WELL, IM TRUELY HAPPY THAT SOMEONES GETTING UNIFORM RESULTS... it gives me HOPE.. i would love to buy a pack of seeds that replicated the write up and pix,, i guess i just have bad luck with every seed company i order from these days.. i have over a thousand seeds, from 158 different strains, and at least 40 different breeders.. it would be a dream come true to pop a pack of ten and have them all be uniform insted of ten different plants..i know most people like the strain hunt,with ten different plants one can be better than the rest..but wouldnt it be nice knowing you dont have to pop all ten,,just pop a couple and know if u lose the strain u have more seeds just like it,,of cource it would need to be quality genetics... well grow well n be well,,best of luck
I have used Barneys Farm seeds and Paradise and a couple of others I got from Attitude seed Bank. I am not running into the same genetic problems as you are. Not every plant I grew was great but the seeds were producing what was on the pack. I am running a crop of Laughing Buddah and Ayahuasca Purple. I took 7 clones off a mother plant of each variety and used 6 of each. Even though the plants were cloned and are growing under identicle conditions there are some differences, one plant might be taller, less bushy etc. but all are identifiable as the strain advertised. Are your plants visibly different to the eye, different leaf structure and shape, for example.?

visably different, some taller,some short, leaves are telling me some indica dominant, some leaning more sativa,thin fingers, thick fingers,but the big difference is in bud structure, crystalization, smell, etc

ive grown big bomb, berry bomb, cherry bomb,,, each seed popped becomes a phenio hunt no 2 are alike.. what happend to uniformity? so how many seeds would u buy in hopes of getting ONE plant that looks like that picture above and produces bud that smells,tastes, and high described above??? seriously how many packs should i reserve???? how much money should i throw away??

big bomb,, planted 5 feminized,, not 1 compared or produced like it said..
cherry bomb, planted 5 feminized seeds 2 of the 4 that came up wher keepers, 1 actually smelled like a kitty cocktail(cherry) and produced pretty good,,still running her...
the berry bomb, planted 10 regular seeds,, 10 popped 9 came up,3 males,6 females,,all grew well each completely different, some tall some short, only ONE ended up smelling like berry, but i was happy because it grew like northern lights, but finished a week sooner with that berry scent, good crystalization,, i was very happy,, but after only 5 generations they began to herm very dissapointed as i really liked her..
i planted 2 th seeds bubble gums, both are identicle=uniformity, both smell like gum,, both produce well w great crystalization,, ive been running it for over 3 years now,,hundreds of generations of clones of clones still very strong with NO herming EVER.. over the 3 years ive planted hundreds of seeds trying to find ONE plant that can replace the bubble gum in yield and quality,.. hundreds with not ONE BEATING THE BUBBLE GUM OUT!!!wright now im popping freedom of seeds blue angle, 3 fem seeds, 3 blimburn cr+ fems, and 3 white widdows by sensi also feminized..its been 4 days all 3 angels popped 2 cr+ popped not 1 ww has popped...

i just want to know if i spend more money on bomb genetics if they have worked on stabilizing any of their crosses? i dont want a phenio hunt,, i dont want to buy a hundred seeds in hopes of 1 looking,smelling, and producing like the strains write up... IS THAT TO MUCH TO ASK FOR??? UNIFORMITY??
Interesting that you mentioned Bubblegum being your best strain, because I grew some Bubble Bomb seeds and although the phenos varied as you say with other Bomb seeds I did get one near perfect plant out of 5 seeds. It's actually the best of any strain I've tried yet, and that's quite a lot. I'll certainly look into getting some T.H.Seeds Bubblegum though, because the Bubble Bomb doesn't actually have Bubblegum characteristics, just your average hybrid smell and taste. The high is exceptional though, and big yields.

I bought hash bomb from gorilla seedbank a couple of years ago and the plants looked like fkn hemp when flowering, they kinda 'threatened ' to flower but did nothing so they were pulled.. I mentioned it in another bomb seeds thread at the time and bomb seeds reached out to me and replaced the ten pack, but the other pack was exactly the same..- Popped 4 of pack and they were exactly same.. I gave the rest of the seeds away.! Good that they replaced them n maybe just a bad batch, but I won't buy from bomb seeds again.. Happy growing

well my cherry bomb is going good, not the best but better than lots ive ran.. i have a pack of regular hash bomb i havnt planted yet,, i hope they are not a waste of time and money..
out of 5 fem big bomb,8 regular berry bomb,5 fem cherry bomb, and 3 feminized medi bomb#2, i have 1 cherry bomb thats a keeper.. so 1 out of 21,,,,id say i lost money,,, still better than sensi though, ive planted at least 50 seeds of 5 different strains i had 1 good skunk#1 the rest wer junk

I'm growing gorilla bomb . all 3 females are very sativa dominant. Smoked 1 plant very strong potent female . Hit hard. I crossed the other 2 females with ghost train haze 1. That cross should make some very strong outdoor sativas.

