It wasn't on the list I bought from. I don't know if that means out of stock or if it's been removed altogether?

Anybody here with experience of growing 'Shit' from seed? I was gonna drop a full pack, but it turned out to have 22 seeds in, so I just dropped 15. Out of the 12 that germinated 3 turned out to be twins, one is a true trifoliate and I've got 2 weird mutants(one of them being a twin, the main plant is mutated and the smaller twin is normal???).

I've had a few tri-foliates in the past and mutants(which I think could be due to bug damage, FGnat larvae), but never a twin and to get 3 in 1 pack? (@eastcoastmo, I think you've run Shit, haven't you?)

Hey brother!! Hope all is well in your neck of the woods?
Yes mate, I grew out 15 shit seeds last year, out of them I ended up with 3 trifoliates and 1 severe mutant! I also got a teifoliate skunk 1 plant from seedsman I think it was...could be a recessive trait showing back up again mate!

Aye, on the up and up, can't risk getting a grow on here and can't afford to move, but gonna experiment with some outdoors. Ya heard anything from VN lately?

what are trifoliates??

You know when you start a seed you get pairs of leaves/nodes. If you top it you'll get 2 new stems. This is when there's 3 leaves/nodes and if topped you'll get 3 branches where you'd normally have 2. I've seen this before. They grow out of it after a while. But it's nice you can top shorter and have more branches. But it's an anomaly.

Shit doesn't come in packs of 10s. Nor does any other strain from MNS. Their packs contain 15 REGULAR seeds each and that's for EVERY STRAIN. If you buy them from a broker attitude for example they'll come in a sealed package with MOST LIKELY 18 seeds. But always more than 15. If you buy directly from MNS they come in straws that are labeled with stickers for strain names. Many times with more than 18 seeds. But they all will state 15 seeds and the rest are freebies. So I'm not sure what you got it? But 10 isn't normal so I'd question if they were the "real" deal! There are a few phenos. I've had some leafy buds and I've had some seriously dense buds. Some with more crystal than others. Leafy has less rock hard had more. But they all had a good smell.

The cbd crew on the other hand is a whole different company. I do believe those are 10 packs of fem seeds. But I've never tried them. And don't believe they have a cbd shit strain.

The only time I've ever gotten 15 seeds per pack was my last order. I wanted new skunk and the supplies were low. Since I had spoken with shanti first they were willing to hold 2 packs for me but I had to send payment immediately. That very same day a single buy it now auction popped up for a pack of new skunk and I bought it. Another auction pack went up also. I bid on it with the buy it now price. So when I sent in my money and template I had 5 packs on there. 2 I asked them to hold, 1 buy it now, and the auction was still open and there was no assurance I would win. Fools were WAY over bidding. It's a 50 euro strain and they were running bids up well over 100. I got greedy and even added another pack to my list for a total of 5 packs. They sent me a long straw which I haven't counted yet. I exchanged many emails with Simone. In one of my email I said I wanted 90 seeds. That's a simple math calculation of 18 seeds by 5 packs. She made it clear that it was 75 seeds. So that pack might be the only pack with no extras. But they did send a pack dreamtime.

i used to buy seeds through marc emry,, ive been living off seeds i bought from him in 1999 all the way to 2013.. at that time i found midweeksong,, ive been treated very well by lewis,, and yes nice seeds of shit xcome in packs of 15 for like 50 bucks,, but at mws u can buy single seeds 1 shit is 3.40 so i bought 10..but also they did not come in breeders packs,, i also bought singles of g13xskunk, ortega,nl5xafghan, and critical mass. i had 2 very nice females that wer very uniform out of 5 critical mass seeds, but the 3rd was a better producer so i kept her for a wile. i also bought i think 5 feminized critical mass from cbd,, cbd seeds wer really good for me.. havnt planted the ortega yet i have 5, 2 nl5xafghan, and 5 cmass but wright now i love the looks of the g13xskunk planted 2 one is just showing sex its female,,love the fat indica style leaf

You're much more of a trusting guy than I am. I'll trust MNS to send me seeds in a straw. I figure there is no good reason for anyone working for MNS to rip off my purchase. They can get the same seeds probably for free and maybe even things that aren't available to the public. Besides that if they screw with the orders and orders stop coming their job could be gone.

