Elemental Seeds

King Arthur said:

I expect a lot, there used to be a time when shit was made with a guarantee that either you get the product they are advertising or you get your money back or whatnot. We are living in the moment where tons of shit is shoveled onto the shelves and when someone has a problem they usually have to jump through hoops just to get something taken care of. It isn't just the cannabis industry it is the whole free market bullshit.

An example, I read an article a few days ago about how our seafood is coming from places that would need to get leveled and rebuilt to be considered safe to process food. They are using ice that contains salmonilla and other bacteria that isn't always found in our part of the world. But they still get to ship their shit show our way and we get to consume it, mostly unknowingly.

Same kinda thing with the seed game. I am not boycotting elemental seeds but I am not going out of my way to spend any hard earned cash on them anymore.

I dont mean to keep going against you on elemental seeds. I was just hoping someone say that they are worth a damn! They are a new company and I think that I bought one of the first seed packs. I started them back in Nov and they are almost 7ft now and filling in faster than the other OG crosses that I have. The 2 that I have seem stable.
I was furious about CaliCon because I spent $800 on their stuff. I will def research better next time. I got some packs that I had no business buying! It may take me a while to buy Tahoe again!
I had some trouble with some of TGA's new line, Jesus OG. I got one seed that sprouted. It was female and it does look decent. I almost took TGA off of my buy list, but I decided recently to just stick to his original line up. I was a "weed nerd" and watched his Youtube show, but I could not get ahold of any kind of customer service...

Not a problem at all dude, I am not mad or anything. I just get let down when I let the hype take over and I end up not getting what I thought I would. I am just poppin beans and lookin for treasure. I don't wanna get rich I just wanna get high! But a little money does help that situation.

I have had bad experiences with the same companies as you but there is also those times when I get something really good and I guess I should just be thankful. My overall concern is people buying into a dream that never was really there to begin with.

I was still a newb when I bought into CaliCon. I just wish that I would have understood how to approach the seeds and the purchase. I mean that majority of the seed packs were not going to produce a finished product. The seeds that are not good get cut down, not just picked over a better plant. When you cut down 75% of your crop, it starts to hurt a newb! There were a couple that I should have kept, but I was so mad and butt hurt that I just moved on.
If I was to buy Elemental or CaliCon again, I would make sure to have other shit going and run the new seeds on the side. Swerve will even tell you to not run his seeds in the production tent until you have sorted through the pack. His seeds HATE light leaks. He will also tell you that your ballast says "Playskool" on the side of it!
On the other hand, my Elemental True og showed male in pre-flower. It was almost like they were full male and not herm(50/50). The ones that were not male seem to be stable. You are not looking for nanners in mid-flower. I hate that shit!!!

So far the 5th element is falling behind in flower compared to my sour kosher and hso blue dream. She lacks a discernible smell and her resin/bud production is behind the other two. It's looking like she's not a winner but that DNA sour kosher is smelling like a mix of cherry and lemon starburst and is doing well in resin/bud production.

I just bought Elemental Honey Banana myself in single seed purchases. I'm expecting a better turn out considering where I got them. I would think that was a bank/distributor issue more than a breeder issue if you got them in single seed purchases (not in breeder packs). Likely mixed up your order with some reg seeds. I guess we'll have a better idea if mine come back as boys too
What bank did you buy from if you don't mind me asking?

Ok so i am half way through flowering with 2 gummy bear plants, 1 of them is a really nice plant, kinda weird structure, the other has more of a skunk look to it and just started throwing nanners, kinda disappointed cause i haven't had a nanner thrower in quite a while. I picked them all off and hope they don't come back, more updates to follow.

I still need to run some sannies, I've heard high praise but have yet to run any. His Jackberry has always intrigued me.

Did they throw any more nanners since you picked em off the first time?