I am growing one of these seeds. Dropped it in Coco on Easter. Topped it 4 weeks later. Lst tied up for 3 weeks till I put in a net just before the flip. Outgrew the net in a week so I put in a second one. I even broke her tallest Cola trying to move it in the net. It recovered but It's not the best cola anymore.

Now, 3 weeks after flip, even with all that training she is 47" tall. She is a monster compared to the other two strains I am filling a 5x5 with. 480 w of cobs and a 4' agromax pure UV.( UV run for a total of an hour a day). Did I veg her too long?

I know her tips look a little burnt but I never went over 500 PPM even with my PK run.

Plant looks great. Love the stretch on this strain I did 12/12 from seed outdoors and they got 26 inches high . your going to get some really frost buds on her (:

You know that earlier post I made about Bubble Bomb? Well, I think I actually overrated it. It was just medium potency, the buds were not well shaped, kind of growing out randomly rather than a nice cone shape. It would foxtail pretty bad sometimes too. Didn't smell or taste like bubblegum, though kind of a nice flavor. Very prone to bud rot and pretty harsh. I actually dropped it eventually. Some phenos did stay short though, and yielded fairly well. Just overall I can't recommend it.

I could be wrong but Bomb Seeds seems to me to be a bit of a seed mill. They take other peoples' strains and cross them once with a Bomb strain, resulting in considerable variation. This Gorilla Bomb follows the standard formula, in this case they crossed it with THC Bomb, which is the same strain they used for the Bubble Bomb. It didn't seem to help improve Bubblegum much, if any, so I have to question how good THC Bomb itself is. Personally I've moved on to other seed breeders, not that impressed with bomb. Maye this GG cross will be better. I think they should have backcrossed it with the GG clone though, which the description doesn't say they did. It says they got the clone in 2013. WTF takes 4 years to do a single cross?

My guess, they're just in it for quick profit, like Crop King, who did a single cross between White Widow and GSC and it came out just average and quite variable, most phenos producing dry fluffy buds. I dropped that strain too. Now, it's Dinafem's turn. Trying out their OG and the seedlings do look impressive even young as they are.

I always hated the genetic crap shoot that comes with growing from seeds. But still, at the same time, I like the idea that you could potentially win the genetic lottery and end up with something legendary.

I have had some good experiences with dinafem gear. Growing some kush n cheese right now from a freebie. Looks pretty good, I may keep her for a bit.

Unfortunately mate 9/10 of the seed bank's are doing it for profit only I too am a keen tester of loads of the main one's and have just had average weed the New one's I've tried are bodhi seeds and I get the uniformity you require I've split 8 blueberry hashplants 2 phenos showed up 2 stretchy hashy smelling low yielding and my favourite keeper is a stocky blueberry sweet hashy undertones with a above average yield and bought sunshine daydream now waiting for them to show good luck

theres always a few different phenios in a batch,,,even seeds that claim to be ibl's or true breeding,, you get different plants very little uniformity

You haters can say whatever you want but I love this plant.

Only my second grow.
Using 8x55w cob 3000k lights (440w total)
1 agromax pure UV t5 run 1 hr/day
3 different strains.
5g pots
Flipped 7 weeks after seeds hitting the Coco.

Cinderella 99 had 1.21grams/watt (9weeks flower)
Misty kush had 1.51g/w (10 w flower)
Gorilla bomb had 2.04g/w and more Frost than the other 2 put together. (10w flower)

3/4 lb for under 200w? Hell yea

This time I dropped 3 gorilla bomb seeds. I will see if the first one was a fluke.

I'm about ready to flip the switch on a gorilla bomb. It was a slow starter, but it's finally caught up to the rest of my plants. Looks good tho, it's short and bushy and definitely lean towards the sativa side. Hope it taste better than the space monkey I ran.

I'm currently in week 3 of 12/12 on a Cherry Bomb and Atomic Bomb........hoping for something nice to smoke!
What was up with the Space Monkey? @lukio is growing some soon so might be interested in your opinion......

:peace:

I grew some cherrybomb a couple years back. It's some good smoke. Crazy bud structure, it was growing buds out of the fan leaves and stems. The space monkey tasted like straight up ECSD. I tend to like fruity or sweet strains. It was good smoke just not my cup of tea.
