Yes I'm familiar with stress testing, in a software engineering environment, but the concept generalizes. Some people are interested in bleeding edge development. Same as in software the early adopters are the ones who get to experience all the bugs. It's the tax you pay for early adoption of anything. The benefits are being the first expert in a new trend and that can pay itself back to you many times over.good suggestion but if that is the reason for it to hermie i wouldn't consider that alone to be a good one. if anything i've read and seen breeders do much worst to their crosses to see how stable it is, it's called a stress test.
Yes that's correct and I wasn't trying to do any finger pointing as I am far to inexperienced. At this point I mostly have book knowledge so I'm just trying to see how it translates to reality. Which was why I asked.It's a no win situation. If I pointed out the change in light cycle to 12/12 and back so quickly could have caused that, then I would have JJ or someone else flaming me for citing grower error as the cause. So that's why I didn't say that, so I didn't come here looking to blame the grower right off the bat. Catch 22.
That is another issue. A representative of GDP posted from his professional status about a grow of a rival companies genetics. So this creates all kind of questions regarding motivation. Dual relationships are confusing and can create suspicion. However GDP rep isn't a rep 100% of the time either and has a personal life wherein he can choose to grow different genetics.Anyone find it suspicious that we have a Rep on Rep battle GDP vs RD? I think there needs to be a battle grow, you know... two come into the garden, and only one leaves.
Precisely you are here to be a rep for a company. Therefore your personal issues should be separate from your representative account duties. This is an instance wherein you honestly NEED a second account. Dual relationships can create a huge problem as illustrated by this thread.SOUNDS GOOD!!! When we doing this bro?
In all seriousness. To those who asked, I deleted some of my posts. I am here to be a REP for a company. To be a bright light for those interested in our seeds. If I come on here, foul-mouth m other companies or speak to quick, someone could easily make accusations against my character. I am a chill person, I laugh a lot. I don't want the back n forth bs that seems to occur in every thread, one way or another.
With that said. NOBODY BUT A REP FROM MICHIGAN HAS ANSWERED ANY QUESTIONS OR SAID SHIT, except that I'm bitter cause I wanted his job... in MICHIGAN???
Whatever, great customer service. I am waiting for something positive to come from this. Sure is frustrating.
I popped 20 Moonshine haze. The pack I bought at the cup was alot better than the one I ordered online. I kept three phenos. I think there were 12 different phenos. Most of my Moonshine haze were dwarfs and most of them wilted over and died for no reason (Online seed pack).
Key word in there was THINK. He also said he only kept 3 and never flowered the other 7 out, so we will never know what variation was actually there. You can't tell a plant's genotype from a seedling. You have to grow it out to see what traits are expressed. Variation in appearance of young seedlings could easily be affected by environmental conditions. Gotta wait til the alternating nodes hit to see how they really grow.
Holy shit dude 12 pheno's?? Whatever happened to uniformity in a strain?
I guess its good if the person plans on going on long pheno hunt.
(no diss to the breeders out there of course, I've never touched any of your strains so I don't know of their quality first hand)

Most of my Moonshine haze were dwarfs and most of them wilted over and died for no reason (Online seed pack). I blame it on the finicky Neville's haze. I don't mind lots of phenos. I'm sure to find a keeper. The pheno I like the most is one GTH#8. It's 3 times bigger than 30 other seeds I popped at the same time. I popped 10 Bright Moments, 10 karma Bitch, 5 Sour diesel, 2 GTH#8 and 3 freebies. The one GTH#8 towers over all of them, it's a Hellsangel dominate pheno, I call it GTH#8 Gigantor. I hope it's a girl. I'm really looking forward to growing the Long's peak Blue, but I'm also worried because it's crossed with that Raredankness #1 that could be the culprit.
Kindly point me to other companies that post this type of information please. Also, if you know of an efficient way to collect data on thousands of packs of seeds after they have been sold on the international market, that would be helpful too. Thank you.so there is no information in hermie/male/female statistics with your current genetics line up?
