Why? Maybe you know something I don't but I don't see anything from the videos to dislike (other than the guys maybe being douchey sometimes lol). I can see dislike, but no respect is a pretty strong statement! Personal experience?

Strain hunters who bring feminized seeds where they hunt for landrace is a crime against humanity my friend. How can you do that when you know what is landrace??????????????

Calling all nerds! WTF happened here! So I have one JC2 non-germer... did 2 jc2 beans end up in this cup somehow or did she sprout a twin underground??

Also, I've never noticed a sprout with this much resin glands on it before.... indicator of anything special or just normal?

I want to go strain hunting in peoples closets that have done this for 20 years. It's almost impossible to find good feral anything outdoors. The genetics are in growers closets. It's kind of funny, because every place they hike too, the local strains have ALREADY been crossed with dutch or American bred strains. Even the locals know the score...

I adopted the Dank Tank glasses look. Didn't go for the translucent colors or anything wild. You'll often see the Seattle crew with these. Here are the ones I got.

They were the one who brought feminized seeds in Malana, Parvati and Kulu valleys. We are talking about one of the potential birth place of Cannabis. I can't really talk about it because it hurts to think of the damage done.
They hunt and look good on screen but not only they have no respect for the plant, they must have an agenda to do shit like that since they are educated.
To even think about what they have done to OUR gene pool for money and fame is gonna ruin my day

Gotcha didn't think about their femmers

Fucking right mate those budz the canabis hunter has r hughmongas, bloody hell i would love to smoke some of them mate

Yeah i didnt think about that way either i thought cause u guys are competion with each other thats just how it goes but i can see now there fucking up orginal landrace seed,thousands of years worth, fuck them bloody people i tried there kilishnakova when i started growing and it hermi so bad on me and that was the last time i will ever grow there bud

yeah i thought they were just going there finding strains and taking them back... didn't realize they were taking their fem seeds there as well but it makes total sense that they would go there and sell their stock to local growers or use for barter... i like the vids because they show a lot of grower culture in other places around the world and talk about how it supports the local economy in those places and that kind of stuff just doesn't exist anywhere else you'd have to go there yourself to see it the same way. that's what i like about it but yeah if they're selling/trading their fem seeds to those local growers and they're getting put in with the landrace strains that's pretty bad... although isn't it true that the local landrace strains will pretty much wipe those out over time?

hey sub those camo-weed leaf shirts are badass... are you gonna get those for the tga lineup I'd definitely be interested

I've been saying the same shit for ages about strain hunters and get flamed all the time, I enjoy watching the episodes if I have nothing to watch, BUT, how the fuck can they give farmers thousands of shitty coloured Hermie fem seeds. When I saw that I could have punched Arjan, how the fuck u gonna say your preserving landrace strains then pollute with a load of shitty genetics, sounds fishy to me!
He's retarded enough to think 'oh, I'm collecting the strains then I'm gonna give em these shitty seeds and ill be the last people with the genetics' and start up another seed bank. What he doesn't realise is that by polluting the landraces now he's fucking up any future amazing phenos that could be found, these phenos could hold cures for diseases.

Arjan is a fucking tool, king of cannabis my ass, yeah he's a king, In the sense that a lot of medieval kings raped and pillaged the earth for their own gain and wealth, he's only the king of cannabis in that sense!

thats my daily rant done!

Daily Rant Cont.... ;p

It doesn't make sense to take their seeds and barter, Arjan is fucking loaded, I'm sure the people would prefer money, or food, amenities etc, before some shitty genetics.
these people have probably been breeding and seed collecting for 100s if not 1000s of years, passed on down through generations, and this twat's gonna go there and give them the bottom of the gene pool, shitty Dutch genetics.

It literally just goes against everything, if this was some rare species of animal, he'd been fined and probably put in jail for his crimes against humanity and evolution!

In reality that's what these landraces are, severely endangered species, it just happens to be a illegal drug so unfortunately people like Arjan can do what the fuck they like!

One dominant Herm seed is enough to wipe out genetics, I'm no botanist, but as far as I understand genetics, over time one seed could cause a lot of damage, let alone growing a whole field in vicinity of many other grows of landrace strains, the first pollination will put new genes into the gene pool and it will never be the same again, pollen can literally travel miles, even across oceans in the wind!

Reefbongwell,

that plant looks brilliant, their the sort of mutations where good things can happen, I've never seen something like that, I'd leave it cos that little one is coming of the taproot I reckon!

keep us updated,I love shit like that

Yeah I'm pretty sure it did not get two seeds tho like I said there is one that hasn't germed still... no way to tell without digging it up and it's pretty small. Maybe a twin in the seed with two separate taps... is that possible?

i seem to remember vaguely something about jc2 and twins but i may just be imagining that..

There is one thing I like about greenhouse's grow vids and that's that they do strain vids with one plant where they chart it's progress week by week and have a thc analysis done weekly in flower so you see a chart of how the thc levels are changing week by week... that would be really nifty if tga did something like that (tho expensive i know)

Yh I heard that one of TGAs strains does twins, I thought is what JTR but could have them confused and its JC.

I reckon that little one is coming off of the main taproot, prob and inch or so underground, if ur really careful with a toothpick u could remove the soil between them and see, but be careful!

"I can't remember who" had TGA twin as well, it was shown to us during the last adventure of the dank hunters, it does happen but it is rare and one will be weaker, was so in my only experience of twins

The twin thing is as old as TGA is we are not sure why but its pretty common to get twins in our gear and many times growers are actually able to get 13 plants from a 10 pack.
Some times as Frenchy said one is a runt other times one is a male and yet on occasion both are females and skill full growers have separated them.

I do not think that you can go back since Cannabis has recessive genes, a question for breeders like Sub but we can all get ready for a bad news I am afraid

Ya see TGA cares for us growers, they can cram two plants into them tiny little beans for us, lol.

i wonder if anyone's ever had a male and female and then crossed them, I'm just presuming that they're joined somewhere and not 2 taproots that came from the seed.

if someone could clear that up it'll be cool. Cos they would be living from The same roots, so a cross would be interesting!

It'd be like banging your twin sister... inbred offspring. Nowhere near as weird as human biology though where sometimes one twin is consumed and absorbed into the surviving twins body.

It's not Arjan that is screwing up the land races (well not directly anyway) it's Monsanto, poisoning them out of existence. The farmers are then forced to borrow or go to other sources for seed, like Dutch strains etc.

Are you gonna grow it out and leave it? It'd be interesting to see what happens. Hopefully I'll get one one day, I've wasted too much time lately on my poor excuse of a breeding project and random freebie genetics. Only month or so to go and I can get cracking with my TGA beans and grow some dank out for a change!

where can you purchase tga supersoil online and have it shipped to you?
