im a fan of female seeds.
especially for the small grower.
running their bubblegummer now.
ive seen many good reviews on their c99.
im certain apothacary had issues. he was stealing photos using them as his own.
quotes i found :
"The pictures for their strains are stolen from DNA, Cali Con, and Sin City seeds. They use real clone only names for their OG's in male/female seed just like Swerve did/does"
"Googling Bret Bogue snitch is pretty funny too. "
^ the owner of apothacary had a youtube vid of him threatening to snitch on people & sue RIU.

Sorry i havent been on lately guys ive been So Busy
Just want to Give Everbody a heads up
On September 1 2011 our collective hired Bret Bogue from Apothecary Genetics to be the head cultivator, because of his multiple Cannabis Cups and knowledge.
For the first two weeks it started off ok he worked alot and redesigned the grow. then it was time to bring in the strains he created. Kai Kush, Grape Ape, Sour Grape, Pezz, Chem Dog, Goo, Livity.
He brought in 150 clones that werent rooted and had spider mites, we tried treating them but most didnt make it.
The folowing week his farm got raided and the police took all his plants, after talking to him about it i learned he had NO SEEDS!
How do you create strains and not have seeds?
Bret said not to worry he had another farm up north in Mendo and he would get clones the following week.
Three weeks later still no clones and Bret started showing up less and less, then he didnt show up for almost 2 weeks
And kept hiring more and more helpers, The collective agreed that we didnt need his services anymore (or lack there off)
On October 1 they told Bret that his services were no longer needed
Bret wanted to get paid for all of Oct even though he was'nt going to work in Oct, he started threatining a lawsuit (He brags about suing other people)
On October 5 Bret said that if he didnt get 15000 by friday (Oct 7) he was going to call the police and warned me and the other helpers he hired to stay away from the buildings next week.
I guess im stupid! I never thought that somebody as well known as him would ever call the police
Not to mention that all he's done since 96 is work in the marijuana industry.
On October 13 i went to the buildings to do some electrical work and as i left the building i got pulled over by Los Angeles County Sheriff
They had a search warrant and raided the building took all the plants and equipment and arrested me.
I am just a handyman!
When we got to the police station the cop was asking me questions, he had a notebook and i noticed that it had questions and responses. before the responses it said CI Bret
Then as they walked me to get finger printed, i saw behind a tinted glass window a video of the grow that Bret had took
So in short BEWARE of Bret Bogue and Apothecary Genetics
I noticed his website is shut down now( probably due to lack of funds)
Ya its just blows my mind that anybody in this industry could do something like that. in my opinion that is the worst sin you can commit
And by the way way i have proff of everything Voicemails, texts, emails,(video if the police return it) etc "
