Does mean gene always give freebies with his orders? Just asking cause he's selling his root beer freeze directly for $10 more than vip at speakeasy is about to release them at and speakeasy always throws a pack in with every order so it'd be cheaper and get more to go through a seedbank if he doesn't offer any of his own freebies with it.
I ordered a pack of freeborn from speakeasy and didn’t get a freebie pack of anything. I’m fine with that as I got what I ordered and don’t expect free stuff but thought Id put this out there for people that expect to get freebies. Maybe I didn’t spend enough though

Yeah same here with my latest couple orders from speakeasy that were freeborn packs. But I didn't expect anything from speakeasy since they stopped advertising any freebie with them. When I posted that originally they were advertising extra freebies with it and I got them then. Speakeasy is great. Always get my order and the freebies they advertise and pretty good prices and they respond to email questions. My original question was asking if I order direct from mean gene if he gives freebies instead of ordering through speakeasy.

Yes that was a little different. When you get usually free seeds or stickers or something its felt weird. At the time I was just glad to get my hands on a pack as they were kinda hard for me to find at a normal price. I have a few ladies flowering so we will soon see some results and have more than half the pack left .

Love Speakeasy. Regret buying gear from Freeborn. I've been trying for a while to get him to answer a couple of questions on IG. The guy won't even accept follow requests. I'll stick with breeders who don't think that their shit doesn't stink and aren't above answering some questions from customers that spend good cash.

Ever think they might be busy? You realize breeding requires growing and maintaining a shit load of plants right?

You don't need as many plants as some seem to think. Many outfits are just doing crosses of two different strains which only requires two plants. Seeds are easy to make. You can pull thousands of seeds from one plant grown in a 2x2 tent.

Some outfits do use large numbers of plants and spend years working on strains but many are just chucking pollen and not following any actual plant breeding methodology. Dumping pollen from one polyhybrid on another polyhybrid is really not breeding. The term breeding gets tossed around rather loosely these days.

You’re right, but the seed maker we’re talking about is actually a breeder.

(HPK x Jaro)
i just know this one is gonna be kill

here's a copy paste smoke report:
Smoking on the Lime 1 x Jaro i kept from the pheno hunt, so this was the second time running it, was cut earlier than the other plants, at different days to find the perfect harvest day, but for the most part it was cut 40 to 45 days ago today and dried in shitty conditions in about 10-12 days, it’s super awesome i’m glad i kept it, and re-running it right now for the 3rd time along guerilla fume 3 and 4 and my old soul clone


i really like the high, that’s my uppity vibe smoke, decent potency, the jar smell isn’t all that but in a bag in my backpack skunky stank will reek a car up, and when you break a nug open there’s the crazy smell, a unlit hit on a joint is crazy you don’t even want to light it, the flavor translates in the smoke really good, amazing with tobacco too, this is how i’d describe the flavor the way it taste today, lemon meringue pie and amaretto, with a og gas aftertaste, it’s nutty, it’s very “sweet and sour” like a amaretto sour, i only pulled 6 good seeds from her, she was hit with a guerilla fume male

I grow my plants really small, sometimes as early 21 days from germination. That being said I don't find they get too tall or too crazy. The Coca Cola x Jaro which are similar were taller. The root freeze has beautiful structure id say more on the indica side but obviously still hybrid. They all had very similar structures.

Here's the structure of the most rootbeer pheno I found. Really accurate rootbeer terps and no sweetness to her. Super terpy although they really were all super terpy.

Getting a whole new set of freeborn strains for 2023, I'll be documenting them on instagram @privatebreeds if anyone's interested. All new ones that he recently made and haven't been

Will any of these be available to the public at a later date? Definitely would be interested

Environ 30 minutes de QC.

I think Gene wants to work the Turkey more before releasing it. The phenos I look for are absolutely pure insanity terp wise. Actual Turkey meat terps that are crazy pungent. It's really unique. Currently using some reversed pollen of different strains on some turkey phenos.
