Hey all.
Well I just stumbled upon this archive thread, and I must say that I am a fan. The vigor and explosive growth of their gear I'm running, is... vigorous and explosive... haha... Oh god, that actually made me laugh abit, I'm getting old.
Anyway, I'm in southern Oregon, and my outdoor girls are turning into big 'uns.
Outta 12 seeds of each of the two strains I'm runnin from Archive, I got 5 female Oregon Lemons and 6 female Grape Smugglers (keeping several of the males from each strain around for stock)... and here's one of the big girls... pic is over a month old, it's about three times that size now.
Pictured below is a Grape Smugglers... Nice kinda pine tree profile...

Here's a huge Oregon Lemons... Poised to yield about 6-7 lbs.

Lots of pheno variation among the females...
Below, another grape smugglers (it's the one to the right, with only half of it in frame... the one in the foreground is a blueberry fuel from sour seeds) not at all like the first one I pictured. This one is a perfect pom-pom, and with no pruning, just it's natural profile... Month old photo, these are all monsters now. I'll try and post tomorrow with updated photos of these beasts.

Have you smoked any of the Oregon lemons before? I'm interested at how terpy it really is. Beautiful grow by the way !! I like how you have so many different profiles. The lemon is a monster dude!!

hi bro, im very interested in the FaceOff OG, Archive has used it in many crosses, most notably Do-si-dos(OGKB x FaceOff OG), ive got Faceoff coming in the mail right now, with a suitable OGKB for some homemade Do-si-dos pollen chuckin fun! it will be my first Archive purchase, the Rude BOI is a great type too by all accounts!

Figured I would add some love to this thread. I live in Portland Or, and just recently found that Archive Seed bank has a store front just a short way from my house, I think its relatively new. Anyway I have run Archive gear a few years ago with AMAZING results so I was STOKED that I could literally walk there, check out the seeds AND look at the buds from those seeds, at the same time. I highly recommend that others who live in Oregon close to Portland check it out. Its a little more pricey than getting the seeds online, but not by much. And honestly being able to hold the buds in one hand and the seeds that those buds came from in the other is worth the extra couple dollars in my opinion. I just recently purchased chem91 x memory loss the other day and popped the seeds last night. Also they say that all of their packs have 10 seeds but all mine had 12 :bigjoint:.

I'm pretty excited that there is a place like Archive close to my house. I will absolutely visit again!!!!!

How much of a difference is the price in store vs online?

I got the last hazmat OG last night :cool: I love archive & ive only had their mr danks golden ticket. It was terpy as fuck! Only thing im disappointed by is crap germination rate & runt seedlings. Popped 2 packs of rudeboi only have 9 alive, not cool especially when other strains germinated just fine. But I dont care I will keep scooping archive packs when I can.

Just wanted to say my rudeboi's are droppin out daily from damping. So thats my fault for starting them off in reused soil. Although other seeds popped still doing better, its all good wont make that mistake again. Decided on my next packs of archive going to get a few poochie love packs. I love sativas

Here's a little pictographic update of some of my Archive 'Oregon lemons.' Ended up with five females- each one appears to be a unique phenotype. At least one or two of em are gonna be super heady:) and I'll foster those genetics for years to come.... hopefully.
Getting large:) and starting to bloom out, can't hardly wait....
Here's my OL (g1)- big girl. Nice round Pom Pom shape.

My home medical grow is in a bunch of sectional plots in the clearing around my house, not in single big flat plot in neat rows, like corn and other cash crops. Since I always start from seed, I typically end up with various phenotypes within a single strain. With making seed stock every year and trying to log each plants growth structure and rate, I need to keep plants distinct from one another... I don't want to just have five unique phenotypes of Oregon Lemons all labelled OL, so I label my plants initial wise according to strain.... so Oregon Lemons is OL... and following the strain initials is a letter and number in parentheticals. The letter stands for a particular plot.... my plot in my old veg garden(g), hay bales or raised boxes(b), my hillside(h), etc... and the number that follows the plot letter is to distinguish multiples of the same strain within a single plot... so I might have several Oregon lemons in my garden plot, and I'd identify them as OL(g1), OL(g2), OL(g3) etc....
Just thought I'd share my labelling system, not sure why, just felt compelled to... Maybe someone has an easier way they might be prompted to share?
Anyways, back to the Archive 'Oregon Lemons' shots....
Here's my OL(g2)... Little different structure, more apical dominant... a little more of that kinda classic pine tree shape...
image.jpeg
Another lovely OL(p1)

And here's an over month old photo of an OL monster. Gotta get an updated shot to show the enormity of OL(b1)...
image.jpeg
I'll do an update of my grape smugglers next time.
Hope everyone's grow is going great, and be safe everyone.
A nice panaroma of my med. grow in southern Oregon.... many of these beast are Archive gear or descendants of:)
Retract... Couldn't get the panorama to load... Here's a decent shot with my pop in frame...

Just realized this probably wasn't the appropriate thread for my thrilling strain and phenotype labelling system.... Whoops.
But, yeah, I'm cool with Archive's gear for sure.

Sucks dude

This exact same thing happened to me with about 4 packs of Archive seeds. They all just dampened off except a few. Definitely grower error , moving into a new spot and not cleaning enough mixed with tainted compost did it for me..Lost faceoffbx2, grimace, casper, and racefuel.

Still have two packs of Kirkwood, Hellraiser, and Valley girl.
I need to run them soon. the survivors out of my Racefuel were some straight heat though. One was a keeper, grows three times faster than blue dream, and stacks big gassy golf balls. proper name for sure.

Sorry for your loss...I really wish though that they would drop the Casper and the grimace again! Paid for a few packs to a certain seed bank that said they were taking pre orders for a drop that never happened. Then greedy line's dumb ass got a handful and taxes the shit outta them. Know this isn't the thread to torch the dude, but Greenline Organic seedbank is a douche bag of the highest order! Now he's dropping his own line at 150 a pack. No work at all done either, he just used a sunset sherbet male and hit elite clones. The same thing he's always trashing others for doing...fuuuuck him! I'll get my Archive elsewhere!
