Most of their strains imho are pretty weak sauce and they use fake ass testing to hype some of their lines... they're amateur genetics for people who are unfamiliar with the scene....i spent alot of 2020 growing their line up and 99% meh

Jelly Rancher fems and P.P.D. fems have been delivered by DCSeedExchange.

I hope that they do not disappoint.
I'm not really in the market for more seeds right now but damn the jelly rancher is tempting. Same with the apple blossom; both supposed to be consistent phenos with short flowering time and high potencies.

I flipped my plants ~10 days ago, and I don't have many pictures right now but I'll update. My two magic melon look great and they've been a pleasure to grow all around so far; the caramel cream has stretched the most of any of the plants so far. The hi-biscus and blueberry muffin are smaller because they didn't get as much veg (about 3 weeks behind the majority of the others). They still look very happy and well and I have high hopes for the flower.

My girl scout cookie extreme plants from ilgm are burning, and I believe it's due to light intensity, but I can't really move them much because they're in 10-gallon fabric pots in a 3x3 tray and the roots have grown from each bag through the wall of adjacent bags. They're the only plants showing this issue, though; which is curious and a little bit of a pain.

Pics of my Notorious THC, took her after 16 1/2 weeks flower. You can see even at the end she was still throwing pistils. I didn't need any buds after taking Vanilla Frosting, Hi-Biscus and Magic Melon so I just let her ride. Which BTW all were very worthy in the flavor and strength category, Melon is a delight and heady. However this one shows her NLD type genetics and is knockout strong and fills the room with funk. Growing she was not my favorite, kind of the misfit but after vaping her, highly recommended.

The plants are moving right along! The smell is coming on from a few and I can tell the tent's going to be aromatic in a couple of weeks. First shot is of the magic melon in center, the other two are a shot of a young Hi-biscus bud and a young blueberry muffin bud. Everything seems to be pretty well behaved and happy, except for the girl scout cookies extreme from ILGM which have been hit-and-miss (one plant is very happy and healthy, a few have been finnicky and underwhelming).

The Caramel cream continues to be the leggiest of the bunch; it's been three weeks since I flipped the plants, and I certainly hope it's done stretching because I don't have a lot of room to move the boards up. I have some small seedlings going to select cuts off of for the summer and the caramel cream is again the tallest among them by far. I can't say what the bud's like, but word of advice to anyone considering some caramel cream: make sure you've got the vertical space for it.

Here are some pictures of the seedlings.
In the first shot, the left column is a magic melon that's a week and a half younger than the rest, the lanky caramel cream, a gsc extreme from ilgm. The right column is two hi-biscus, another GSCE, and a blueberry muffin.

The second shot is the caramel cream, which as I mentioned is showing a lanky pheno.

The third is a hi-biscus that's showing some darker coloration and is developing nicely (probably the best-developed triple leaves so far). I'm hopeful it will be nice and purple.

Is that Blueberry Muffins from Humboldt Seed Co? I only ask because I've got some seeds from them too. Blueberry Muffins, Bigfoot Glue, and G.S. Cookies.

Yes it is! Hembra was throwing them in as promos when I got a pack of Hi-Biscus which is pretty cool because Hi-Biscus is Blueberry Muffin x Zkittles

BBM is the best I have ever smoked in 38 years of smoking, Magic Melon is a close second. My pheno is a poor producer and difficult to trim and clone, but the fast finish makes up for it a little. I am working on 9 other strains from HSC right now. How does the Hi-Biscus grow and taste?

My first grow is finishing up, so I can't give a smoke report yet. The Hi-Biscus smells really floral, and fruity, but still sweet.

It branches off readily and shows a lot of lateral growth. I'm looking at topping some of the Hi-Biscus and blueberry muffin I have outside (which are doing very well), but I'm going to leave the growth below the topped node until it's big enough to root the cutting. It "wastes" a little bit of veg time, but the plants are going to be vegging for four and a half months outdoor, so I have all the time in the world.

I just harvested a couple units of the Hi-Biscus... had a intense Blueberry Muffin Pheno all purple from the very sight of flowers and very intense nose...that being said... I tossed it with all the other potential keeper phenos... weak sauce gelato/skittlez terps with ZERO potency

At least Every pheno from fem seed was stable...unlike half of their gear Ive grown... I regret everything I grew from them...its all Novice renamed genetics meant for people with minimal experience or understanding of the genetics scene... I grew a ton of gear from their collab buddy who created the Vanilla Frosting and BLING ..Mr D from Happy Farm Genetics or something... all his shit was el bunko too....

Got some Lemon Larry OG Kush seeds from the crook Elite himself last year and popped these side by side with alot of HSC gear....and it blows everything out of the water.... comparing real chronic to beasters imho

That's kind of surprising, because I've seen the C of A for vanilla frosting, Stoopid fruits, and blueberry muffin samples and they all had very normal potency numbers running low to high 20s.

Put those pounds in front of people who are buyers of heavy weight and they will low ball u till u never want to grow them again... potency #'s are a joke and mean nothing...

First time I've ever heard this about HSC. Everyone else I've talked to has seemed happy with their results.
How many times have you ran HSC? What strains are you referring to? And how many seeds, or how many packs of each strain have you personally run? Not doubting your experience with them, just trying to figure out if it's only a certain strain or two, or if it was just a bad batch, or if you're just straight up calling all of their gear (HSC) trash.

I gotta agree that while there are some tasty HSC strains, I haven't found one that will knock my socks off yet in terms of potency.
