I mean you can't really blame a breeder because high male ratio, that is just a roll of the dice and uncontrollable.

But I do have mixed feelings about the slurris. I had 1 male that threw pistils in early flower, 2 females, 1 that had an early ball sack. I plucked the ball and no more issues here up through week 7 flowering. I killed the 2nd female that didn't hermie at week 4 because she wasn't very special.

The female I kept that threw a ball early is turning out to be just fine but still has a spicy/black pepper smell with like a fruity tone to it. Hopefully she smokes nice.

I'm definitely gonna put the rest of the pack on the back burner till I see more flowered out pics.

Grew out over 80 females of various lines from him last round. Kept 2 that are absolute gems and worth keeping around for as long as possible. However, I think top quality is a bit of an over statement. Some nice plants but for 200$ there better be a few keepers in every pack or the genetics need to be highly coveted. Out of 20 plus females on a line that is marketed as sweet grape there were 0 sweet grape smells on any of the plants. Infact there were no sweet smells besides a few phenos that leaned cookie. That was a complete waste 600$ on Grape Ape x Dosidos. Some absolute stunners as far as looks that had no decent high.

Out of 3 packs of SFV OG x Face Off bx2 I got 0 pine or lemon smelling plants (but for one sfv leaner that was extremely muted compared to the real deal and covered up by sour chemdog smell) from a strain that is marketed as pure og but smells like sour chemdog as if it was just another OG IBL based off of chemdog like a lot of people he worked with have done and are doing.

Far from top quality or worth the price if you ask me. None of the OG lines are worth the price tag. Some of the dosidos lines are absolute hands down fire and very much worth the price tag, but some like I said fall completely flat.

Now that is a unbiased fair review...His comments on cost vs. quality has a lot of merit. The bad germ rates may or may not have merit concerning certain lines. I can tell you my female count and germ rates were fantastic and the beans were a few years old.

If a line that costs 200$ is not holding a candle to my nirvana gear (papaya, cookies s1, tangie s1, mango skunk) at 40$ a pack then I can't see how the argument can be made for top quality. My Sativa Seedbank Blackberry !0+ year old seeds made the Grape Ape x Dosidos look like a joke in high, production, smell, and taste.

He has some very good lines and loads of potential. But some lines are simply not ready for prime time and don't merit the price while others do.

That is the most honest I do this shit for a living so my lively-hood depends on it opinion I can give on my experience with his beans so far.

PS herm issues imo greatly exaggerated. Even the ones that popped some balls it was negligible damage and none popped balls from the bud it self just under leafs...Like I have less than 30 S1 seeds from my entire run that round...These were 4-6ft plants.

View attachment 4337397 Just thought I'd chime in.. so far not so good on these slurricane f1s. I bought 5 packs knowing it's a numbers game with f1s. However definitely didn't expect the high herm and male rates that I'm finding.. my homie popped a full 12pk got 2 mutants that had to be tossed, NINE I repeat 9 males and the one "female" he did have was a full blown hermie and got the axe. Hes got other gear in the room that's killing it so I know it wasnt his error.. so I popped the first pack just to see how it goes.. so far got 4 slow/mutant ones the others look good but we'll see. Definitely will keep updating as I go. Not as stoked as I was forsure.. I was all in supporting Archive on this but it's not looking good so far. Time will tell tho

I have others from him but regardless of what people say about the punch I like it so I was digging the cross. Def not down with all the drama yea but inhouse has done plenty negative shit aswell so it is what it is.. and 60 $ or not shouldn't get you all males and hermies.. that's all I was saying. The 12 I have right now look great either way so like I said we'll see. I'm sure I'll find a winner out of 5 packs.

Dude that was making fun of a cancer patient's grow and belittling vets with low income is going to preach about karma? How does that work?

And pretty sure my slurricane looks very similar to the in house gear that gen just posted a week ago in the in house thread so the ill effects of all the "bad karma" doesn't seem to be an issue.

Edit, that was banana cake that gen has and its on 572 of chuckers thread. But pretty sure my slurricane and his b cake are on same level quality wise as far as genetics go....

They want to be BUTT hurt at facts. "Why would anyone purchase Slurricane F1's under those pretenses "

So again shrug shoulder. Cry a fucking river about those slurricane F1s.
