Rare dankness/rd genetics

I saw them both at the LA Cup and they sound like they are very busy now that CO is legal. They are building a giant new grow operation (imagine indoor football field).

I only have 400 square feet and I am contemplating retiring from posting!

i got a smaller spot and i dont have time to come on but i still do help is hella of a great thing if you can find good people.. very hit and mis.

Rep^^..........

Too much expansion IMO. Quality is going to decline. As is customer service. Initially wanted to order from RD about 2 years ago....Never pulled the trigger and I'm kinda glad. :/

Well i wish i could say that but i will run the gear but im not hopefull of a keeper.
as for any future RD bean buying, i think not!

I agree they need to address the customer service issues and I thought quality control was suppose to be improved. Although personally I have about 15 packs of their gear to still go through and out of all the ones I've opened I've only had 1 cracked bean, which also wasn't a full pack. Granted I def have some immature looking seeds but I haven't had any germination problems and every plant I've grown has been awesome.

while my retarded beans sprouted i have 2 mutants from that bunch. any correlation? i dont know....

I've always wondered if the health of the seed effects those things...I popped 4 501st ogs, all of which weren't the darkest but the most premature looking one ended up being the only male of the bunch. It was a stud though, reeked of dankness! The best looking seed ended up being what I believe the pheno I'm looking for. The only runts I got out of all my RD beans popped were 2 purple haze males and go figure they were very healthy looking seeds. So I guess based on my experience you can't judge a seed by its cover!

The seeds I got off of my compost pile grown Mulanje were the biggest I have ever grown. The health and size of the plant plays a big part in the seed morphology. The genetics should be the same though unless there were stressors besides size.

The Scott's OG crosses I made gave a mixture of seeds on the same branch. Some big striped seeds and some small white seeds, which looked like the original RD seeds. They all came off of a large healthy plant. So the weird seed structure and color may be a trait of the strain.

What's the smallest plant you've pollinated and gotten seeds from? I'm currently doing an experiment with 2 ladies that are in small maybe 4" pots, the same ones I germinate in. The point of my experiment is to see if I can get good strong seeds from tiny plants and with low amounts of light. They are next to the window so not intense light. My theory is that regardless of plant size the genetics should still carry through fine. If I'm correct it will make breeding in a small bathroom possible!

2 inches:




The others ranged from 8 inches to 24 inches:

Awesome. Did you grow any plants out from the seeds of the 2" one lol? Mine aren't that small and actually the main colas are not bad considering everything. I'd say mine are about 8"ish

The seeds were a bit green so I don't know if they are viable. I have not tried any yet.




Cheers,
Mo

i have gotten green seeds and suspect are not viable. i know that my flaming cookies seeds were mix of striped n healthy to small n shitty. all were nice n healthy plants in the end. like the homie said dont judge a seed by its shell...

So out of the beans I planted of ghost of leeroy all 6 are up even tho all 4 popped tails. Also with a surprise I have twins. So I have 7 seedling in cups. Waiting for the cornbread to pop up so far only 1 did. The girl scout cookie ufos seem like duds didn't cracked yet

hell yea, like!

Were the UFO freebies? Mine were and none popped

Yeah part of the bday promo

Beware!!! I bought some Cougar Piss from Highlife Seedbank in January. Received 13 total beans and NONE of them popped. Tried to contact RD per their website instructions, but no returned messages. Contacted highlife and they said to email RD.....Chalking it up as a loss and no more RD for me or my frens...first time I tried any of their wears and this is what I get $120 down the pissah.....Good thing I only went with one pack!!!

If you receive seeds that look like they will not pop you should take a photo at least to show the poor quality of seeds you received, which I assume to have a germ rate that low would look worse than the seeds in the above picture. For example, I bought I.E.D., Afghan HA, and 501st OG which I split each pack with someone so I only got 5 seeds of each that were all of the same quality. Out of those three strains, I havent germinated the I.E.D. yet; so I can show the consistency of all those seeds based on the 5 IED seeds on the right since they all looked to be the same quality. When I germinated the Afghan HAs, every single one popped and they showed awesome vigor, which I wasnt expecting with how the seeds looked. The 501st OGs were eaten by a mouse, so I dont know the germ rate for those; but the next 501st OG pack I received looked exactly like the ten Facewreck Haze seeds I have on the left of the photo. So given I have received some weak looking seeds and some great ones; but nonetheless my germ rate for each strain has never been below 90% so far with RD no matter how the seeds looked. Please keep the fire coming RD.
