos (like seeds themselves) should never be taken for granted. Use it or lose it is the history of genetics, but I know it sucks when soemthing like that happens.
Rather than complaining on a thread with thousands of customers, I would have sent Gu an email telling him you were "just about to pull the trigger on packs of X, Y and Z and discovered the coupon gone . . . could he help you out?"
Knowing that guy, I'd be surprised if you didn't get a reply that made you happy.

I got a pack of the motor punch. I'm not diamond or gold, just bronze.
Got a pack of testers before too. Most of what you said is false.

yea I’ve been around awhile and I saw his explanation for the new pricing and what I’ve been seeing isn’t that it’s just random fluctuations not based on anything it’s his priority to do so but like I said if the price is going to fluctuate that much just bring back the reverse auctions and it wasn’t a complaint more of a suggestion.

Well, shit. I was hanging on to that for something new.

The new pricing was a step back moment though, jeez!

It's funny, I just noticed these new prices on the new strains.
l still have only had 2 out of so far 22 plants of 5 different strains from heisen not throw balls. Unfortunately I dropped a bunch of money a while back on several packs of these new crosses, so I'm still trying to push through all them seeds before I get more again. Not included in those 22 plants are another 6 @ 2.5 weeks of banana orange daiquiri and purple cake of which a few days back I checked for balls and as i expected plucked between 3 or 4 to upwards of a dozen off each plant. So I guess now, 28 total.
I work a rotation operation and time after time, plant by plant I've found that these fems likely throw sacks at around 2 to 3 weeks. It takes a bit of time, doesnt show up at first, definitely tricky if you only check your plants once as soon as you have budlets.
And these sacks mostly like to form between the main stem and budlet on mostly secondary branches, making them a bit harder to find.
I'm just trying to give people a heads up so they can maybe avoid the random seeded bud that I've got for the past 8 months.
And for the record I was growing GPS long before these fems with no problem and I also have house strains in the same room that throw no balls.

I just had to say something after seeing these absurd prices, like his gear he's produced is that shit. It's been mostly larfy, halfway seeded, sometimes purple and usually frosty, garden ruining, bullshit.
I'm really disappointed, I keep checking back on the GPS forum and site hoping for a little move in the right direction, and I'm not impressed.

So that's my rant on the 240$ seeds lol good luck everyone and check over your lowers at 3 weeks
