All my kimbos stunk- the worst strain ever. Why punish yourself with that?
Stinking is a good thing isn't it?!

For real though you must have had bad luck cause Kimbo is straight fire in every pack you just gotta pop a few with the outlook that a few may not make it. The female to male ratio is great. The starfighter bring the frost and blackberry brings the berry gas flavor what's not to like? Bag appeal is usually on point too.

I recommend trying again. She's the total package and the reason I'm hunting through them again. My only gripe is like I said a few seem to just die for no reason and they can be mutated but my mutant was my keeper last round. Great night time smoke.

Thanks Hooha
Another round another pheno hunt with Kimbo f1's has commenced. Per usual most seedlings died for no reason...par for the course with kimbo lol.

This is the first true non mutant kimbo I have had. High hopes for it. (S)he is pretty vigorous. I almost thought I switched beans accidentally since they're usually funky looking..

just curious how do you germinate your seeds? I prefer using coco to start them in using burpees 36 cell ten day self waterin tray, I have a 99.99998% success rate since I've been using them the past few years

The dead Kimbo is just genetics if that's what you're referring to. Myself and others have noticed the issues with it.

I'm pretty confident in my germination tech. I could probably germinate beans from a 20 year old sack of Mexican schwag ;)

Used the paper towel and rapid rooter trick for the last 8 years with great success. Sometimes use a heat mat and dome but not really necessary.

No worries I was just wondering. I've ran two boxes previously and all 14 of the first and all 11 of the second pack had popped and grew out perfectly. With the price of higher end genetics just don't want ppl throwing away money.

I had a similar experience, but i only popped 3 or 4, and all were fine, and i found a keeper. He does give 50% more seeds in the Kimbo packs, so there must be some known issue. Probably one of those things where the strain is too fire to not be released, and the 50% extra should more than make up for the issues.

The burnt tips are salt burn. Bitches got big way fast and need more than 1 watering per day. drinking too damn fast for that little assed 1 gal smartpot. Thought they'd go rootbound somewhat and stunt growth. No haps! They shot right the fuck up during stretch and continue to beast out. 3.5' - 4' in 1 gal fabric pots. smh

question to the kimbo growers. Pack says 50-56 days. Does she really go that short of time? Also are you. counting from flip or from flower set/end of transition? I find, if I subtract the transition phase out of a few of my 8 wk strains, the breeders time does line up with my harvest date/s more often than not.

8-9 weeks is pretty accurate from my memory. Definitely closer to 8 if growing from clone.

I've had a real weird experience with the kimbos. I popped five out of the pack I got and out of those I got one female. That plant is in flowering currently around 5-6 weeks. The bud looks amazing and honestly really similar to the black mamba. The only downside is that it has no smell. It's not as fragrant as the black mamba and it's a little conflicting because of how good it looks. Based off what everyone is about the kimbo smells is a little discouraging. I was definitely looking forward to that blackberry funk.