Same thing with Dr greenthumb. Their seeds came laying in a hollow ring type thing then placed in an old projector slide type of package and taped closed. And the strain name is hand written on it. From him I'll trust that. But if I got something like that from attitude I'd be pissed!

On the other hand employees of brokers Im not so trusting. One thing I've learned in life is the more possible places to point the finger the more problems happen. Because accountability is harder. I've only placed 2 orders from "brokers" and I've told them both at the time of purchase if they won't sent out my order in the breeders packs I DON'T WANT THEM! And if they send them out of the breeders packs anyway I'll never ever order from them again! Both came in the breeders packs.

I mean seriously. If our seeds are going to be stopped in the mail. I don't believe whether or not they're in a breeders pack makes much difference. How they get packaged after that for shipping I think is much more important. And if they don't want their packages stopped then put them in packages that are less likely to be stopped. I'm not going to get into ways companies get around it. But both the breeders and the brokers should want us to get our orders WITHOUT being stopped. If one or both can't make that happen they're not getting my business.

Trying to decide upon my upcoming line up. Which Mr Nice skunk line should I try and what should I be looking for in each phenotypically?
I am trying to choose between Shark shock, Shit, and G13 skunk.

I'm just getting back into growing, so I don't have any moms yet. Thanks for your advice.

Of those the only true skunk is SHIT there is another ("new" skunk) that's a full skunk as well. I have but haven't popped the new skunks yet. The others are crosses so you'll have to pheno hunt. I liked both shark and shit. I didn't run them anywhere near close to each other so I couldn't compare them. I'm flowering G13 skunk now. But if skunk is what you want it's either SHIT or NEW skunk. If you want a cross there's many to choose from you've only named 2.

FYI NEW SKUNK must be bought on their auction site or directly. So if you've been buying from a broker you'll never see the new skunk. It's been really popular so the price goes right up and there's no discount. So if you or anyone wants it. I'd suggest contacting MNS directly. It might take a little longer than many other places so if you're in a rush and want them yesterday just be aware. Once they get your money they're fast. But communication can be slow.

Goldberg.

I know that Shit is 100% skunk and the others are crosses. But from what I understand, all 3 are skunk dominant. I mentioned those strains because I have already purchased them. Not because I think they are the best representatives of skunk per se.

I am just re-starting my grow after a 3 yr hiatus. (The smell of cannabis plants made me ill during pregnancy, and while my daughter was an infant, I simply didn't have time.) So I want to begin finding new mothers.

Of the three strains mentioned, which was your favorite and why?

And I know about the auctions. I've won about a dozen of them in the last couple of months.

Right now I'm running 3 Medicine Man plants and a Critical Mass. They are leftovers from a few Spring Cleaning purchases about 7 years ago. And I just popped some fem Abusive OG seeds that I was recently given.....but I'm trying to decide what will go first when my new MNS goodies come in.
I've never grown skunks in the past. My grows we're pretty small in the past, and I never had the room to really pheno hunt for a purposefully stinky plant. I also have Nordle on the way, but I wanted to wait a bit before popping that one. I wish I lived a bit closer to a rec state, but I don't think we'll have time to get to Colorado for a few months.....so I was looking for the opinions of a few other MNS fans.

Well I can't comment on G13 skunk I've got 3 plus weeks until they finish and haven't run the new skunk at all. Of the 2 remaining I'd have to say I liked SHIT better. Pheno hunting is a must so I'd suggest popping as many as you can if you're searching for a mom. From the plants I've run of it the more indica dominant were the ones I preferred. Hard sticky stinky shit! But there are some phenos that are kind of leafy and fluffy. Hard to clean and not as good. I've only run about 10 females so my word might not be gospel but for me and I'm not opposed to a sativa by any means but for this strain it was a battle of the indica nugs.

Now the shark was good and but again it's an F1 so pheno hunting will be needed. You'll find heavy black widow phenos to skunk phenos and anywhere in between. But most will be a combo. What I can say is that I'm always running multiple strains. And when I ran shark I had better stuff. So I wound up letting it all go. That doesn't mean it wasn't good. It just means I had better. But I only ran 6-10 females. I bought a 1 gram spring cleaning of it. So there's 60-75 seeds in there. So I didn't find my keeper of that strain on the first run. But I'll be running it again in the future and hopefully I'll find my keeper next time.

I've got nordle right next to my g13 skunks right now. 5 of each.
