Have You Grown to Harvest from Cannabis.com seeds?

I have been hearing so many varied reports from all these seed bank commentators I don't know which places to trust.
I am growing from cannabisseeds.com seeds (white widow feminized) and am one week into flowering.

Can anyone tell me their growing experience with cannabisseeds.com seeds through to harvest? What was your opinion of the quality/quantity?
I'm not asking about whether you got your seeds or if they didn't work for this post, just want to know about the harvest if that's cool.
Any info would be appreciated!

just cuz you got your seeds from one place then the other does not mean you will get more quality/quantity

thats totally on you , your quantity will come from how long you can let your plant grow b4 harvest

big plant = big harvest little plant = little harvest ya know

as far as quality goes thats on you also

dont harvest to early or late take care of your baby feed her right and be good to her and she will be good to you

It's actually a mix of genetics and care. The genetics are 100% in the seed, they have nothing to do with the grower, and everything to do with the breeder. What possible source, other than your own limited experience, would make you state something so obviously false?

i know genetics are in the seed

im just saying that if he got something like w.w from one place and turnd around and also got it somewhere else

and he grow them then he still got w.w regardless of what seed bank he got it from

idk i guess im just wording what im trying to say wrong !! my bad

sort of. The problems are that some distributors are simply crooks, and if you don't pick reputable ones you might not have what you think you have. Also, there are different genetics for most of the common types available. Unless you know the particular breeder (brand?), then you don't know that two retailers are giving you the same genetics. Some strains/hybrids are more stable than others, so sometimes what you are saying is true, but it's just as possible it won't be true.
Picking good genetics (like ww), from a reputable breeder, is going to place the responsibility for the finished product 100% on the grower, but that's kinda my point. If you get crappy genetics, no amount of TLC will make them better than their genetics allow.

sorry, got on a tangent, and left your question hanging. I haven't heard of them. I don't like their site. As I mentioned in the tangent I went off on, good genetics ensure the potential of growing good plants, then you just practice and get experience, and you can unlock the potential. The site you linked doesn't even list real info on strains, what they might consist of, or info on what breeders they obtain seeds from. Who knows what you're going to get. Along those lines, if you have good results, get pics before and after harvest, and info on weights, and grow setup, and post it in the seeds section. The fact that they don't give much genetic info doesn't mean they won't be awesome, it just means you don't really know. If they are great, let others know :)

The previous poster is right on yields though, your equipment and experience will make a great difference there, though strain plays a part. Think of TLC * genetic potential = end result :)

Thanks guys for the thoughtful responses. I have been hearing the company sells crappy hemp seeds (genetics), and tho they ate growing beautifully (through my nurturing, thank you very much), I worry my love and care will turn to crap. This is my first grow so of course I'm very anxious and a little worried.
It doesn't look like anyone here has yet to harvest from these guys. Hopefully I'll be okay.

UPDATE!
Yep, they seem to be crap. over 5 feet, over half male (feminized seeds) and super tiny blooms. Starting the 4th week of flowering and I cannot wait to get this over with so I can start with new seeds I got from Attitude.

Serious Seeds genetic's are some of the best around and you can get them from attitude

Well I am about two weeks from harvest. I have some seriously spotty buds due to spindly growth, and nothing I'd be proud to post a photo of. However they are filling in some, and I'm starting to see some red hairs. I have magnified the triches and they are numerous and clear, so we still have some time. I obvious don't know how they'll smoke but it shouldn't be long now. I'll post results as they come in!
Question: do the trichomes indicate quality, or is that more wrapped up in the genetics of the plant?

