Got to say Greenpoint's customer service is fast and excellent! Thank you Jeanne and anyone else over there. Sorry y'all about the rants yesterday~ shit happens.
Anyone got any good experience with the cherry wines though? I might check out high alpine genetics for CBD if these are stable.

I don't know what the fuck happened with my cherry wine pack, but the one female I got is full blown hermi.. I'm pretty upset my whole crop is dusted with this BS..

the whole pack was garbage for the cherry wine..

just had to cut down the whole crop and start new.. thinking about running some different genetics now that this is my 2nd grow with greenpoint and 2nd time getting herms.

a warning to all those trying these seeds out

I've had issues with my Cherry Wine F2 seeds, too. So far I've had a poor germination rate, and the ones that have made it past germination have been males. I've got one male flowering now and have been collecting the pollen so, if I do finally get a female, I can at least pollinate it to get more seeds and try again. It's a bummer, because I was really looking forward to growing my own CBD flower, but GPS was hooked me up with another reg seed pack after I contacted them about the germination issues.

I guess I’m still missing something with sexing regular seeds, and evidently that “something” is patience. I know I’ve gone on and on about that one tomahawk, that I thought was female, then almost threw because I thought was actually male. Today I look at her to see fully developed preflowers with pistils sticking out. I’ve always been under the impression that males show first, and the preflowers look like little artichokes or Brussels sprouts, and that you can identify females early because they don’t show as soon, and the preflowers look more like little leaves. I hope I haven’t thrown out too many females. Glad I didn’t throw this one. She’s gonna be fire. What I really want to know is if you have to veg every single plant for close to 3 months for them to show fully developed preflowers like this. Or if there’s any way to reliably sex plants before they show pistils like this without sending it to a lab.

I’ve had more females show sex before males in my veg tent. Usually around day 40 of veg I can tell. I’ve also had mostly females so ya know.. anecdotal evidence

I think I popped the tomahawk around the beginning of February, and they’ve had visible preflowers for about a month. Now that I’ve moved the cloner and seedlings out of that tent I have more room, and can leave plants in there for longer. I got myself in trouble by trying to start multiple strains at once. More impatience. Now that I’ve got a clone and seedling tent and my flowering cycles staggered I can be way more methodical with a run of 10 plants. I’ve still got a lot to learn with regular seeds, since I’ve only gone through a few packs so far.

Take an early clone and put it under 12/12 light. It will preflower before the mother plant and you’ll know the sex earlier

I don’t see the Texas butter under regs anymore either... glad I swagged a pack during the 4/20 sale.

I grew a pack of Texas Butter and it was OK.
Only one plant had banana terps. It was a weakling and ended up getting gray mold. (outdoors)
The others were sturdy and finished fine but it wasn't my favorite smoke.

That was 2 years ago and I've probably still got some in the garage... :eyesmoke:
