Thoughts on Subcools seeds and "business"

Hello nerds!

So what is the deal with Subcool??? Half the growing world SWEARS by his gear and say he is the second coming of Jack Herrer himself..... the other half say he sells herm prone, non-stabilized strains, and that he sell himself out just to make some cash.
I know his gear's phenotypes are all over the place, and from what i understand phenotype selection is what the breeder is supposed to do, not the grower. I read that is phenotypes are all the place because he doesnt really bother to stabilize the strain. Leaving us grower with a hodge podge of different plants from the same seeds......

Thoughts on Super soil?? worth it or overrated hype?

just sort of curious on what you "pro" growers think about his company/gear.


Personally i find him annoying as FUCK. His "weed nerd" videos go ON and ON and ON and ON and ON and ON and ON and ON and ON and ON and ON and ON and ON and ON and ON and ON and ON and ON and ON and ON...... he plays bad music for the 1st half, then talks drama for the other half. I have learned VERY little from his "informative" videos..... he just wax's poetic about lame ass shit that means nothing to me. VaderOG is WAY better for learning and watching imo.....


So is he a joke? Or am i sorely mistaken about him and his gear??
i remember when a whole bunch of seed sellers were newbies to growing. it cracks me up that they buy seeds from a real breeder, make F2s, cross breed F2s, and then brag about how good their shit is and sell it for big $$. funny stuff.

that being said, i got gifted with some subcool genetics and they were quite good. i didn't breed them though.

tga strains are never on the top shelf of the clubs/collectives up here, most people are pretty sick of them by now also. but then again ive had some full-melt vortex that looked like red grease.

Well i am smoking some Chernobyl(1st time ever smoking TGA gear) and its super tasty. Nice tight buds, the smell is like Lime flavored Life Savers. Nice high, very stony and probably gonna be good for sleep. I have never grown his stuff, but judging by this 1st taste, he DOES create some tasty flavorful herbs.

Rollitup seems to be the home of Subcool, so to talk trash about him or his gear on these boards is kinda silly. That'd be like going to TSD forums and trash talking RD genetics, or going to icmag and trash talking BOG or Dutchgrown.

Not everything is trash talk. Some people legitimately had problems with his shit. I've personally had herms and never found anything worth keeping taste/potency wise from tga. So what if Sub hangs out here, we should all kiss his ass like some folk do? Lmao, this isn't the streets. Home turf bullshit. And RD isn't the only breeder at TSD.

You cant say you learn much from his show though.... They are all 30+ minutes, and MAYBE 5% information.... its just him bitching about stuff smoking weed/hash and playing bad stoner music.(imo). I dont know man, i guess i just dont get the hype.
Glad you enjoy it so much though hahah
Dont know if this has been pointed out yet but .....

What about the rest of his videos that pre date weed nerd by years along with the several long articles all over here and other forum sites. Do the work and read. Weed nerd was just supposed to be how it was from the beginning it was going to have info but it wasn't going to be the central issue because all of that information was already out there and has been for a long time. The weed nerd was just like a questions and answer /pot culture type show not a Jorge video.

lol

yeah, let's not talk openly and honestly about a seed dealer. let's all pretend that his stuff is excellent and tell everybody to buy it. that's what a good pot grow board is for.

That's what it seems like people already do, unfortunately, I was just stating the reason why you won't get an unbiased opinion.. The people who talk trash are the ppl with 4 posts, and the rest will stand up like he's insulted their girlfriend lol

There are so many threads in the strain / seed review section and just as many members who bash him and TGA on the regular here. Not in the AZ threads but n the seed review sections they have lots of threads bashing him TGA, Cali Con, & Swerve.

I used to think he was kindof a d-bag when i first got on riu. but after seeing him in hightimes and realizing how "big" he is, i developed a little respect i guess.

Yeah gotta respect the guy for sharing his " super soil " recipe on the net. I know organic charged soil is nothing new but before he posted videos and guides on how to make
his version of super soil you kind of had to know a old hippy to get the mix recipe.

This kinda died off, but i'm gonna share my simple thought. I plan on grabbing a couple TGA strains very soon. No matter what i've read whether it be positive or negative, it won't change my purchase. Point is, I love growing weed. To me, it doesn't matter the breeder, the genetics or anything. Key thing is if the strains I grab don't match the breeders description and/or they turn out crappy. That will be my final conclusion as to ever buying gear from that breeder again. Or maybe give them another try if they start coming out with new strains, later on. I've grown from many different breeders off the tude and have had good and bad. I'd say what turned me to Tga gear is the fact they aren't fems or autos. Every fem strain i've grown has hermed, eventually, but that's a different topic. Peace!!!

Some people will still vote for NOBAMA remember you can't fix stupid! TGA wouldn't be at the level it is if all they put out was an inferior product .jump on you tube and check out some of the nicer grows chances are tga is in the room somewhere.

some people will continue buying run of the mill genetics because they just dont know any better or dont have access to real elite genetics. like if you live in buttfuck ville and dont know any other growers then yeah tga seeds from the tude are the shit. but if you live in a med state then u should try and trade in with some experienced growers who can help u out.

I wouldn't go as far as saying TGA's stuff is run of the mill, it's definitely unique stuff (though you gotta look for phenos). I agree there are sicker cuts more readily available.

I've also noticed some of his gear popping up in some breeder's stuff as well as a couple cut onlys floating around that were derived from some of his strains, so that speaks a little for some of his phenos.
