Cali connection seeds what the deal

Capt. Stickyfingers said:

Sorry, man. Now you know what kind of person runs Cali Connection. Big surprise (not really) considering how packed full of herms my Larry got and how watered down (no smell/taste with some manageable herms) my Chem 4 was. Yes, the Chem 4 had barely no smell or taste.....Chem 4 no smell.... WTF

Now this is Swerve's cue to jump in and call me a troll and say the only reason I have herms and my chem 4 doesn't even smell is because I totally fail as a grower of dank bud.

The shit is pretty. Just no smell, taste, or potency.

CC's watered down Chem 4 (ps... These are the fems I'm talking about, I have no opinion of the regs)

stop crying like a lil crybaby fag looks like you got a faulty pack w/ some hermies.. or light leaks in flower, prolly ur fault

Swerve said himself in a thread over at his forums that Big Buddha had the Tahoe too. That thread has disappeared and now he's saying big buddha's tahoe is fake. Why? Because Big Buddha's tahoe is less than 1/2 the price of CC's tahoe. And I'll bet anything it was femmed a lot better than swerve's stuff.

I have a thread i started and he posted in, Swerve says he just believes people should consider the fact that he has been growing OG since way back in the 90's, and Big Buddah has just now all of a sudden popped up a strain with the same name as Swerve's here in 2011/2012. He had a bit of a point, kinda... he said: wouldnt you rather buy your OG from someone who's been tokin' on it since 96? or someone who just started in 2k11? and he has a point, but one could argue that either way. technically u could buy a pack of a strain, grow all of them out and pick one or two to breed with. that may not make it "the original" but its still the same line of genes... personally the whole arguement between the Tahoe OG's turned me completely off from the strain all together.
And to top it all i was fucking pissed when i realized that IS NOT swerve's pic for that buddah tahoe on attitude. thats from a colorado dispensary. thats why the description says " ..........a pure selected tahoe OG" its cuz he's refering to the PIC NOT THE STRAIN. that strain should be CLEARLY LABELED as the LOUIE XIII x TAHOE OG. which is what it is. at first i thought it was just an awesome phenotype of Tahoe OG that was super frosty. and i almost bought the seeds, until i went online and read on about this crap. im kinda mad that someone who charges so much would be so loose with his descriptions. when he rattles on and on about how he breeds those SFV OG kush's.

also... i personally believe that the whole OG line is very very sesceptible to hermies. thats not Swerve's fault at all IMO. the original Chemdawg seeds could have been the product of hermies making seeds on a plant... i just CAN NOT WAIT until another strain comes along and shuts up the whole OG craze...
OG is NOT the strongest stuff out there folks... just one of the most pungent smelling, and one the most popular. I know im gonna hear it for saying this, but ive had cheap ass seeds from companies like Nirvana produce way better buds than the OG kush i see. go try nirvana chrystal!
but if u truely want an official OG strain, you probably should keep Cali Connection in mind. i certainly dont blame swerve for any bad genetics AT ALL. i just didnt like how the pic for buddah tahoe wasnt right...

Prolly ur crackhead parents fault you're a fucking idiot.

btw i know what u mean captsticky.... my GHS super lemon, and my GHS bubba kush were the SAME WAY!! they were beautiful and covered in resin... but they had zero taste and ZERO high. i had a plant from seeds i tried to breed myself from some strains i liked, that plant ended up like that too... no taste, zero high... even tasted like grass outta the volcano after liek 2-3 weeks of drying and cureing... that never ever happens. almost any poopy buds will taste at least a lil in the volcano, but not those strains. so that can totally happen! plus i know for a fact that just cuz a plant is covered in resin doesnt mean its full of thc. sometimes the plant with less visable resin will be the much more potent plant

not sure what the arguments are about, swerve posted on riu himself, that he knew about hemmy issues with some of his fem seeds anyway, i remember reading the post
he said, his method was not the problem as it was the same method used by DNA genetics (STS) and they helped him with it,
he said he had some bad luck with the response of some of his genes (bubba 98 to the method
quite a few folk on different forums i have read have had issues with his fem seeds and some say they have had replacement seeds

pretty mixed reviews of his genes if you care to look around

peace

I have followed this thread. I for one will highly consider buying CC gear next grow. Swerve has responded as i would want any primary owner. Sounds like he isn't hiding but out front trying to make good any issues. I've been in the legal plant bus and growers do run into issues as a plant is nature. Can't be manufactured as a plastic product. Good enough for me. Swerve has stated he is a grower 1st and not a seasoned Marketing exec. Understandable that some are not happy but with all the good things going on trying to get Cali strains to the world without clone only has its growing pains as any bus. Three plus yrs. ago when entering this hobby we had only old strains. Thanks Swerve for you're effort.....winner in my book.

NO OFFENSE TO YOU OR SWERVE! BUT I HAVE "TALKED" TO MANY BREEDERS: NIRVANA, KANNABIA, SWERVE, DUTCH PASSION, CH9. I wouldnt jump on a strain just cuz the breeder responded to your questions. IMO cali connection stuff is WAY promoted thru the bullshit on here.

