Both of my slurricanes have a spicy pepper smell with a tiny bit of purp undertones. Im not a fan of spicy/peppery weed. Not sure where the pepper smell is coming from but :spew:

Yeah pepper is a huge fuckin turn off for me too. Probably recessive gene from the afghani heritage of the purp used. Some people absolutely love it though man. I had the most amazing orange creamsicle pheno from a Chimera Aeric Calio x BB that was ruined by extreme pepper smell. Gutted me. Made the whole room smell of orange creamsicle too. People go bonkers for pepper hazes and shit though. I won't even bother smoking them if I growem.

Thanks for report.

You're killing me lol.

I hate spicy/pepper weed also.

At this point I am going to sit on my pack for a while... I need to see several positive grows before I change my mind and decide to grow them.

I had really high hopes for these as well. The smaller pheno is pretty but I can't smoke pretty, lol. Im sure there is lightning in a bottle somewhere in this cross but I totally missed it.

Ill be waiting for more grow reports to come in before I pop anymore.

How did these turn out?? I just recently pulled out my pack of Caspers that were over 5 years old and I cant get any of them going....only have 2 left. The rest were all duds. :( I'm so disappointed. I even tried to reach out to Archive about it and no response :( double sad face off OG for me.

Just over a week on from that post so just a little bulking out going on.

I hear you on that, I soaked 9 and only got 1 bean to pop, #8 I germinated over 80 seeds that run (multiple strains, multiple breeders) and this strain was the only one to give me any problems.

Been gifted a select cut of Dosido F2, vegging out to go in my next run.

How recent were these purchases? I know the other guy said they were over 5 years old on his end.

Did you scuff them? I have a pack in the fridge that I got years ago. I know I had three plants at least, pretty sure it was 100% germination. I know I still have at least half the pack left. My results are buried in this thread somewhere. I know they were fine when they were fresh.

December / January of this year. Looking back the Face Off line was restocked sometime in February, could be I got old seeds.

No I didn't scuff any of the seeds that run (14 strains including Casper). Out the fridge to room temp, then soaked in warm water for a couple of days. Once the tap root brakes into soil they go. Caspers were put in to damp paper towel and I probably should have then scuffed them and done more but I didnt. I'll still pop the Slurricane F1's.

I looked back,I dropped mine In 2016 but they were a newer purchase. I did go 4 for 4 though. I have had seeds in a paper towel for a week and not pop, then scuff them and they pop. Only issue I have had with archive is I seem to get a lot of males, but I have only done smaller seed pops so it may just be my luck. I have 6 or 7 poochie loves in veg now looking good.

Right on, I've popped a few ghost mom hybrids and didn't note any issues. Could be that they were left on the vine too long or something and just needed some extra extra love.

Either way, thanks for the heads up. Definitely gonna treat these better than most.

Just got these Dirt Naps, Ghost x Dosidos. Has anyone ran any OG x Dosi strain? I’m wondering a ballpark for flower time, considering growing outdoors

Edit: Archive site says 70 days, may be too long :eyesmoke:

I forgot to add these over here.

The two slurricanes I have are both smelling spicy which I don't like but the smaller one may come around to the fruity side. There is a fruity under tones so hopefully that spicy leaves in a hurry. The taller pheno might not make it through flower. I'm rather unimpressed.

I gotta get another pics of the taller shitty pheno but here is the nicer small pheno. She is dark green compared to other plants and she is frosty enough expect decent smoke.20190426_224240.jpg20190426_224236.jpg

Hello people

Not had any experience before as I usually just run female but looking to find a keeper to mother. Looking for something that flowers in 9-10 weeks. Preferably something with dense buds. Any recommendations?

Thanks in advance

I purchased mine at Seedsherenow 4 to 5 years ago. I just reached out to them about this also. Im suprised that they havent gotten back to me yet. I mean i get it. I bought these 4 or 5 years ago. They are no one is entitled to help me but it would be nice. Ive been a loyal customer of theirs for some time now. Hope they help. I have 2 beans left out of the pack. Who thinks I should try them?? I score and soak my beans with usually perfect results. These Caspers have been the only problem ive had so far. I have 15 years exp. on my belt. Been around the growing block and back.

I tried ordering $300 worth of shit from shn, card didn’t go thru (go figure). Tried emailing them to complete the order and never got a response. Seems like they’re smoking more weed over there than I do

I have grown out a few Archive strains and I will say that I never had an issue with bud density. Most were nice semi-hard to hard nugs, but I did find that some phenos lacked flavor, bag appeal and were not as hard hitting as I had hoped.

However, some phenos were fantastic... I have had great experiences growing Archive gear, but I do find the the things around Slurricane disconcerting and I find that the request for other breeders to stop using Dosido also disappointing...

The darker pheno I posted above is losing that peppery smell and is developing a fruity smell. She should shape up to be descent, not the gem I was hoping for but she looks like she'll be nice. Dense buds for sure.
