You don't get it.
Nobody knows what the pack says until after they bought it.
They bought it based on what the web said -- which is often incorrect when it comes to flower time.
might be worth looking back on this thread, at the reviews, flowering times listed by actual growers posting currently, might help at least to see which is closer to the correct print, see if the pattern continues...

I know I didnt care about flowering times enough to recall, not at time of purchase.
but I do know that the finish dates-the ones printed on the packs- were transferred to my plant tags and those were always spot on in my space.

It just might be that 50-60 days is a default somewhere in the website setup. That or something going on with the site. He has been having problems and in fact has just switched tech outfits. That being said, the uncertainty and finding different info the packs is rightfully aggravating. I bet it gets dealt with real quick.

Yes, I'm sure it is an honest mistake. It just makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up when all of the errors actually help the product look a little better. Kinda like when the bank makes mistakes but they're never in your favor...

Spot on. I'm pi$$ed.

I got great deals, and GPS added extra full packs when they oversold a Butch Cassidy I'd paid for. That's beyond first class.

Still....I never buy seeds when the info indicates longer than 10 weeks bloom time. Used to be 9. I've never ran a haze for that reason, but when the web page showed Hickok @ 60 - 70, I says to myself, "Why sure!". And now I have a pack of beans I'll likely never open; maybe a couple more. Only $37, but so what?

Guess it’s time for me to start auctioning off all my GPS packs because they all have 9-10 weeks on them. Yea fucking right I don’t care when their done long as it’s that kill bill I’m Gucci. I got a feeling I’ll find me a stud in my coppers!!!

Some of us running a few thousand watts care about finishing times so I agree.the times should be more accurate.i don' care how good a plant is if it takes 10 weeks to finish I won' run it.8 weeks is a good time frame and is what I try and stick to.i agree with ol chunky website descriptions should match whats' on the pack.
That's the problem with this thread to many greenpoint dick riders.people should be more honest and just tell it like it is instead basing there opinions on emotion.i like gu as much as anyone but his flowering times should be more accurate.

Man I’m growing in a fucking state that will hang you if you got caught. If you worried a power usage you shouldn’t be growing point blank period. Most of the time we looking for fellow growers on chop times if we’re running the same strains. You know how many breeders not putting jack shit on the packs. Next y’all gonna want the man to come to your house and grow them bitches for ya.

Telling it like it is,is stop looking to the breeder for every damn thing....

If you want to chop at 60 days chop at 60 days...wtf...

It's easy as that,and also look at the genetics you are getting..

Characteristics of a Quality Cannabis Seed

Seeds from sacks gone by are much less likely to produce the type of weed worthy of a toke in the first place. You can still plant them – and they may even produce female buds – but they’re significantly more likely to produce seedy weed and turn neighboring plants into hermies, too. Nevertheless, if you want to plant those (or any other cannabis seed you pick up), consider the following characteristics to ensure they are high quality.

  • Appearance: Some seeds are obviously bunk — you know the ones: those shriveled little white ones that are barely more than a shell and dust – but others may not be so obvious. Though we’re definitely fans of the whole ‘plant-‘em-if-you-got-‘em’ mentality, if you’re paying hard-earned cash for marijuana seeds, make sure they look the part. Quality cannabis seeds should be a deep brown color with dark veining and a glossy finish, free of cracks or damage, and firm under moderate pressure. Seeds with these characteristics have a high germination rate but still may result in male, non-flowering cannabis plants.
  • Source: Established cannabis breeders have a reputation to uphold. If you purchase cannabis seeds from a quality breeder, you’re pretty much guaranteed to have a positive experience. Breeders know their seeds intimately (unlike your bro who found a few extra seeds in his last crop) and can tell you exactly what to expect during the grow cycle — albeit with some variation depending on phenotype — because they literally absorb themselves into learning about them.
  • Reviews: Anyone can tout their own expertise, but public perception of a company’s credibility will always speak the truth. If you want to know whether your cannabis seed distributor is as top-notch as he insists, check the online reviews for a little insight. Facebook can be an excellent place to find product/company reviews, as are Yelp and online grow forums.
What to Pay for Quality Cannabis Seeds

Collecting seeds from peppers or cantaloupe is easy enough – you literally just scoop them out when preparing them – but quality cannabis seeds are more difficult to produce. Breeders work meticulously with their favorite strains to bring out the best characteristics of the plant while breeding out the less desirable ones. The best breeders will also cultivate their plants numerous times to learn about their growth patterns and share them with their customers. Not only that, breeders will know the optimum time to harvest seeds which improves the likelihood of germination, and will store them correctly to ward against decomposition over time. The average price of regular cannabis seeds from a breeder ranges between $5 – $20 per seed.

Some breeders take additional steps to create feminized seeds, or seeds that have a 95 percent likelihood of producing female plants (as opposed to about a 60 percent chance of regular seeds being female). The process is timely and precise, but well worth the wait and the additional cost, especially for those dealing with limited space or plant counts. Feminized cannabis seeds are usually about twice the price of regular seeds.

I would expect a grower with those stipulations to have mentioned this discrepancy after months of cycling @ Gu~ gear.
what gives??
found any that require 10 weeks for cloudy trichs?
a list would be cool
