Popped 2 packs of Gary Poppins, 10 sprouted. Now 2 weeks in to flower 5 are full blown herm :mad: found balls on the lower branches of 4 others and 1 doesn't show ball's :wall:

Only the Gary Poppins turned herm, the 3 Game Time freebies in the same room are fine and also a couple Ace seeds are fine.

That sucks, their beans aren't cheap either.

bro we are hunting through fem reversals of herm prone strains. Like all the top pheno hunters you need to hunt for that one stable fire pheno....sick of people buying herm prone reversals then complaining about herms lol
For real this ^ these strains are pollen chucked polys with herm prone genetics all in their lineage. Most of these breeders do no test genetics, look at how many strains they put out, you shouldn't be suprised.... you're pretty much switching out hunting regs seeds and getting rid of males with hunting fem seeds getting rid of herms. Only thing I have to say on the matter is they should be tossing more than 6 seeds in pack of fems.

Been slacking with working so much and waited too long to top dress
My friend ran a pack of found some great phenos, great bag appeal, tons of trichs, good color tight swollen bracts and good nose, meh on potency. Here the thing Mike's red pop come thru heavy in all his red pop crosses and the terps with the popscotti leaned real heavy toward the red pop. My friend, I and most people thay puffed on these buds got tired of the terps real quick. The red pop was so overpowering on 2 of phenos...it was just way too sweet and got kind off putting gross after a full session. He killed of the clones after a decent run just based off the terps/taste.

Yours looks great, I'd like to see what you think of the terps. Some people probably like it as some people like real sweet strains. The red pop was definitely a good name for it, I never had faygo red pop soda but from what I heard this is exactly what it legit tastes like which is cool just not for everyone.

I harvested #1 about a week ago, it started out leaning red pop but now I'd say it's definitely more biscotti leaning with the smell at least haven't smoked yet. Has kind of a rubbery sweet black pepper smell, and yep tight swollen bracts solid nugs good bag appeal. So far all but #3 are leaning to the biscotti side but I haven't checked in a few weeks I got another pack and a half I can go back to depending on how these turn out

11 beautiful seedlings of Black patronus with their first set of leaves. I'm expecting at least 3 to 4 herms maybe more but i have a feeling there will be at least one crazy pheno. I've never been disappointed with EG....i've popped his wowzers, strawberries n cream f2, cookies n cream, moose knuckle jockey, moose tracks..... all had keepers

Exotic doesnt test their seeds? Are you guys keen on herm prone reversals? Hunting for the next gg4 type thing? Never knew that was a thing. Surprised to hear exotic just pushing out untested gear. Seems once you get that hype the greed overtakes the business. Doesnt sound good for exotic genetics. How many people here would turn down multi million dollar sales a year deal which in that year barely anybody would have grown the seeds to find out they got screwed. It even sounds like people are happy with their herm seeds. Weird.

he does test his crosses but not like some people. From what I've seen he runs plants of each cross he makes to get an idea of what to expect but he's not popping hundreds of each in different environments to figure out the stability and resistance

No one should be getting 9 herms out of 10 seeds. Thats bullshit fr, even with these genes. You want the grower to make good selections, hunting, but dont place the same expectation on the actual breeder?

Mike's gear has very high herm rates, even compared to other breeders doing cookies to cookies.

Peanut butter gelato was the only pheno out of 20 seeds that didn’t herm. Lokey is killing it with that cut…..it all depends if you’re a serious pheno hunter or someone just trying to grow personal smoke

Actually it depends whether you're willing to accept shit 'breeding' as the norm. Par for the course these days with a lot of people. Thats fine, but I dont see Exotic putting out disclaimers which they should with herm rates that high.

This is how far we've fallen. 1 out of 20, lol.
