I'm growing greenhouse fems, 3 Rhino 2 widow.
Thursday will be the start of week 12 (week 8 flower), last week i found naners on all 5 plant's no stress at all.
I thought i had done my research and thought i was buying from the best (greenhouse), bollocks to that i now think greenhouse are just in it for the money. Look at the packs for there seeds, pure marketing strategy (i should know my girlfriend has a masters in marketing).
Their white widow is shit, i have yet to smoke it as mine are not quite done yet but i'll tell you what, it aint fucking white! very very little resin production, smells lush but not white. The Rhino is frosty as hell though exactly what i expected, i will be getting some of Shantibaba's Black Widow from Mr Nice Seeds at a later date to prove the point to myself (the origional widow, cup winner), Arjan at greenhouse has won the right's to the name (if you pay attention to their website all GH strains are registerd trademarks!), which is a marketing strategy again. GH are the only guys that are legally allowed to call their shit 'White Widow'.
i heard on here somewhere that it takes 6 years of backcrossing to make a strain stable, that would explain the problems with newer crosses having genetic problems, GH Cheese clone for example came from Big Buddha in 2004 by the end of the year they had crossed it with skunk #1 and they were selling fem seeds,BOLLOCKS!
now think about how long their lemon skunk has been on sale and now think about their auto 'greenomatic', webbed feet and six toes me thinks!
If half of what GH do with new strains is possible then i would be banging out new hybrids like crazy.
BUT! they do have one thing in their favour, all GH seeds are guaranteed viable (100% germination rates) they have a policy that states if you germ your beans just like they tell you and they dont sprout you get a replacement!
