Heisen. Your intentions are obviously destructive. trying to tear somebody down, not help Gu or others in the community.
It's clear Gu thinks you plan to start selling seeds yourself. What better way to launch a new business than to take a swipe at competition with a large customer base in their own backyard as you prepare to offer something you will say is "better".
Whatever, your credibility working for logic is 0%. Defend it how you want. the website you Mod on is filled with ads for the seed store, where customers and breeders get ripped off regularly. Customers who attempt to air their grievances with these shady deals have their posts deleted and get banned . . . by Mods. Like you. Great guys one and all, just following orders I'm sure. Not their fault.
You compare the GPS IG account to IG accounts of other breeders. How many of the sites you showed as examples run their own seedbank?
Compare the GPS IG account to other seedbanks and you may notice a lot more in common.
Do you think Shantibaba from MNS is a "real breeder"?
When was the last time Shanti or one of his minions posted pics of Shanti's test grows or parent plants (not counting US operations or CBD lines)?
Shanti has always said he wants to see what the customers do with his lines when asked to show pics of his selections, test runs or breeding stock.
Gu combines a well known, proven male with well known cuts that people outside limited circles/areas cannot get.
Stardawg is an IBL, Tres dawg was already stabilized version of Chem D, outcrossed to the sibling, Chem 4. Later releases from TopDawg are even more inbred.
The line is used by almost every big breeder in some way because it is so consistent in delivering positive traits to a cross.
There is no better way to test the genetics of a male than to run it against multiple different females and see what comes out.
At this point, then, the genetic contribution that he controls is documented and predictable.
The females he crosses it with though are another issue, and he is limited in options there are customers want the stardawg male crossed with specific cuts. Not some random selection from Grower X.
These "hot cut of the day" lines are usually polyhybrids whose reputation is based on a single cutting, usually because they have such a varied pedigree that they are nowhere near stable. F1s from cuts like this are likely to be highly variable on the mothers side. The typical GPS customer does not understand pheno spread ratios from F1s, or even what the range of phenos the mother cuts would throw look like if they were selfed or taken to F2 with a sibling male.
GPS OG x Stardawg crosses should be some of the more predictable lines, but GPS customer consistently get frustrated when the extreme OG females like TK or ghost throw phenos that display common OG traits like popcorn buds and viney branches. Then these same growers complain about lines having too much stardawg in them.
Ridiculous and impossible to please. This thread is filled with complaints that come from this ignorance.
I'd like to assume that you know better as a mod on a big cannabis ripoff site, but as you stated yourself we don't know you, man.
You claim to have a veg room filled with every elite cut the people of this site dream about, yet you fill your recirculating system with GPS seed plants.
Yeah, you are a hard one to figure out H.
why does the stem get like this for? had it happen to one of mine or what is it called when this happens?
The flattened stem shown in your picture is called Fasciation. It is a fairly uncommon mutation, but does occur on occasion.
I have seen it on cookie crosses in the past, as well as skunk.
If bighorn is saying he sees it on every GPS strain, I'd ask followup questions on which specific strain before making a guess on where it comes from.
