@BobCajun I hope you don't think the "like Bob" comment was aimed at you. It was not and no offense intended.



From what you are saying it almost sounds like they are intentionally distributing shit genetics. That, or they are incompetent growers/breeders., possibly just incompetent in general.

Cropking is just a distributor as far as I know. Makes me think breeders send them their shot seeds. The Zeus I got from them was epic.

Maybe you're thinking of a different "Crop King Seeds". From their website; "Crop King Seeds traveled to Northern California to find a Dominant OG Kush and crossed it with our Amnesia Haze...".

You are right though, they don't breed/grow donkey dick's, they eat them.

I directly asked them that question at our 420 party here in Vancouver (where Crop King is located) and they confirmed they are just a distributor and do not breed any seeds.

I have tried 5 different strains of auto-fems (Candy Cane, Jack Herer, Revolver, Early Miss & Dwarf Low Flyer) and each strain has resulted in disappointment, including one became male, several others would only flower on 12/12 (other words non-auto), one became hermie, and poor germinate results...etc

but I have completed some with good results, but too many disappointments to continue supporting them

I think they distribute the seeds that didn't make the grade from the reputable companies.

LOL awesome to read this. I gave my ex partners a room full of elites (sfv, forum, sherbet, etc) and they still insist on keeping crap king seedlings going... dark angel, the jack, all kind of other autoflower fem horseshit. #rookies #ipeacedout

A canadian company will surely get my money, Ive been extremely happy with PeakSeedsBC strains, but the indoor portion of my grow I would like to run fem seeds as space is limited and males have little use with me. I will give your selection a lookover I appreciate the oppurtunity! Be sure to somehow annouce your store is live

Seriously? I understand that some of you may have had bad genetics , but like anything else in this community I think a lot of people just jump on bandwagons. I have gotten good/bad genetics from Herbie's, dinafem, fastbuds, and gorilla seeds, and yes crop king. But I have gotten good genetics as well. I don't believe they intentionally sell bad seeds. I got more off the Early Miss strain with better smoke than I did from fast buds GC. Not that it will happen all the time but you can't tell me a company that's still in business and still selling lots of seeds only sells shit genetics. That's like me telling you not to go eat at a restaurant because I had a shitty waitress one night and my meatloaf was cold. Just because of my one bad experience I wouldn't bash the place, I would just warn of what I received. Let's add some proof of your failed grows, pictures and have a real discussion. Cause after 300+ seeds from more than 5 companies I have received no Hermies or males from any of them. So far Herbie's and crop king have the best germ rate for me. Over all I've gotten great genetics and great smoke. So I'm still kinda wondering why you hate this place so much? Can I know your grow experience and setup? I'm running in each tent 900 watt LED, Co2(homebrew), and some experimental tech that uses diffused lasers in corrected bandwidths(maybe the future:3) so I propose a grow off. My 5 early miss autos(don't wanna wait forever haha) against anyone(or everyone) else's. Just so we can put it to bed. IDC really. But if the genetics weren't capable I wouldn't be growing them. I'm not influenced or being supported by anyone anywhere. For me I want to make sure it's the genetics and not just that experience you had. Not saying your not capable, I'm sure you are, but too many opinions without proof make me think trend. Like when led was first coming out. Everyone said HPS was still king. I can personally say that bandwagon was wrong as fuck. I've dropped 1100$ in electric bills, no more heat, better weed and lights that are more durable. So I think the best actions would be to test for yourself and make your own decisions on your experience. Or anyone wanna grow your autos vs mine? For control maybe just 900 watt LED grows?

^^^^^ "So I think the best actions would be to test for yourself and make your own"

That's what this thread is all about. Others experience with crop king, which doesn't seem stellar lol. Yes there are a few that may have been impressive but all the negative experiences would lead me to think bad genetics as a whole.

The only one I got from CC was White Cookies. Vigorous grower and good bud shape but just not that potent. I would call it a mid grade strain. The most potent strain I got was Bubble Bomb from Bomb Seeds, at least the one pheno I kept, some were less potent. Pretty harsh but aside from that excellent. Probably be good as a breeder if I got some silver or salicylic acid. There's a lot of weak strains out there that need potency bred into them.

Well I just sprouted 3 Blue Pyramid, which is quite a good strain too. If I do a cross that would be the other parent. It has the good feature of being completely resistant to bud rot. I grew a couple about a year ago, just didn't keep it because the leaves got burnt by LED to easy. That was when I was veging under CFLs. Since then I changed to all LED and plants don't burn up on transplant anymore so I'm trying it again after reading good reviews.

