Agreed...I'm not trying to say it doesn't have it's place....it just kinda turns me off a bit. No need for males in breeding....tissue culture...comparing cannabis to fruit and veg breeding practices.....of course there should be a market for homogoneous varieties that breed true. It's just one portion of the market....and one I don't have a lot of interest in.
Ya rados sour apple drop (sour d x c99) had a handful of crosses with other older cuts. Thought it was nice to c
any links to school a noob on mms? is star pupil not good?
outsider looking in, but, does Masonic claim to be a master breeder? Could it be argued that he provides an outlet for relatively cheap untested f1 crosses( seen many of his packs for 25-35)? Sure there are always better options, but I think the game is big enough for anyone who can survive.
To be honest, I've always thought cap was a fucking asshole and have avoided dealing with him because of his shitty attitude, even though some of the gear is obviously fire. There's fire gear everywhere now though. No need for narcissistic prima donnas and buyer's clubs and people who collaborate with scumbags or any of that kind of bullshit. It's 2021. We've gotten to the point that people can find keepers in a pack from even the most amateurish pollen chuckers out there and even autoflowers are breaking into the 30% club.
Man, that dude has mental problems. He can't even maintain his train of thought on a livestream. I'm not really in the know on all the drama stuff between him and Riot and Oni because I've really just lost interest in even trying to keep up with it, but I wouldn't trust anything from Masonic from what I've seen. I'm pretty sure whatever parentage is on the label is half-right at best. He seems like the kind of clown who would throw random bagseed in a pack to make a buck and/or have pollen from multiple donors flying all over the place.
Yeah I think that argument could be reasonably made. I can’t and don’t think many could speak to the legitimacy of lineage in his actual crosses but I also think for a lot of the people shitting on him it’s more out of principal as opposed to what he’s offering. Why go to a dude that’s clearly just in it for the money and has a shitty attitude towards the entire thing when you could spend a bit more money on a standup breeders work and eventually just start making your own beans exactly like Masonic.
Ya thats fine, like hawg wild said the dude seems to just come across as having some issues at least to me. I also never said he was a master breeder, what is a master breeder? Do the give an award once you reach the level? Hahaha jk.
To me, he's like Ethos. Like... who the fuck is this guy? I've been around forever. Took a break and came back around the scene and everybody and their mother is a breeder now. Some great old forum friends have seed companies that are doing well and producing fire (Green Team Genetics, for example), but a lot of these guys weren't even growing 5 years ago and their shit gets hyped all over social media like they're the second coming. Gotta watch out for "influencers" and fake reviews and people hyping up shit they've never even grown on word of mouth alone. Facebook is the absolute worst. There are sooooo many Facebook groups that are nothing more than some newbie grower and his friends with a ton of alt accounts hyping up untested gear to take advantage of newbies who don't know any better. A lot of today's "breeders" don't even know the bare minimum basics about growing but their seeds sell like hotcakes because their shills are all over the place. It doesn't help when YouTubers with a large audience (looking at you, Future Cannabis Project and Adam Dunn) will let any old jackass hype their tall tales on their shows, which just serves to legitimize the clowns in the eyes of much of the audience.
O man don't get started on ethos, supposedly the dude has a pretty colorful past- charged with throwing a dog off a balcony.
Exactly. Green Team has been knocking it out of the park since long before he was making crosses. He's a stand-up guy and his plants have always been incredible, but I hardly ever see him mentioned. If it were me, I probably wouldn't charge as much as he does, at least until the demand is there, but, at the same time, the work is definitely worth the cost.
Ya compounds Chris did some shady shit to Jeff, he basically stole the biz and locked him out of the online socials. So Jeff went and started wyeast which I support. I still have some compound gear, I believe they compound was sold, you can tell that compound has some big money behind it now. Have to say this about compound, they have some fucking fire!
