Copycat genetics

The guys stuff is no better than anything else out there. He's just selling it for ridiculous prices. I wouldn't risk buying anything from some dude on instagram. The entire seed industry is a joke with people using terms like "Gear" to describe the ridiculously named strains being sold for outrageous prices. It's like they're marketing to children with some of the names. Many of the names are merely combinations of the parents from their pollen chucks. There are few breeders that actually breed. Anyone can chuck pollen and many of us do. I've made my own crosses that are much better than strains available from some of the so called breeders out there.

Copycat, Jackass, insert name. None of their stuff is worth some of the insane prices they charge. But for some reason some of these clowns end up with a cult following. Or perhaps they are just shills. Either way it's all a big money grab with half the stuff out there being a pollen chuck sold for $30 a seed. The same people praising some instagram pollen chucker are the same people bragging about the dozen bottles of water they feed their plants. Your friends might be impressed but you won't impress any real grower.

Enjoy your instagram dude pollen chucks.

This forum is anything but an echo chamber.
Its one of the few where genuine growers can give honest opinions without their comments deleted. Regardless of what some of the former RIU crybabies claim, you really have to go on a fullblown meltdown troll mission before the mods remove content.

Other forums don't just delete comments, they'll delete entire threads, thereby removing any record of dirty deeds
Same with IG. Controlled content with lots of shills and hype. "looks fiyah bro"

I don't post this to put anyone on blast, just pointing out that this shits been going on for long long time. These newest hacks are just the newest version of the Swerves, Rez, and Logics of the weed world.

Want transparency? Good genetics? Support growers that have a backlog of grow journals. The genuine growers that aren't walking talking contradictions.
I choose to support growers that spend more time making seeds than marketing them. This is where you'll find the true "fiyah".

Has anybody ever grown anything from copycat genetics? If so can someone please post some pictures? I’m looking for top shelf seeds but I don’t wanna pay $250 for nothing. It looks like that guy has some real gas, I just wanna see proof that it it’s worth the money

You won't be disappointed with Gage green genetics, I've grown 4 strains from those guys over the years..everyone was top shelf.

If I'm paying 250 or 3 hundo for a pack..it's a proven breeder.

Guy ripped off Gu and many others with his fake feminized seeds. Then changed his site to dildos. Now he's got 10 accounts here on RIU and Instagram trying to rip more people off. Funny how when a new supporter shows up there a newer member and promoting this guys beans exact same way every time until there posts get remove for advertising without paying to be a vendor here.

Have you talked to anyone outside of this forum though? This place and every other forum are pretty much echo chambers for whoever there chosen breeders are and then everybody and there mother wants to be a breeder these days so it's hard to know anyones agenda on these things. Only thing I know is he's the only one showing any kind of proof that he's selling you fire beans and there's a shit ton of dudes on IG loving his stuff. I'll know for myself soon enough so don't trip I'll keep ya posted :wink:
I don’t know why you keep pointing to his ig presence like it’s an amazing thing. A couple thousand followers and a couple thousand #. Give me a week, I’ll make some accounts and post some pics I found on google and I can give you a social presence like that. Regular joe growers have more followers. Check out anyone with known good genetics and your going to start doing backflips if your impressed with a couple thousand. Tons have 50-100k+ followers and their individual strains have thousands and thousands of hastags. I also don’t get why you care about seeing someone take seeds out of a bud. I’ve seen plenty of other breeders do it occasionally, once you have seen it once it’s the same every time...and what does that prove other than they took those seeds out of that bud. The pollen those seeds were made from could have been from hemp, or he has bulk seeds that he packs in addition to that one plant he shucked on camera.

Listen he might be good and I’m not saying that he does those things. I’m just saying your reasoning for thinking he is all that and a bag of chips is flawed. He has a history. If he was carried at any legitimate seedbank I would have way more confidence that he is legit. You can get away doing email sales if you have a great track record or you are from the community and really really well known but otherwise it’s sketch as hell.

As for the echo chamber....if you look anywhere in the seed review areas there are plenty of people who say some genetics are great and some are bad, and they give their actual experiences with them. There are tons of full grow journals showing genetics too, and not all turn out great. It’s the nature of the beast.

In any event I am glad we have a few people growing out and posting here and I hope the stuff turns out good.

Unless you have personal pics of his seeds in flower then there’s no point in chiming in. Especially having a fresh account doesn’t help either, I bought a pack for cheap enough to not be a risk for me and wanted to share my findings, but coming here to his defense with no good proof doesn’t do jack. I’ve been following his IG for awhile and he seems cool but his pics are pretty much the same shit from his site, his hashtag shows some good looking stuff but most everything else are plants in veg or good looking plants from other high follower IG accounts that are friends/associates with him

Dude, why do you and a shit load of other goofies on this forum forget that not everyone has access to fire clones. Either because their state has just become legal like in my case or not legal at all. Entitlement is a mother fucker I swear...
Btw I have never grown a clone out that I personally didn’t pop from seed. Clones aren’t my thing. I said that to highlight his high costs compared to getting THE actual clone. Also if you really care for clones strainly have tons of legitimate vendors who will mail to an illegal state.

Also I don’t think you know what entitled means. Where do I want something or that I deserve something.

i have heard nothing but bad things from copycat...stay away
Well here is your first 'good' experience, although the guy has a huge following that posts plenty of results on Insta...

I am on day 53 on 2x of his Slurricane, 1x Ecto Cooler (MAC1xSlymer), 1x Zkittlez

I have absolutely no complaints. The bud is phenomenal, and I come from NJ where we have to pay $65 for an eighter at any of our medical dispensaries. Yes, the seeds are $150-$250 but they run a promo quite a bit where you can get 4 packs of any seeds for $250, I am actually waiting on that promo to come around again right now for another purchase. Buying 4 sets of primo, west coast dispensary level bud for $250 when that's the cost of half an ounce in our dispensaries here, I am totally good with that compromise.

I can post pics when around day 70 at harvest if you like
