centenial seeds: roughneck

Hello riu i want to share my experience with the strain roughneck. (Lambsbreadxpurple rhino) I bought a 5 pack about 2 years ago and finally gave them a shot. Of thr 6 seeds in the bag 5 were male! And thr one female i got is now in week 7 and im contemplating pulling the plug on her because of all the herms. Normally if im running shitty genetics and i get a few herms they are here and there and very underdeveloped. Thar is not the case on this roughneck they are EVERYWHERE deep inside the nugs and spread out through the whole plant.

Imo dont grow or buy this strain cut it out of the gene pool! Herms suck!
Specially ones that put out mature nanners putting my entire room at risk.

Anyone else have the same experience?

Im currently running 3 different strains all in diff levels of flower and have had no herms. So its making me believe this is not an error on my part.

Thanks!

I have messed around with a few of Centenial seeds and Roughneck was one of them. My dispensary tried a few strains out and a few of the bags I got had some seeds in it so I gave them a grow. They started out growing very well. But problems started occuring we we started flowering them. Similar to your experience. The dispensary had the same things happen to them. The smoke from the bag off the dispensary wasn't very good either. Rough was a good name for it.

I thought it might have been the elevation. But I have yet to hear of anyone having much luck with these anywhere.

Is this the same centennial seeds based out of colorado? This is kind of a bummer to hear, as I had seen their website and saw them pop up on attitude and ordered a pack of their dakini kush (pre-98 bubba x hindu kush) because I like to support local business and like me some pre-98 bubba and Hindu. Do you folks have any other experience with their strains?

Which other strains did you try, and was this recently?

I know of a few growers who have run Roughneck and 21 with the same herm problems the OP describes. One of them even contacted Ben at Centennial about the problem and he acknowledged it was an issue - but he still sells the seeds! I have only run their Otto#1 one time. I flowered a female and it went over 100 days (advertised as a 70 day strain) without herming on me. I kept a male from the Otto with plans to breed with it but it started autoflowering on me in veg. It was in the same size pot sitting right next to a Pandora's Box male that had no issues.

Overall, I would not recommend Centennial but the Otto is a great CBD-dominant plant. I'll be popping the rest of my Otto beans this winter to find a keeper mom.

Edit: if you want good Colorado genetics check out 303 Seeds. I know a number of people (myself included) who have run their gear and been very happy.

I knew there was a number but couldn't remember it. We ran Roughneck and 21 too. Yes they are out of CO and I think we all would love to support locally but...

Thumbs up on the 303. You will be pleased.

Damn i was hoping i had a fluke plant. Why do breeders insist in keeping herm genetics alive?
Eradicate all herms!

Do the nanners taper off or keep popping through week ten? If like to finish her but i really dont want to miss too many mature nanners as im running some real nice shit in the same room and dont have the means to isolate her..

Thanks for the replys. Boo cenetenial seeds. I will not be a repeat customer and would discourage anyone else from choosing them.

You posted this 3 years ago, so these seeds have been turning herme that long and they're still in circulation? I just had 6 all go herme Centennial seeds need to get that bullshit off the market

I grew Halcyon, which is an F1 of Dakini Kush and a Columbian Rio Negro sativa. All good, no hermies, though a bit of inbreeding weirdness (one seed twinned and self topped, the twin and one top grew buds that were mostly leaf, other top was normal). Regenerated them and moved them outside for a second round last summer. Super potent, tasty and high yield.