I meant no disrespect to anyone with my post. Only that I don't know when you pulled it or how you grew it. Mine have always turned out good but I go by the plant. I don't follow the expected end date or pull using some weird trick, I go by the cloudiness. Because one thing is always for sure. THC is THC. Whether from afgahn or from blue dream. The real difference is quality is knowing when that specific plant your growing is finished. Did you grow with CFL? I started on CFL and grew some monsters but my quality was always subpar, and I proved this by doing a side by side on 5 clones each. The CFL grow was not as good as my HID grow. Maybe the lights weren't powerful enough to cause the plants to do what they needed inside. I can say that I have 5000%(lol) better quality after becoming more experienced and using better equipment. I just don't think with out more info on your exact grow, I can't personally put down CKS. I hope you all find the right place for you and I hope you all get beautiful genetics from wherever you decide to shop. Just make sure pride, inexperience or cheapness isn't the real factor of blaming the seed.( Not saying you do)

No offence taken and yup there are things that effect quality in the grow. Just a bit of back story, first grow at 14, 50-60 Mexican bag seed plants, that was '74, and still learning lol.

A satisfied customer will tell maybe a few people of their experience.

A slighted customer will tell anyone who will listen.

im a new grower, maybe I didnt know any better, but when I sought seeds to grow I went with crop king seeds for several reasons:

1). Local, where I like my $ to be
2.). Guarantee on their germination rate, cause as a newb, ima likely to kill a bunch of weeds before I get smokeable product and knowing if it was "me" or "a dud" seemed like the most advantageous way to start, $ speaking.
3.). I recieved great customer service when I contacted them with questions, and that says alot in this wal mart world.

Right now my first plants are in grow; all from crop king seeds I have a cb dutch treat in a drip bucket 4 weeks into flower, a blueberry in soil about a week into flower, a blueberry in a drip bucket 14 days into seedling, a dwarf low flyer in soil on day 52 of whatever its doing... And a white widow in soil (who was my first and i fucked her up right good *.° )

Im very happy and would order from them again. I have had a 100% germ rate with only one that didnt come up for air after planting.

If the genetics arent all "27% this and some other fuckin thing" I doubt I will notice, because frankly weed today is so good, it pretty much all gets me high, plus this I am growing on my own

So cheers! Hope you all have a super day!

Post a smoke report when their finished. All my seeds germinated as well, that's the easy part lol. Producing good smoke is the hard part and for me (very picky) they just didn't cut it. Had PM on every plant (first time ever) and it was low grade poop. In all fairness it was one strain but I tend to move in if it doesn't make the cut, moved on.

It's funny. If you go to this site CKS is the worst. On any other site CKS is one of the best. Idk I still think it's all grower error. I don't see how you can grow one strain one time and call it crap? I have to make a few grows so I can learn the nute needs and temp/humidity and lots of other factors, each strain is unique/each pheno even more so. There are bad phenos in every strain. Like the GSC pheno that doesn't taste like cookies and makes you very anxious and paranoid. Real growers learn a strain , and perfect it. I love a good challenge and love to prove to myself that I can even take a shitty bag seed and in a couple generations I can find and bring out the best pheno. That's why you have the strains you have today. People like me that grew it and noticed that it's not all just weed. Half of the grows I've seen on here were 2-3 weeks from finished and that's because of weak growers trying to make a dollar and fucking up the system. Yeah I've been growing since 83' and I can honestly say I've met more idiots here than anywhere else. Go to 420 mag or fuck anywhere else. This place is a trap of shitty info. I'm out

Crop King is for scrub growers with little to no money or intelligence.

I guess he really liked Crap King lol.

And yes I may have been happy with a keeper out of the six but nope nothing, yes I guess it could have been me...... but no it wasn't lol.

I've grown some of the cheaper ones and they were as good or better than the so called "premium" seeds so I'm thinking for the most part price is not a good indicator of quality anymore . But still don't like CK LOL.

I cannot see how there are some insisting that Crap Kwueen Seedy doesn't claim to produce seeds when in their website they claim to produce seeds. This is from their "bio";

Dec 1, 2012 (Loans to start the company)
Crop King secures loans to start business operations which include acquiriing and producing seeds from around the world as well as web development, packaging and marketing.



June 15th, 2014 (Begin working on White Cookies)
Crop King begins production on taking White Widow and crossing it with Girl Guide Cookies to make “White Cookies” which will be released in the fall of 2014.

That, and I already posted (in this very thread) a quote from their site that states they created "that strain".

Since they deny breeding activity when questioned in person (as stated by some in this thread), then they are bold faced liars on their site. Lies regarding your companies abilities/production/practices means that they cannot be trusted. Unless, of course, you entrust them with a bag of dicks that you have commissioned them with disposing of (we all know they're going to eat them).