Full Harvest Report on CannabisSeeds.com

Okay, it has been about five months since I began this process, and it ended with harvest last week. While my buddies are still drying, I wanted to inform everyone of what I got. (For those waiting a long time for this, my apologies: working three jobs and playing through Mass Effect 1&2 have taken up quite a bit of my time). So here goes-but first a caveat.
This was my first grow, and I made a number of mistakes, as well as having to make numerous adjustments to my room. There were probably four days that humidity reached 99%, and there were a couple occasions where my lights tripped a breaker for a few hours before being noticed (again, three jobs), and two 3-4 hour power outages late in the flowering process due to road work. This must have had an effect, but I couldn’t guess what it had. However, also keep in mind that I have a very proper growing space: two 400Ws, a humidifier, a dehumidifier, two filtering inline fans as well as a circulating fan. So for the people who may doubt this report’s validity, are you growing on a coffee table with CFLs?
If you want to read no further here are three things: The smoke is wicked! I haven’t cured it yet but it is an amazing high. Two, I believe this company crosses its breeds with hemp, probably to maximize seed production, thus lowering the price. I will not buy from them again. Three, the yield is much lower than could be expected from a purer strain.
So I started with 15 feminized white widow seeds. All popped and grew nicely right off the bat. The seeds seemed at their peak. After transplanting to 4x4 pots from starter plugs under fluorescents, I put them under 18 hour days on my 400W. I used Ocean Forest soil with FoxFarm Grow Big. Very quickly they showed great promise and all were very healthy. However, it became pretty obvious by the time I started flowering that something was wrong. My understanding was that after 4 weeks of vegging, the plant should be about 2 feet tall. These were between 4-5 feet! My room height is seven feet, so subtracting for room for lights, I had to start bending.
The height wouldn’t have bothered me so much if the nodes were less interspersed. Yet I was looking at about a foot between each node for branches, and they were also exceedingly wide in spread. Given I had 15 plants in a 7x5 room, it soon became an overgrown tangled mess that you couldn’t get through without a machete. It got so I had to water almost blind, hoping I’d hit the pot that was “somewhere down through there”.
Luckily/unluckily, these FEMINIZED seeds, after about two weeks of flowering, suddenly showed they were standard, as 7 of them quickly showed themselves to be male. In a day I had to chop down half my plants! I’ll get used to doing that I guess, and it allowed some maneuverability in the room, but it was still sad, not to mention false advertising.
It was at this point I almost decided to scrap the whole project and order different seeds (which I did eventually do, and which are growing as expected (thanks Attitude!) to start over, but it was my first grown and I was attached to them, having taken meticulous notes almost daily. So I kept at it.
As it turned out, from my research on the White Widow, I found that it benefits from additional flowering time of about a month. This turned out to be exactly the case. After the requisite two months, trichome production was high, but still completely clear and without the impressive ball cap at its tip. The hairs were all still completely white as well. So it took another month.
Last week I harvested and trimmed for drying. Since there was so much vegetable matter there, it took 5.5 hours with two people to trim down eight plants. However, as the pictures show, we have a few really nice colas here, though the buds are more wispy than dense. As of today I have lost at least 50% of the mass from moisture loss, but this may be normal.
On the very bright side, the week of drying has brought out the trichomes in spades. The bud almost looks moldy, because it is more white than green. Investigating this under the microscope, this shade is entirely due to massive, fat, cloudy white trichomes that literally cover every millimeter of the plant. The remaining mass is red hair. I have been smoking a bit of it as is dries and the high is almost psychedelic.
All told, I am very happy with this first outing. The spindliness of the plants made them terrible to work with, they took way too long, the yield pretty poor by today’s standards (probably an ounce per), and the buds aren’t much to look at (don’t even get me started on this whole “feminized” thing). But hey, I made some fairly large mistakes in the process too, and really it’s all good because I’ve got some serious smoke here.
So I can’t say I am happy with cannabisseeds.com, but what I Dopey1 007.jpggrew was pot, it does get you high, and the price/yield ratio is fair. My new seedlings (Nebula) look healthier, stouter, and productive after Dopey1 015.jpgone month than these did after two, but for a first shot I can’t complain too much. Hope this report helps, and please don’t give the same weigDopey1 003.jpght to a report of “They suck you’ll be disappointed”. If that’s the case, provide more details friend.
UPDATE: all told, got 15oz!
Stay chill.

Well ... I guess they do send you seeds, which are the strain they claim, and they are cheap as hell. I got 12 Afgan Kush reg from them for a low price and quick shipping, learned online that they are crap, and it so happenned that I lost 9 of them after I got some Attitude product. I soaked the 3 remaining ones for 2 days and then chucked them in one of the flowerpots of random house plants in my room. I thought I could forget about them, but in 3 days or so, two of them actually sprung up. I don't have any space and conditions for them, so I'll just watch them there until they're too obvious (mom's house xD). Their germ rates are ok, but by the 3rd-4th week they show up to be more male than claimed. Furthermore, they're crossed with hemp which makes them much too lanky and tall for the typical indoor or stealthy tastes. Their yield is inferior, so all in all, CS.com is more of a cheap over-advertised crappy seed vendor than a scam. So, lest you wanna chuck a fistful of seeds over a random field in March and be like whatever until mid-autumn (except for removing males :D), choose a different bank, because the resulting plants don't deserve proper love and grow space.

I would have to disagree with you I know how to push a strain to where it will max in yeild and have relatively fluffy big airy buds, Or i could grow it to have good medium dense dready buds that has good quality,or grow it to have dense good quality buds that are frosty as snow and best yeild for that quality. I've really noticed a sacrafice yeild for quality or quality for yeild,I also grow the hydro monsters.
