Cali connection seeds what the deal

I ordered some chem4fems a few months back along with some tahoe from the tude and was wondering if these are going to be worth cracking right now due to the recent issues of males and hermies in recent threads I have read. Should I just wait and order chem4 fems from the doc or just risk the issues. Thank you

Hmm well that explains why 3 out of 4, of my chem4 og plants look like they're starting to develop sacs a week after the flip. It sure does suck to spend so much time growing them out, taking clones etc, only to have them hermie during the home stretch.

GL with yours. I don't see why you wouldn't try them, unless you're pressed for space. It's easy to spot the hermies early if you look your plants over each night.

I have 4 other plants that are ready to move in to the flower room to take the place of all 4 of the chem4 og's just in case they all hermi.. that way I don't have 1/3 of my room empty. I try to do that every time I grow plants that were started from seed, I have some back up plants to take their place if they hermie.

I guess the only reason I'm not pissed I blew that $ on bad seeds is because I have some Leia OG and Candy drop waiting to crack and this just means I'll have room for those sooner Weather it's cali connection or fem seeds in general, I am done with feminized seeds. Hell, you have to watch for hermies anyway, how hard could it be to watch for males... should be easier.

I bought two packs of CC pre-98 BK because of all the great reviews I read online. I guess technically that hasn't changed, but a lot of garbage has been brought to light about CC recently. It sucks because I wasted my money and also have the free mix pack that I got from the tude. My rooms are packed full of legit genetics and I am not going to risk everything I have been working for just because swerve wanted to save some money on crap that was sold as a legit product. I am killing all the 98BK that I am currently growing and all my CC seeds are going into the garbage.

i'm growing some of the pre98 bubba fems from cali con atm and they're idk, 5 weeks or so into flower and not a hermie in site.. idk what the deal is with everyone's problem with swerves gear, but everything that i've run from cali connection has been some straight up fire..
idk.. to each their own i guess..

and to the dude trashing his cc beans, let m know what day trash collection is please..

everyone has their own opinion about CC.... i never tried em, but i've heard good shit and bad shit. If anyone with a brain looked at his interview in HT you could see how ...idk ... non impressive (for lack of a better term) his garden or whomever's garden was in the pics... I'm sure they have good cuts. I also think they are dicks ...
.....and to the dude throwing his beans away ....
Don't disrespect any genetics like that.... you could have THE keeper in the pack.

Im 2nd week into flower with my 2 Julius Caesars and im not having any probloms i also started 6 CVK,and a Caliconnections Mixed Pack im about to start the free pack of jedi and finish the pack of Julius Caesars I poped 3 and got 2 females and 1 male so i have 7 moe! But that sucks people are having probloms! Hope it gets better for you guys!

give your cc gear to a friend to find the keeper, or save it for a rainy day...

yep, checked again tonight and I tossed 3 of my chem4 og's out, with one left on the watch list... I'm not so sure a couple are hermies at all, they could just be males, they were fem seeds though. Anyway... I gave some cali connection beans a try, I doubt I will again.

Wow, I'm shocked by this thread, Swerve is a very respected breeder. CC won a few awards this year at HTCC didnt they? I know I know its the HTCC but still.. I have grown straight fire, Tahoe, 98 bubbs, Larry, never had one issue..

I'm not trying to bash CC. It's funny that the OP put this thread up the same day I started noticing balls on my Chem4OG's.. I'm just reporting my experience with mine..

I love the sound of some of his strains, but I love the sound of a bunch of breaders strains, so I'm gonna check some others out... with so many out there CC isn't likely to get my $ again.

ive seen a lot of people sharing bad experiences with CC. personally i have had really good luck so far with the Tahoes, and even kept one as a mother for future use. i have more CC gear to run, and im just going to run my CC gear with only other CC gear incase of problems, and keep a watchful eye of course. but i mean, each person has different needs, i personally am really just looking for one super awesome pheno from each pack

good luck

thats dumb buddy. they could be gems in those packs!

My chem 4 and pre 98 bubba are doing ok so far (4 weeks flowering). My larry is a straight up transvestite. Plus swerve has made it apparent that he doesn't care that his gear autos and hermies, read my sig. I guess just stay clear of his fems.

You keep saying that, but why would anyone want to replace auto/hermie riddled beans. Do you offer replacement with dna genetics?????

I think I'll crack them after the holidays,isolate the plants and watch them closely,hopefully I get lucky with them

No one is bashing, just sharing our honest experience. Would you rather we didn't mention it at all? Just bite our lip and take it? I don't know about any of these other guys but I'll take replacements, I won't argue with that. That is if you really intend on following through. What needs to be done? Pm you my address on here or on your cali connect forums?

^ i wouldn't run a pack of hermi prone anything.

let's see... cost of medium, water, nutes, electric, wear on bulbs & ballasts, cost to take and maintain cuts, lab space & space under lamps, etc.

nope, not worth it in my opinion.
no matter the schlep who made the cross.
if you do run dem CC beans please report back on the experience.

me... i got tons of better shit to play with... so those packs i mistakenly purchased are definitely getting traded away... should be able to dupe somebody just on the "brand name" alone.

and my lab time & lab related expenses aren't to be taken as "oh well shit happens".

here ya go "skid and swerve" this is what a real selection room looks like.

===> even ONE sterile nanner is unacceptable to this guy.
===> which is why you will NEVER kill it in europe.
===> i sent him your jedi kush for a laugh.

& those plants you had in hightimes were a fu*king joke with what looked like PM on them.

stick to being a hobbit in a land of elves & wizzzzzards.

I hear you man, but the larry smells so good, I have to try again. I will report on my experience trust me. If I get any more problems the shit is getting chopped, I won't finish it like I am with the Larry now. That is if I even get replacements, we'll see. I have good solid beans to play with too thank jeebus, I just had to try the "legendaries". Like I said, when and more importantly IF I get replacements, the first sign of herm issues the shit is getting destroyed, and I will report on it either way, good or bad.

bro i got you in my mental roladex... make sure to report back.
