Did they re-release the Cube again? I noticed the price on SHN was dropped from 450 to 300 something (out of stock of course). Why would the price lower on something that is out of stock? And what ever happened to the auctions for those lost packs that were recovered? I know they had auctions for a week or 2 and then that was it, they were supposed to have 6 packs of each strain but didn't they only auction off 1 or 2?

I also wondered this..those auctions were months ago..they assume people just forgot?..maybe they wernt fetching as much dough as Exotic genetics was hoping for and maybe they just took em back to rework new lines with the beans. or shn kept the rest or sold em to people for reserve price (if there was one i dont remember) i really wanted a pack of chocolate covered strawberries and was willing to shell out some cassh..was waiting for the auction hype to die down after first 2 auctions but there were wasn't anymore auctions..i shoulda lunged when i had the chance. if anyone has f2 of ccstrawberries im down for some

The cube wasn't re-released. I've seen the cube change prices before after being sold out. When shn does a bulk sale on exotic gear all packs are affected whether in stock ir not. If they ever managed to snag a few more they sure as hell wouldn't be for sale. More likely the opposite. Auction for boku bucks!

My kimbo f2 has hermed the fuck out and sprayed pollen everywhere. I've been growing for 18 years and this is the first time I've had a herm like this. I've had lower buds with the odd seed before but this is seriously poor form. I've just given a pack of the f1 kimbos and cookies and cream to someone as I personally won't be running any of their gear from seed again. This will be a seriously costly exercise for me, I thought kimbo was one of their more stable lines. not impressed at all.

Here's a few pics of a black mamba pheno. Definitely an indica dominant. It has more of a fruity smell compared to a mint chocolate scent. Does anyone know if the cube has a fruitier smell to it?

I've seen it described as creme brulee with some cherry notes. The box says the aromas are cherry, lime, root beer float.

Starfighter has a distinctive look, that is a starfighter leaning pheno.

Damn I got a pack of those F2 as I missed the F1. So it looks like people are having problems with KK F2, C&C male, and crosses with the mystery cookies. Looks like star fighter male is solid. I wonder about the green ribbon male? I guess my first exotic grow will be a green ribbon or SF cross

Hmm...

I've had this girl for a while, but never new her name (given by accident with other cuts). I've described her as "creme brulee", a sweet vanilla cream subtley sweet berries, and if you're really "looking" for it, you'll find a faint hint of "haze".

I've thought that they look similar, but thought she was somehow related to Cherry Pie. Makes me think...

What strain is that? Is that a black mamba pheno?

@kingzt I don't know the strain. I received it (by accident, long story) with a bunch of clones in 2012. It was unique in the bunch, supposed to be GSC (none of the clones were).

No, there are plenty of plants in this thread that haven't hermied. I have an extremely stable Lightsaber which I'm on my third run with. It's possible the lowers on my Kimbo aren't getting enough light, I've packed them in this run but I'll run the cuts to see if it is a true hermi or grower error.

You're sure to find some keepers in the Grease Monkeys and Kimbos running those numbers of seeds, good luck and post some pics when they get interesting.

Not sure about the auctions but I think the Cube was limited to 100 packs and was never to be released again.

For what it's worth, i have had the extreme lower branches on my kimbo's start to flower in veg. This only happened once on a very bushy plant, the lowers were pretty much in the dark. Never had any herm on me, but i can see how there could be issues with light sensitivity. I have noted previously in this thread that my keeper is finicky for sure, but it mainly just looked deficient.

Damn, does everything Hermie from Exotic? I have a lot of there gear saved up but I've just started growing it, I've got 21 Grease Monkey's and 22 Kimbo's going they're about a week old from germination, looks like I'm going to have to keep an eye out for sacs...

21 grease monkeys?? You will have more trouble figuring which keeper is the best as I'm sure you will have multiples.

Cherry pie has a real pungent cherry funk. That description sounds like your plant has cookies in it. She looks like cookies too... the dark green foliage, extra long pettioles, and the way she stacks and clusters all remind me of the forum cut I ran, but the flowers themselves are a little different. I see where you think there might be starfighter in there too. Looks like a nice cut. Cookies and cream maybe?

No Cookies in it, for sure. I have GSC, Gelato, and a bunch of Animal Cookies crosses. I believe it's older than Exotics Cn'C, I've had this since late Summer, early Fall 2012.

It's not that I think there's Starfighter in it (though there could be, or related somehow), but that "Creme Brûlée" and sweet berries comment is spot on with the nose of this girl. Really "trippy" high, I had a psychedelic experience my first time smoking her (when I had her "nailed", took a couple runs to get her from light green fluff, to dense purple golf balls of magic),

I'll probably never know for sure, but it's fun to speculate her origins.

I'm really suprised to hear people having herm issues with Kimbo..these are the first I've ever heard. I've never had issues with the f1s I have but maybe a herm trait showed back up in f2..ill have to keep an eye out as I'm selecting a few more kimbo this round..

My advice to anyone is to never flower from seed if possible. Clone everything first and your herms will drop by at least 50%..

Yes I'm surprised as well. There are lots of reports of mutants in the f2 but kimbo is meant to be one of the more stable lines. Here's a pic of the shorter of my 2 kimbo, u can see th frazzled hairs on the top, a result of the unwanted pollination it's a shame as you can see the frost is real in this line. The shorter pheno has those sandy trichs in abundance.

And here is citrique. Nothing special about either pheno.

That sucks man. Were the lowers not getting any light? The lowers on my kimbo's have started flowering in veg before when they were crammed in with a bunch of other plants and not getting any light. Other than that they were all solid under better conditions.

They were getting the same light as everything else and I gave em a decent under trim. I just did what I always do to be honest. Maybe a little more of an undertrim than usual as I was aware of exotix herm issues but I still got caught out. I've grown over 15 packs of bodhi and never had any problems like this.

Sorry to hear about your bad luck homie. Usually is a solid strain so must have been luck of the draw. I know how it goes I had a Dynasty freebie pollinate some of my stuff awhile back which is surprising giving their rep as well. I wouldn't let it hold ya back from trying their other stuff though cause Exotic has the fire.

I have some Black Mamba I'm going to start soon I'll def only be flowering after taking cuts with that Mint Choco Chip mom since I've heard she can be sensitive (thought it was her)..
