I agree, known genetics that throw some sterile nanners isn't a big deal. I think it's just funny/ironic for them to go on and on about the advantages of triploids only to have the internet call them out on a hermie problem that smacks of untested seeds.
Where there's smoke, there's fire. I've never had a plant throw visible nanners and I've abused the fuck out of them.
I cant bring myself to read youtube comments anymore. Its so... cringe.
20twenty sells Cadillacs, HSC sells Toyotas. It's not even a comparison.Having run this breeders' strains for a year now, here is my honest review; with over a decade using several dozen suppliers.
1. If you have northern lights freebies, don't waste your time; these beans have to be a decade old.
My germination rate has been 95% on every breeder, but these wither and die almost immediately; if you can even germinate them.
2. These weren't the only germination issues, this "family business" according to their own emails; wound up giving me a partial refund.
Upon sending them pics, was advised this was due to damping off issues; issues I never have.
3. Just harvested an all gas, and found several fully developed seeds on lower buds while trimming; and it isn't the first time.
The seeds are self-pollinated, thankfully didn't blast my room with pollen; and there are only a few.
4. This one is my greatest compliant, low yield on some strains; particularly garlic budder.
And don't go by their flowering times, am about to chop an apple blossom that should have finished well before the all-gas.
I won't be using them in the future, going back to my previous one who is actually giving away FREE!(link below)seeds this weekend.
I've used this other breeder for several years, side by side to HSC; so would recommend them for fem beans.
For reg beans, nobody has out-performed Bodhi; on freebies...Great Lakes Genetics has some badass breeders.!!
GLG also sells 20Twenty Mendo gear last I checked, so imo; would be wise to go through them for those great freebies.
Peace all, have a great mother's day weekend!
In all fairness, I did have an issue with one 20twenty herm
strain last year; and it was the reason I tried HSC here.
Damn that's crazy. I didn't know what to make of triploid seeds but I wasn't after 'donut' terps at the time anyway or having major problems w herms in HSC packs. I am curious about those granny candies though.
Where would u recommend a fella look for nl5 seeds? Under $100 a pack?
Ag seed Co is your best bet in that price range.
Take anything on the market that is NL5 seeds with a big grain of salt. NL5 started as a seed line nearly 40 years ago. From what I've seen, the best seeds with any old NL5 actually in them are made with older NL5 cuts that are still in existence. Strayfox, Bodhi have released things fitting that bill. I've seen some nice things out there from CSI's Northern Lites fems too. Crickets and Cicadas work with NL1 and PNW hashplant are likely to net you a nicer plant you'd be happier with than AG. Ofc, C&C isn't exactly cheap either. Not to knock AG, but their NL5 offerings are probably a bit of a hunt.
I managed to pop 3 more of their seeds, but I'm done with this joke of a breeder; am culling all their work.
holy shit, that og triple is the healthiest plant of ALL TIME!!!!!
looking great!
They aren't testing anything, as even the flowering times on their own packaging are inaccurate.
I have never seen an accurate breeder estimate. Not even from my favorite breeders.They aren't testing anything, as even the flowering times on their own packaging are inaccurate.
My goal by posting has now become focused on preventing this trainwreck(lol!)of a breeder from screwing over anyone else.
I'll bet they are already figuring out how to re-brand their tarnished reputation.
Glad I didn't spend too much, unfortunately it appears others have.

It isn't the buyer's responsibility to research, which I do(that's how I found 20twenty); must have missed the pilot link 2 years ago on HSC.
Most of them are like that. Some use crazy backstories, others pose as shamans and gurus, etc etc. Less testing than you think goes on in many cases, and many still misrepresent every aspect of their business to cover up they dont make a single damn seed in this country.It isn't the buyer's responsibility to research, which I do(that's how I found 20twenty); must have missed the pilot link 2 years ago on HSC.
I normally dismiss poor breeding work, and simply move on; but this one has been skipping testing their own work...or releasing them anyways.
Then they simply use marketing gimmicks, and clean up their mess later; or not.
They don't belong in the industry at all, but yeah; I'll move on.
Have a great day!
