Rare dankness/rd genetics

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!!!

How did you attempt to germinate them? I know cougar piss hasnt been made for a while so I'm sure they weren't the freshest seeds but you should still get at least a 80% germ rate IMO.

BB how the f did you let a mouse eat your seeds?? Lol especially 501st OG! One of my favorites!

Always straight to soil with all my seeds, RO water, Orca, and FFOF. Put 5 CP in above manner...3 weeks later, no dice. Went to RD website and tried to germinate 5 per their instructions: placed in RO water, shot glass, darkness for 24 hours then moved them to moist papertowel and ziplock, more darkness...2 weeks and no dice, only mildew forming. Took last 3 and attempted another soil run, again...nuffin!!! First and last RD run. Funny thing is I sprouted 5 303 seeds Ambulance and 6 DNA Strawberry Banana (all came in same order)...100% germination in RO, Orca, and FFOF. Gorgeous plants, growing beautifully...don't have time or resources for games, I work with other veterans and seriously ill patients. I grow for them free of charge...my resources are lost. Just beware frens.

Sorry to hear about that I can't imagine a whole pack not popping! So not one seed even showed a taproot? Definitely keep contacting RD about it because that's unacceptable. I know catpiss is finicky so I wonder if they require a dif environment to germ. Do you know what your temps were when germing?

The same exact thing happened to me with their Ghost Train Haze #1. This was back about 2-2.5 years or so. I think 1/10 popped and then that one wilted in infancy. Out of over 100 strains it's the only one that's done that to me, especially with a whole 10 pack. I chalked it up to RD just getting started with mass producing their beans at the time. I haven't tried anything from them since.

You can check quality by just visiting river rock dispensary where they grow. Small larf B+ buds. They do have a nice shop and tons of stuff..just seems like.they are spread too thin

River rock doesn't do RD justice most of the time. It's a good place to sample the strains to get an idea of the potential but obviously when it's grown in a greenhouse or a room with hundreds of other plants it's not going to be as good. After I harvested my gth #1 I picked some up from river rock to compare and mine blew there's away. I had multiple people try both to make sure it wasn't my biased opinion too.

Agreed. A buddy of mine moved from Colorado to my area and said my bud was better than the same thing from a Colorado dispensary.

True..but there are some dispensaries that grow great product, with less than what Scott has.

This is true, but Scott is usually not the one growing at RR. Dread runs the RD room there. He does some nice work but the # of plants RR runs is insane. They do A LOT of wholesale to other dispensaries so obviously quality will drop some on that big of a scale. I know I've had a few batches grown by Scott and they were EPIC.

The genetics are there, but it's up to us as growers to bring them to the full potential.

Wait until you see Scott's new complex!

Rare dankness is bullshit they don't care if there seeds are viable or if the strain is stable they want there money regardless and they'll get it because the market is unregulated. I can't wait till they get busted for the bullshit they pull on there customers and how they do there business. All the seeds I produce are 100% germination rate unless it was due to my error of overwatering. But I was promised my exchange of 3 seeds and was only sent 1...David from Rare Dankness is a fucking retard who can't deal with customers. And Mrs. RARE DANKNESS doesn't know what the he'll she is talking about half the time. No i have 4 CCK seeds that are bad. Thanks for your bullshit. Get your shit together and stop selling nasty ass product. I'd sell my seeds on the open medical marijuana market for 3$ a piece of my agent orange male crossed with Purple Pheno Alien kush. Everyone I have given these seeds too, 90% success rate. If there green there no good, if there white there no good, if there squishy almost rotten there no good, and this is what Rd gear is all about. It's like getting something made in america, peel the sticker off and it's from cheap ass china.

i agree, RD NEEDS TO BRING BACK THAT PASSION

Hey, at least 2 of my shitty pack germed and broke soil. What a fucking joke! And they don't respond to emails either. Don't defend them if it didn't happen to you, consider yourself lucky! And no, it isn't grower error! Its breeder failure!!

I agree seeing them post on IG daily and hearing multiple people trying to contact them with no response is completely unacceptable. As someone with 15+ packs of their gear it really makes me feel uneasy. Like ive said i know from 1st hand experience the genetics are solid and out of the 6 different strains ive popped i havent had any real germ issues but its a pretty shitty feeling knowing if anything were to happen theres no support. Hopefully one of them will get on here and clear things up. I still dont think they are trying to screw anyone but it sounds like whoever is running the day-to-day operations while they are traveling is slacking.

Just to be fair I emailed them the pictures of the cornbread beans and the rep did respond. But I'm still waiting for another email from what moon or Mrs say about it. I was told it should be a couple of days.
Seems like ig is the hot spot now for breeders showcasing because they are on that all day lol.

Good to hear!

Thanks for the info! I know a bunch of the old RIU people are on FB now also. It just isn't the same as RIU.

Then it shows the unfair approach they take as I emailed them with a pic and asked that they let me know if they needed anymore info. I've never gotten a response. I used their email, twitter and Instagram. When did you email them and how long before they responded to you? I emailed them on 3/11.

Update....3 of the seeds floated but only 2 of those 3 germed. They're now seedlings about 2 inches tall. That's pretty bad numbers from a 10 pack.
