Kosher Kush, Holy Grail Kush, Cataract Kush, Tora Bora

Smoke reports will be provided on the above strains when completed, 4-5 weeks hopefully, resources permitting.

My previous experience with DNA/RP genetics were good and Im hoping for the same with these as well.
OG18, OG Kush, Sour Kush, Confidential Cheese, SleeSkunk, Pure Afghan are the strains tested in the past and listed order of preference.

Please feel free to post any pertinent information or relevant questions you may have.

This thread was created to provide info to those already interested, looking for more specific details and gathering data to select between specific strains. My intent was not to promote DNA or their strains, but to provide a honest review of them for those interested.

To be honest, I personally think DNA has gotten too big, greedy and is just focusing on the $ aka the feminized market, alienating their regular lines and customer base. I agree that this strategy is more financially sound but with the impending over saturation of new suppliers/chuckers in the market occurring at the moment, I say make all the dough you can while you still can i guess.

My intent was not to promote DNA or their strains, but to provide a honest review of them for those interested. So I apologize to all who are adamant on requiring images to validate my results. This thread will disappoint you.

Not sure how I offended you, not my intent. That comment was intended for those requesting pics.
Yes. I have purchased from DNA, and offered a recently developed opinion on them above.
To clarify, I think their recent business strategy is smart, just as an existing customer i would prefer they offer regulars like in the past.

Yes please continue.. Nice to hear about the strains and yes I agree with about DNA and Rp just in it for the money.. I wish they had the reg beans in stock because personally I've had alot of bad experiences with thier FEMs

Lets start again.
Hope its a better one.

Ive recognized the value of the thread is greater with images, so i will post some pics along the way, however, I will be using a cheap camera phone with horrible resolution, and unable to provide the wonderful macros and details within the images as others do on this site. This piece of crap cannot capture the trichome coverage or any real details on the subjects, but its the best I can do right now.

Heres my first attempt at loading some. Hope it goes well. (roll over picture with mouse for subject identification, left to right, if multiple)

The four subjects featured are HG1, KK1, KK2, CK (left to right) at day42 under 400WHPS in 2Gal Pots
They were receiving tons of calmag (calcium whores), as a result, were a little heavy on the nitrogen (esp the CK).

Also, Im interested in how your experience with the CC Buddha Tahoe goes. Will run them myself if it pleases you.
Another side note, the TB is from regular seed.
