Thanks for the tip about hemp depot!
There are a few for $22 that look pretty good.
Too bad they're out of Texada Timewarp. Woulda been a good outdoor strain for PNW. :wall:
---
Texada Timewarp regular seeds
Texada Timewarp x (Texada Timewarp/NL#5) f4

Germination test March 2017 90%
Outdoor
This is an inbred line containing original Texada Timewarp genetics. Timewarp dates back to the 70s, originally grown on Texada Island in B.C. This Canadian legend has stood the test of time and is a true favourite amongst long time outdoor farmers. These buds are what made the strain so famous. The high hits you right behind the eyes and is very heady and strong due to its sativa nature. The buds are heavy and have a wonderful lemony floral taste and aroma. The plants have the potential to grow very large. The branches grow long spears of buds that are highly mould resistant. This strain practically grows itself outside. Its genetics are very hardy, as proven outdoors. The harvest window runs from Sept 20th to end of September. Yields are potentially very high and are perfect for the Canadian climate.

Outdoor harvest September 20th to 30th at 40 to 45NL and Oct 7th at 50NL

I just got my hoo black dogs from hemp depot in July.

You should also check out The great white north seeds too. My roommate grew their lethal purple and Manitoba poison back in 2004-5 outdoor guerrilla style in Northern Illinois. Typically out there our season was done the 1st week of October, with anything from mild frost to a foot of snow have been the nail in the coffin.

I can't remember which one but I think it was the M. poison that was the tastier of the 2. The plants got around 5-6 ft tall and yields were 1/2 pound range on the bigger plants and 1/4 pounders for the smaller ones.

Very hardy and nice genetics for outdoor.

Edit: both strains were finished by last week of sept.

Not the pheno my buddies had. That shit was real nice. Nothing bad to say about it and they ordered from serious back in 2007 or around then anyway.

I tried to score a pack back then because it was such good smoke but seeds boutique/ gypsy nirvana pocketed my $160 usd. I haven't tried scoring another pack because all the reviews I've read online since 2010 have been negative.

That sucks, I ordered from Seed Boutique a few times years ago and never had issues. Sour Purple from The server fund was one of the frostiest strains I’ve grown.73B0ADD5-2329-4E06-82E6-5ECDAA033B9A.jpeg

I had like 3 or 4 successful orders sending cash but they were all for nirvana strains so like $50 at a time. Then I was like fuck it and sent in over $240 for several strains including the ak but that was too tempting for either a postal worker or gypsy N.

I was really wanting that ak too, lol.

I believe I got that M. Poison as a freebie from the depot. I think you or someone had mentioned this strain earlier in one of the threads. Your post has spiked my interest and I'm about to see if i can dig them up. Watch it be a different strain now that im interested! Lol

I'll give it a go, it has always caught my eye but I've always passed it up. I really like HD it's a solid place , ordering procedure is old school but communication is good. Brad seams like a pretty good dude.

I'm thinking about ordering 5 packs to account for declining germination rates and making some seeds if I can find a couple nice papas. That one pack every plant was nice. More about your preference on where genetics leaned than anything. Those are the kinds of crosses that need saved or outcrossed by someone.

I was curious about these two but was told by a few members that theyre bunk? Not sure but both have tons of good name genetics for offer.

Beanhoarder used multiple males for most strains so there's definitely genetic variability. This approach works great for someone able to grow out a couple packs of 10. When he first released his seeds they were 20/$50-60, so you were guaranteed a good plant.

You've also got to use your brain on strain selection and typical maladies you'd expect from say a chem bx3 ix2 from rez or blueberry from dj. Multiple males means better chance of getting good offspring but you've gotta sift for your gold flakes, not many strains that beanhoarder put out are gonna have tons of fat gold nuggets.

For people that didn't like or think joeys stuff was good had some unrealistic expectations or expect every 10 seeds to automatically deliver the top 1-4% of offspring. C99 is great but it's not ojd's ssdh clone in 7 weeks. It's a different sativa high than the longer flowering stuff. His blueberry is top notch, not dj's selection on plants but his genetics. Heard nothing but good things from people about his ak. I've enjoyed every strain currently available back when he had a myriad of crosses.

