STRAINLY

I'm planning on hunting some good males for my next grow, then maybe the grow after that I'll gather up a few nice cuts along with that Corey just to check them out and pollinate at the same time, just in case they turn out to be nice, keeper cuts. I havent seen that particular Corey cut in flower yet, but Corey had definitely been out and about for years-I wouldn't consider it a super hard cut to find. Isn't JJ's latest version of Stardog made with Corey as a parent? You should find a really nice plant in 50.
Yeah it’s Corey x Purple. I don’t know if the Purple is suppose to be the Kate Upton, I don’t think so. I got the Sour Diesel BX4 too. Not Hard to find? Tell that to 2017-2018 lol. Makes sense though, everything I ever wanted has been really easy to get since I got back. Seen Chem released his Cut in Mass too idk if that interest you.

Here’s the og 18 from savage gardens, kinda fugly one run and done, real light feeder… paid 420 when it first listed, disappointing to say the least. I think he lowered the price on it… lolView attachment 5170001
I grew og 18 from seed back in 2012 and it was the fire. I’ve heard since 2015 or so it ain’t the same. Dk when he hunted that or how it was sourced but that’s lame af. DNA was putting out heat a decade ago idk. how you fuck up a winning recipe but it happens often

He has had that strain for at least 10 years, he used to charge $20 for it.

Did it at least have some nice og terps?
For 420 you would think it would hope it was the real deal....but I guess not☹
It had a mix of berries and gas with a little skunk on the back, I’d rate it a 6… pretty muted tbh. Took the pic at about 70 days, picked it at almost 80. Potency was average, flavor was ok nothing special really. It was really finicky, threw 3’s in veg and flower… never really adjusted to the soil mix.
Definitely not on par with most og’s imo, I was disappointed given that this was supposedly selected from original stock more than a decade ago.

I ran his OG18 too and had pretty much the same experience as you and ditched it after the first run. I had ran OG18 from seed from one of the earlier releases and this wasn't anything like it. I was really disappointed too.

Avoid Lab Hollow friends.

Already tossed my RS11 and now the White Tahoe Cookies is getting trashed.

Avoid avoid avoid.

Look at these poor buds, PUKE.
Could have told you that dude, I don't think a lot of those vendors really have their hands on the real RS-11...that's a huge hype strain from Doja that the average smoker didn't even know about till a couple of months ago. Honestly some of the vendors on strainly are most likely using multiple accounts-not saying all or a lot but in my opinion that definitely could be the case.

If your not ordering from a well established vendor with a good rep then your rolling the dice and taking a huge gamble of bringing sick, and bug infested cuts ito your garden with very questionable genetics. Straitly is a shitshow, its a money grab- all it takes is looking at how many stolen pics that certain vendors use and that should be enough to turn around and not acquire cuts from said person. If a strainly vendor has all these elite cuts and has had them their stable for a while they should have no problem producing veg in flowering pics of said strains, that's really not too much to ask.

This is planned for testing of several different vendors. Of course it wasn't really RS11 and had HLVd as did the White Tahoe Cookies and Blue Cookies from Prestige. Studio 54 (RS54) is better than 11 IMO.

Those are the 2 so far that I can 100% say to avoid. Prestige Clones and Lab Hollow.

I wish Dark Heart did testing nationwide, competition is exactly what the tiny HpLVd testing industry needs. Tumi Genomics in Colorado charges $25 for 10 tests, with a min of 10 to purchase. I emailed them and said they should make 4 tests the minimum so they can scoop up all the home growers with limits who are dipping their toes in the Strainly cesspool. For individual tests, my friends are using the tests offered by Kisorganics, which are $35 and from a lab out of WA-I've checked them out and they are legit. The last couple of tests my friend did was through them, which found the positive Cereal Milk-he got the results within a week of mailing the samples. I just picked up a couple of tests from them. Delta Leaf is behind the times with $50 tests-I'd like to see the price drop to around $20 and then a lot more people would decide it's worthwhile. To me, knowing that my prized plants are free of this horrible disease is worth it. Any other good deals on nationwide testing that I missed?

There are clean RS-11s out there, I scooped one up (tested it locally). But there has been some HpLVD positive Studio 54 out there, thought about getting it from GetSeeds and just testing it ourselves and compare

You can mail it in to darkheart from any state but you’ll likely get negative results.. I got 12 negative results total from strains I could visually tell were infected and it wasn’t until I used tumi that I got legitimate results with actual data. Darkheart just says your clean in an e-mail while tumi gives you a lab result lol. You can order 10 tests from tumi and send in 1 or more at a time..

Either way that sucks dude. Know the pain I had plants that dudded out a few years ago, cost me a bunch and set me me back months. That's why I try to tell people, the juice aint worth the squeeze on possibly getting whatever genetics . I do think there some good vendors on strainly but it just few and far in between now. If its too good to be and true and seems like too good of deal for said genetics than it probably is. When I got cuts that had HpLVD the thing that gave it away was the horizontal branching ...some of the same cuts, same phenos where infected worse than others, 2 plants dudded out bad in flower like they were toast and done by 45 days in flower and I killed them off.

Just knowing you've had it in your garden is a terrible feeling.

Has anyone heard of The Seed Canary? Noticed they also sell clones now.

https://www.seedcanary.com/shop/

I don't know if I feel like testing another big batch though. $50 a slip for Gary Payton, A&B and Pure Michigan.
I just checked them out, looks like other vendors sell clones through them as well, I noticed Babylon collection aka shinobi cuts on there which is pretty sketchy because he was like the HpLVd king lol, ..but maybe seed canary lets you pay to sell clones through them and other than that they have no affiliation? who knows..
