Go for the Hazeman and get two crosses that has GGG gear in them that way you can experience both until you can get a pack off GGG. Tbh I would get GGG cus it seems like Hazeman gear is more widely available than GGG especially with the more limited strains. My only beef with GGG is price and too limited stock on certain strains but quality can't be massed produced always

I totally get where you're coming from, but everything I'm interested in from GGG is out of stock and doubtful if it will be re-released and I don't like that. But if I find a good deal or a promo for GGG, I'll throw down the duckies to score some.

I feel the "limited releases" are jus marketing ploys to drive up demand. I mean if I can use a tiny amount of pollen and get 1000+ beans off sides branches of 3 mid size indoor plants, then I'm sure a breeder with a warehouse and huge males and female bushes can score 100,000 plus beans per run no problem.

The Greenpool has GGG gear in stock and lots of the newer releases too. Hope that you find what your looking for over there as they have pretty much all the new and semi-new stuff in stock. Just put in order for a few strains that have been out of stock everywhere else

That's one thing both Bodhi and Gage have in common... you snooze, you lose. Unfortunately these guys do not have warehouses, and they run tests and supply dispensaries and are limited by the law etc etc etc. Boutique genetics. For mass produced, we have the Dutch.

That's kind of what I was getting at. If they're limited by factors like this, then when have 50 strains in your stable and why make beans that will never be offered again. Just have two good plants and cross them and then let them go after people have grown a curiosity towards them? I mean it makes sense, dollars and cents. lol.

Again, I'm not trying to besmirch either's fine name, just a pet peeve I have with the current seed market. But the market reflects demand and these cats are doing it so they know a lot more than me in this regard.

Sorry, I'll digress no further. I do plan on picking up some gear from both bodhi and GGG in the next month or so when I pick up some beans for 4/20.

Yea I understand where you coming from and I hate it too but the thing with cannabis everyone is trying to create the next best thing so some crosses get moved on very quick while some will stay around longer. Plus I think with some breeders like GGG if it doesn't meet specific standards they move on too.

Hamish I can say this about Bodhi his strains are restocked a lot more than GGG. You have a better chance of getting something from him than GGG

@Flaming Pie do you mainline those girls or just top a few times, i need to know your secret your girls are always super stacked

From what I see in her pics is she lollipops and removes the small shoots so all the energy is focused up top but I'm very interested to know whats her secret too. Looks like she also uses the whole read of light and I don't think her light is air cooled either so that may be why her buds are nice and chunky. I've seen some great stuff done with bare bulbs

I mainline for 8 and then snip all secondary growth until 2 weeks into flower. I snip it off as soon as it is big enough to snip. I only do the day of or next after watering.

It makes it so the buds are very similar in size and density. Makes it easier to dry.

It's better to snip a little at a time and after watering as it results in the least amount of stress for the plant.

I am considering snipping right before lights out as that did great for topping.

I think because the plants aren't photosynthesizing they can focus all their energy on healing themselves.

A potassium bicarbonate spay for protection too.

Have you done a yield comparison on strains that you didn't defoil? Would be interesting to know your results. Def not trying to start that debate here just wanna know peoples experiences. Trying this on my plants to see how I like the results.

i see this in my future for sure. is it much harder to mainline clones or do you mainly go from seed?

Anyone know anything about GGG "White Buzz" ? It is on sale right now at NGR and it sounds somewhat interesting but would like to know if anyone has grown it out yet.

Shit grow,but all the plants gave me...what I call ol'school pot..
For me,it was like a very,very good bag of regs,from the 90's

Got lots of requests for it,over the mindscape at the time...

Nope...this was 5k og / AWW jr x jo

Not sure if this one made it out.
My bad

Posted by m4k
Sounds to me like the Z pheno of the 5K OG AWW selection is the breeding champ. Had hopes for the JR. We'll be putting emphasis on the Z, it smells like pure heaven, buds caked with frost and terpenes.

I guess it is a choice, keep the popular lines kickin' or keep exploring... I agree since guys like Bodhi, Gage, Loompa and other good boutique producers hit the scene, every little random and his cousin are creating 'seed banks' and are becoming 'breeders' so yes a lot of the time it will be very annoying to run in to 'once off' genetics that are hard to research and get info on. But these cats DELIVER. Gage are getting into making more beans tho, didn't take long for more Golden Gage and Giant Steps to be around, Cornerstone never goes missing and they called it that for a reason. If there is a particular pack you want that is not available you can always fish for a trade or F2's around here, odds are you miiiight come right :)