I had germination issues with Beanhoarder's ST#3 from Hemp Depot. 1 out of 15. The hemp depot dude didnt take too kindly to my complaints either. Was a real shame I was super keen to hunt through those for a decent representation of the original.

When was this? I did 5 c99 x st#3 this spring. All 5 up after years in my fridge.

I've never heard of someone having an issue with Brad. Not saying it's impossible but not my experience. I've had issues with stuff he's fixed for me.

Ok that makes sense then. People on forums typically make bold statements based on popping a few seeds. Hard to gauge a breeder or a strain by a just one 10 pack or even better a few seeds. I'll keep this in mind next time I'm shopping for beans, cheers.

That's kind of the problem with beanhoarder stuff, selling them in 5 packs exacerbates this. He doesn't test individual males like most breeders are doing when they hit multiple strains for a drop so there's some wading through shit to find salvation.

If someone said "I popped 20 seeds, got 90% of em to flower and didn't find a plant I would keep" I'd find what they liked and see if they're not predisposed to that style of strain.

Plenty of people say they don't enjoy the effects of a sativa the way some of us do and they avoid growing out a 14 week haze but still try something like Clementine and don't enjoy it because their dick isn't in the dirt. Also plenty of people that grow what other people say is good without thinking if it's best for them or lack the knowledge to even understand what they may or may not like.

You've been around for a minute, you have a good idea of what you might like. Generally speaking, I've found plants that produce what I'm looking for more by genetic content than breeder competency.

true.. Its also hard to judge a cook by one meal.. but if I go to eat somewhere and get sick or feel the quality doesnt justify the expense then I put them on the do not fuck with list.. Maybe I ordered the filet when I should have ordered the tuna, but at that point I probably never will step foot back in the establishment.. :eyesmoke:

True and well put.. but I've also grown out DNA sleeskunk and been happy but then disappointed when I grew out some sleestack x skunk freebies that turned out to be from seedsman.. My experience with seedsman hasnt been great fwiw but I've heard some of their newer stuff's been alright and would be open to poppin some at some point.. probably wouldnt pay for them though :bigjoint:

There's definitely something to be said about some breeders fucking shit up that others did well with before them, lack of testing or lack of integrity. If it's not better than it was before you probably shouldn't release it.

I for one love smoking sativas but I don't like growing them indoors at all.

My first and last experience growing a full blown sativa indoor was a single bean my buddy found in an ounce of some super good tooty fruity or something similar to that, pretty sure some kind of Thai. The bud was super nice, the plant vegged great and then I threw it in flower, lol.

The thing got huge and at like 6-8 weeks it just had little popcorn fuzzies, basically like a hybrid plant at 2-3 weeks flower. I quickly realized that the tropical sativas wouldn't work in my little 4'x4'x6' flower space, lol. I chopped her and moved on.

One day I may just have to retire to the equator and do it right.

Oh yeah, sometimes you can have such a shitty experience with one strain from a breeder and it be enough to be like fuck them.

And if I get sick eating somewhere, then yeah I'm done with that place for the most part. Hell I quit eating eggs sunny side up for years, I couldn't stand the smell of egg yolks etc, all because I got sick as hell from eating them. Mom must not have cooked the yolk good enough that time but I was sick for days after eating those eggs, just sopping up that yolk on my toast going to town, lol. I was like 8 then and I didn't eat non scrambled eggs again until I starting smoking pot in teen years.

And yeah I will never grow seedsman seeds again, they're just bulk Spanish seeds any way. I've ran his ww x mazar, blueberry and my bro did his skunk I think it was, all very mediocre bud. I've had much better from the Mexican bag seeds I grew when I first started growing, lol.

Last year. The seeds looked immature to me - small and white so I was not super surprised when they werent viable. I explained to him that for someone international, it took a lot of effort to get the US money order etc and then to be sent non viable seeds was disappointing. He insisted that he personally checked the seeds and they were large and black and started talking about damping off and how to germ seeds like I was some sort of noob.

So yeah, I could not recommend either Hemp Depot or Beanhoarder unfortunately but of course ymmv and glad to hear yours were good!
