I'll also share a story about Obsoul33t, something that happened many years ago. It's why I never grew anything of his for many years. He was doing some breeding with Nevil's Northern Lights, it was probably 25+ years ago. I ordered one of his strains from one of the Euro seed auctions places, Seedbay or Mark Emory or another of those seedbanks way back when. They came in, I planted them expecting a normal N.L.- short, stocky, etc. Instead what grew were incredible monsters, and I chopped them when they all hit 7 feet tall (and still growing). I complained like there was no tomorrow, I knew what I got was absolutely NOT the N.L. I was expecting and had been growing for years. They denied it of course, and said if there was a mistake, it was by Obsoul33t. Five weeks totally wasted, they were so BIG, so stretchy, with thin long branches- I knew it was a haze or skunk of some type. To this day, I still haven't grown anything like it.
Weeks and months later, other reports started to show up- same complaint, same exact experience as mine. Eventually it came out they ran out of the N.L. and were substituting a N.L. X Haze instead. They did offer to replace them with something else IF I SENT THEM BACK- I told them to fuck off as it was 3 months later and all had been grown until they were destroyed.
Now, I guess I could have tried to bend and train them, but things had gotten so out of control, it would have been 2-3 months of hell getting them to the finish line. I owned a different house back then, and although the grow room was larger, the ceiling was shorter. No thanks.
Obsoul33t has now been inducted into the Grower's "Hall of Fame", it's hard to find a single complaint about his stuff and I forgave him a few years ago. LOL