That is the point you seem to be missing you are NOT a private party in a one on one conversation. You are here as an representative of Ken GDP company. This would be you as a company speaking to another company. This is not personal communication as in posting from your role as a rep you have raised this to a level where your employer may have to answer for the things you say here. Look up respondet superior (vicarious liability).ditto...
Rd, i really feel like a couple days is long enough for someone from your company to come on here and talk one on one.
If i'm a rep or not, for any company, that should play no role in what i grow. I said it from the beginning, i'm a kush head. Everyone at the other site i'm on knows this.
It is no surprise that i grabbed your seeds. I have ken's too. I wanted some dank og.
Please make sure this is what your employer wishes you to do as an official representative of their company. If there is a libel lawsuit or tortious interference with prospective business advantage at least they will have knowingly assumed the risk.it's really irritating that rd mi is the only soul from the company who has anything to say. Apparently i need to post this on every single forum on the net... Maybe i'll get some attention then, huh?
I was very nice in MY FIRST POST. I made it very clear that although I am a rep for another company, we aren't in any sort of competition. We have completely different strains. I LIKE(D) RD, SO I INVESTED. Should Ken fire me for trying out other beans? I mean, what business do i have smoking/growing anything other than GDP gear? Believe me, there is no hate, no hard feelings, nothing.the hermie issue is a problem no doubt but, GDP you really do sound a bit....(idk the word) malicious? in your posting... I mean it really sounds like you just want to run the company threw the mud.
And RDMI is probably one of the kindest people I have met In LIFE! period dude knows his way around the grow room and is a Guru with extractions. If anything he is trying to get a proper answer for you guys.. I don't get the hate thing tho... it's unneeded IMHO
Look I see your point, and thanks for making it. I DO see how it could come across like I'm bashing them, but I'm not. I've simply stated my experience, posted pics to back it up, got clarification from RDMI, and here we are. I deleted anything negative I said to him, and feel this thread is in no way bashing RD as a company in any way. If they want to push hermie seeds, that's fine. They will fail. GDP genetics has 2, that's right, 2 strains available at the moment, We are new to the scene as well, but there is nothing wrong with coming here as a GDP rep and telling you what's up. What if i was planning to use your genetics in my work? Is that allowed? Would i then be okay mentioning the herm issue?That is the point you seem to be missing you are NOT a private party in a one on one conversation. You are here as an representative of Ken GDP company.

WHO CARES? What difference does it make? So if, let's say, Franco from GH, or Brett Bogue came on here saying they have herms, it's automatically a hate thread?
Please make sure this is what your employer wishes you to do as an official representative of their company. If there is a libel lawsuit or tortious interference with prospective business advantage at least they will have knowingly assumed the risk.
ARE YOU KIDDING ME RIGHT NOW??? I openly went on the internet AS A REP, and tested our seeds for all to see. I also pointed out the fact that we had herms in our Skywalker line. Do you think Ken gives two shits that I am coming on here as his rep and speaking on personal issues?
Anyway I am sorry your plants hermed for whatever reason and I sincerely hope you drop your persona as a rep for another company and actually attempt to work this out as customer to vendor. I would be interested to see how that works out for you in your role as a private party.
I'm curious what difference it makes? I can make a new s/n tomorrow and come back here. I'll be the same guy, same rep, just a different scree name. WHO CARES?
Anyway I do wish you the best of luck in finding the right kush strain. I understand how important the right strain can be. It was life changing for me. I was able to reduce my daily morphine intake by more than 2/3 based on one puff of Pre 98 Bubba Kush every 4 days. So please keep up your search for the right genetics for you but don't mix your professional duties with your private pursuits. I really hope this helps as I am not here to irritate you nor am I defending RD genetics. You sure about that???
I'm trying to help but it doesn't seem like I am getting through so I'll stop nattering on after this one last attempt at clearing up why dual relationships are problematic if not carefully separated.
