I won Shit in an MNS auction in March. My straw (auctions don't come in breeders packs) had 22 seeds. It cost me just over $20 USD. You can't beat buying Shanti's gear direct.

Yes I've gotten many straws. And they treat auction sales as any other sale even if you're only paying for shipping. ( the minimum bid) that's why there was 22 and not 15. I've found the sealed packs (from a broker almost always have 18 directly from MNS 18 has been a minimum and I've gotten up to 24.) I haven't found a pattern just always happy to have extra.

dr greenthumb 1 extra seed per pack and no auction discounts. Took 19 days from day I mailed payment until I got the seeds. Had to send money order.
Riot seeds fast delivery order 1 - 6 days. Pay with CC. Order 2 took 3 weeks wife had med emergency. I haven't run them yet but I ordered twice with good size orders. And the first order he gave me 2 full packs of 2 different strains. The second he added 3 strains full packs -extra strain (longer wait). Some of his prices are high. (After years of saving I just want fire) I figure a keeper of a rare strain is priceless and if handled properly I could have the rest of my life if I chose. But that's me and the stage I'm at. It might not be for everyone. Long story I wanted top dawg but got tired of waiting. So I asked a member where I should look to find top shelf. This is one of the few places that I was referred. I did no research just faith on the recommendation. I can't speak on what the seeds will bring. What I've cracked had 100% germination rates on both sets of gear. I will say while waiting for the seeds I did do some research. And they're plenty of haters of both these guys. But if you look you can find people who hate every breeder. But when reading posts how do I even know the person who's hating is a good grower? I think many of these guys have "teams" of people who want to push what they like. This is a seed game not every seed is going to be a star. That doesn't mean the breeder is at fault. If a newbie gets a pack and fails at germinating is that the breeders fault? I don't think so but that person will likely hate on the breeder of those seeds forever.

i planted 2 g13xskunk. both are female and 2 weeks into 12/12.. 1 is a short plant with really nice structure, the other is taller w/ a bit more distance between nodes.. both have very wide indica dom leaves w 9 fingers.. ill be watching them closely, still to early to say if they are keepers but looking good so far..
i also planted 2 bcbd the bigs and 2 bomb berry bombs,, all are females, the big looks good so far short squat plant, the berry bomb has very thin sativa dom leaves one with 4 leaves at the node and 4 branches it also has a very weird looking leaf w 11 fingers then 5 more fingers growing out the top of the other leaf,, very cool but weird..the other leaves are normal but ive never seen branching like this,, the branches grow straight outwards at each node like a T not like the normal Y.. All are only 1-2 weeks into bloom so its going to be awile before i know bud structure,smell, etc..
my main bloom table is all cherry bomb, im now on my 6th clone mom..funny how this clone mother is even better than the original seed mom,, after 6 generations of clones it now finishes in 7 weeks a week faster than the seed mom, buds are covered w crystals, dense, and smell like a kitty cocktail.. this strain seems to be ADAPTING to my room and conditions..
have any of u noticed changes,,or adapting from your generations of clone mothers??

Read past posts. I grew it not long ago. It's not ready to smoke yet. But I found a few pollen sacs but nothing like what I saw in past post about all hermies.

So......I decided to go ahead and pop a dozen SHIT seeds to run next. This weekend, I put them in a shot glass for a 24 hour soak and all 12 had just popped open. Each went into it's own small seedling pot with my seed starting mix and I thought nothing of it. Today, plants have started breaking soil and I must say I am shocked. Thus far, 7 seeds have broken ground and 5 contained twins. In about 10 years of growing, I had never personally seen twins......now they are everywhere with this strain.
Any idea what causes this in the plant kingdom? Just curious.

Congrats! Twice as many plants=better selection. I've noticed Mr Nice Skunks have a mutation 'gene', giving rise to about 1/4 mutants. I've had one Shit and one New Skunk give me a twin, but not five!

Talk to us about the new skunk. I've got 75 plus beans to play with.

75 is quite the selection! I only bought 2 packs=37 beans, planted 8 seeds 9 came up. They grew stout and vigourus, grew slightly faster than SHIT. The stem rub on most are FUNKY to say the least. They are indica leaners, with wider leaves and the perfect amour of stretch for me. I think I have 6 females going into 12/12 on the 1st

Yeah I know I've got more than I need. I managed to get in at the end of the first batch and wanted to make sure I had enough for 2 good hunts. I just had a feeling these weren't going to be as available as everything else. I just heard the other day there are no direct buys on the new skunk Anymore. If you want it you've got to win the auction. Plus they say if you want the RK pheno it could take 20-40 beans. I wanted to make sure I found 1. I've got my own seedbank for all left over seeds. I like knowing I've always got some in reserve.

Good to know they will be on the auctions, hopefully forever like MHI. So when are you gonna start your great search? Critical Skunk convinced me on Mr Nice Skunks and the Shits I have budding right now reinforcing that. I can't wait to see what these pre-Nev\Shanti skunks are like!

That's a really really good question. Originally I was going to crack them late summer for an early fall run. However, after buying the new skunk and the 2 new widow haze crosses I decided after 5 years of growing 99% MNS gear I needed to branch out. I was going to start with trying top dawg. But found out quickly you've got to buy them when available not when you want them. After several months of hunting with no success. I decided to picked up 6 strains from dr greenthumb and 6 strains from riot seeds. I've got 7 strains 3 plants per stain vegging now. And about 2-3 weeks ago TD has become available again so I've hoarded more packs than I care to disclose. But if your thinking big. Think bigger. So now I don't know where I want to start. Never mind I've got about 1/2 MNS strains as well.

I've got east coast sour diesel, headband, ghost og, double black doja, hawgsbreath, giesel and road kill afghani in veg now. Almost ready for cuttings to be taken then the final up pot. So I've been scratching my head on what to run next. Sometimes more choices is great other times it's hard. This time choosing is hard.
