Kens GrandDaddy Purp seeds!

Coolman... I have tons of PM's to answer. i usually do daily. I don't knoiw how I didn't get back to you, but most of what you ask could've been answered in this thread, or others, or even if you googled Kens Kush. So to answer your questions.
KK is an 8/10 AT LEAST... Thats MY opinion, may not be everyone's so that question is very open ended.
Kush strains with a spicy smell? Hmm, NOT THIS KUSH, or most I've tried. This is sour/fuely/Og funk.
Don't pay attn. to testing %'s, it's mostly BS. Again, IMO.
Germ rates depend on grower skill, STRAIGHT UP. People, mostly newbies CONVENIENTLY... will hit me up saying they had POOR germ rates. Where myself, and ALL the vets I give them too have 100% germ rates.
Attitude, Single seed center, Seedbay, ALL have our strains now.
GUARANTEED VIABILITY? No... It's up to the grower to have at least a LITTLE common sense, and hopefully get all the seeds to crack. WE ALL EXPECT 100% germ rates.

Thanks for the reply I actually spent a bit of time trying to research it at the time but there was not much info out. I believe attitude was just starting with the Kens freebies.
At any rate its much appreciated and sounds dank. Just did another search and wow you guys have taken off and your correct there's info out there now.
Again very much appreciated I will give it a run. Thanks Again!

I have been waiting to hear from ya and I have ordered from Dr. Greenthumb. I will try ya again next time. I couldn't waite any longer to start my grow.

So I popped 5 Ken's GDP seeds. One died and the other four are putting out what look to me like male preflowers. I'll give the preflowers a few more days but it aint loooking good. It sux too becuase they are so lush and healthy. I guess I could collect some pollen and do some crossing with the Urkle I already have. I stll have five more seeds I guess I could crack them but I don't have time to waste I need to pull out a crop soon and I was counting on at least two of these GDPs being female.

Well, that's the problem with seeds sometimes... luck of the draw. They are standard male female seeds, but all males?

I had 10/10 pop. 5 males, 5 females.

I got 3 pick and mix, 1 germd straight up, 2nd cracked down the centre..upon closer inspection there was a black little shriveled up embryo type thing inside... 3rd one am still waiting... All done paper towel method...

I went 3 for 3 with my GDP.

2 female, 1 male.

Both females were dank. I bred with the male

Yep all males. all very healthy though so I'm going to flower the nicest looking of them and cross it with my Purple Urkle, which I guess would be a back cross of sorts...
And of course I have five more seeds so we'll see what happens with those but I'm not getting my hopes up.

Edit: After some thought I kinda feel like your answer,"luck of the draw" is kinda like saying,
"oh well, we have your money so if you get all males too bad." yeah that sounds about right...

I'm going to try 4 of the granddaddy purple bay 11 after I finish up some barneys acapulco gold sometime in the middle to end of november.
my question is if anyone has read the german study that stated if the seeds had a min. of at least 4 inches below the seed the chances of it becoming a female is greatly increased,something to do with the root system not being stressed at all.
I'm hoping to have at least 2 be female so I can grow them in 10 gal. smart pots under 1000 watt hps and if all is right with the world and a third one femaled I was going to grow it under a 360 watt led in a separate 3x3 tent just to see the difference,please respond thx

i wasn't trying to be rude at all. I meant when growing non feminized seeds, it's not always gonna be mostly female, or even 75% of them. I would guarantee you are gonna mind females in the pack, so why would you say you don't have your hopes up? Pop those other 5, if you get all males then... Then we have a problem. Sorry bout the first five, but I hope you do find a nice stud to use.
I truly did not mean to come off rude my man. Good luck, and if you have any questions or need any help, just let me know.

I ran the GDP at the beginning of summer. 5 beans. All male. It is what it is...

10 straight males isnt some astronomical anomaly either.

Nope its not. Within the same run as those GDP I also had 5 Dark Star and 5 Tahoe OG come up male. 15 strait beans... all males. The way I figure, some lucky person is gonna score a 10 pack and get all ladies.

Assuming you bought those seeds that's a lot of money to pay to get nothing. I guess it wouldn't be too big a deal if you live in a place where you can walk in to a store and buy live clones or seeds over the counter but sadly that's not the case for most of us.

Not to sure what your point is but it is pretty easy for anyone to get gear, its called the internet. You do have a point in that it was a waste, for someone not breeding, but anyone who acquires regular beans takes that risk and should know damn well about said risk.... Peace&Pot

My point is that if you have to order seeds from outside the country because you aren't lucky enough to live in a MMJ state where you can buy shit over the counter, it can be a serious pain in the ass. but you wouldn't know anything about that. I've traveled to the Netherlands and and to California from Texas and Florida before for the sole purpose of buying seeds or clones. I've never really had any troubles with getting too many males until recently when I started buying seeds through the internet.

Years ago when I started growing it was standard to get mostly females maybe 50-70% but I guess thats changed. I mean statistically speaking the likelihood of getting 5 out of 5 males is extremely low, so getting 10 males out of 10 seeds from the same pack of seeds is damn near astronomical UNLESS the breeder is fucking something up. So hopefully when I pop these other 5 beans I get all five females or even two females or even one female because you better believe that if I get all males I'm going to be public about it. I paid for seeds that one would assume would produce medical grade cannabis but we'll see.

I'm sorry you live where you live but thats not my problem. I do see your point that if you pop all males, one will have issues but any reputable breeder will make some attempt to make it right. If not, find a reputable breeder.... I live in an MMJ state, always have, I dont apologize for that, nor will I apologize for meeting good people on the net who happen to do there own breeding and kindly share. I dont spend much on beans as I dont have the cash to just spend on beans. You should get involved in a smaller MMJ site, be friendly, make some friends and in time you MAY be gifted. If you have gone that route and still no love, there is a reason.... btw I got my GDP gear strait from GDPrep, face to face, and paid for them.... You sound older than most so you should know that, assuming makes an ass out of u. Peace&Pot

So whats your point? I never asked You to apologize for anything, at best I insinuated you might have a little compassion on someone not as geographically blessed as you. But in my experience compassion is a real stretch for most elitist west coast kids who are too young to remember what life was like before you could get a card and go to a store and buy weed or clones or seeds. Your the one who apparently took offense at my post and decided to make an ass out of yourself.

In my experience it is.