THAT ALSO DOESNT MEAN SWERVE's STUFF IS BAD, ID LOVE TO SMOKE AND TRY SOME OF HIS STRAINS. but just keep in mind that there are other breeders out there who are willing to make an effort to help answer some questions u may have. the ones who dont, well they ARE assholes. (Dj short)(soma)(mr. nice) id never buy their stuff.
Pato from Kannabia seeds is a very honest, nice guy. he will answer just about anything thats resonable. in fact that poor fella has ALL of his strain wrong at the attitude. somehow they managed to get all, every single one, of his strain descriptions wrong. i had to ask him about the genetics so i could know what the REALLY were. he told me and then i was able to make an informed decision when i bought his seeds. example: MATARO BLUE: attitude says(white widowxLa blanca x Blue moonshine) the REAL MATARO BLUE is : (Blueberry indica x Mazar x Black Domina)... even CITRUS: attitude says( lemonade2000 x rosetta stone 100% sativa) the REAL CITRUS is: (a hindu kush indica found in IRAN x a Chitral hindu-kush indica) x Bubblegum. nearly 100% indica, way way WAY off from what attitude says...

but yet no one is on here giving Pato/Kannabia the attention they deserve. and his mataro blue is almost as popular in europe as the OG is in the USA.

^^
That is interesting.

different breeders have different cliques n followers, on RIU that's just how it is m8
other forums have different cliques n gurus
when these cheerleaders collide you can expect trouble i guess

if you grew a plant from one of the heroic popular breeders like subcool or bog or chimera and it turned out shit, then ofcourse it is your fault
if you grew a plant from one of the evil pollen chuckers like arjan or matt riot then it was prolly the genes or your stupidity in the first place for buying such genetics

live n learn brah

I don't know if any of that was directed at me, but I'm not biased nor am I part of any clique nor am I a fanboy or cheerleader of any breeder. I've stated before that I am completely neutral as far as Cali Connection regs go. I have no experience with them. The fems on the other hand turned out to be garbage for me. Does that mean that I hate on CC's regs? No. I just won't ever spend money on any of their fems ever again. That decision is based on personal experience, not a favoritism for a different breeder.

That Mataro Blue sounds like a winner, gonna check it out. How do I get in touch with this Pato guy? Ok, I found his website. I was hoping for regular seeds but fem is ok.

I grew the Matero Blue twice and it's as good as the guy says it is.

sour og. wuz expecting a lil more kush flavor. but it was mainly diesel.none hermied but the mixed pack that i got with it wuz a joke. 10 of the 12 seeds were male lol talk about bad luck. i still have 2 left that i havent germinated. hope i get atleast 1 female.

lmao @ this awesome thread, but seriously I can chime in on 2 of the points, first kannabia's mataro blue and power skunk(sk#1 x black domina) are great strains as i grew both in mir gro potting mix with nothing but fresh water in veg an a lil jacks classic in flower an got nice buds! Second cali connects gear does have some fire but there is too much variation an phenos for my liking. I mean for the price i could buy 2 packs of cheaper beans an have twice as much chance of finding a mother. BTW i grew larry og,corleone kush an jamaican me crazy from cali connect

wow a whole lot of fresh air seemed to flow thru here all of a sudden

yeah more power to Swerve all day long... i just dont ever like seeing prices that high, UGORG, Mosca, Karma, Rare dankness, and many more are just as guilty of high prices.

that doesnt mean anything bad about their gear, just their prices...

in fact it would be great to see some OG's all grown in the same enviroment together to compare. Im sure by now there has to be some wonderful phenos floating around.

DJ Short might not be online, that doesn't mean he doesn't speak or do Q&As after his talkings. and Mr Nice Seeds has their own forum where you can talk to the breeders.

so. just because people are visiting the forums that you visit, you refuse to buy their gear? thats pretty retarded buddy

i will buy from any breeder if a strain takes my fancy weather the breeders are popular or not
i have never grown any GHS seeds, so i would not jump on the bandwagon and call them shit .. like many folk do
since most of their stuff is fem which im not so keen on, ive always run regular seeds, not that fems are all bad, im just more comfortable with regular seeds
the GHS strains do not appeal to me

that does not mean some other grower couldn't find something from GHS that they like .. i am happy to accept it just a personal preference

cali connection has followers and haters it would seem, i have never grown out any of their strains, some of them do appeal to me, and im sure ill try some (REGULAR SEEDS) in the future
regardless of what others say about them

peace

I've grown GHS its shit.

I'm smoking some Blackwater right now, and it is fantastic. The plant however suffered disease and I lose 2/3rds of it. Its too bad because the smoke is great.

did u get the purple pheno? I found mine to be great smoke, great color (solid purp) but a little lacking in the density dept. It's not sativa bad, but it's no afgan breed that's for sure.
