I’ve really enjoyed my pack. I been meaning to post but been busy.
I had 4 females out of the 6 pack. The first one had the most cake terps out of my 4 but not dominating the mix.
1 of them didn’t branch at all and would be great for a sog grower, however my clone of that one seemed like an auto and just wanted to flower in veg so was tossed.
The last 2 had a similar smell and taste. It’s an earthy dank flavor that brought back an unexpected nostalgic smoke.
One of my first order of seeds close to a decade ago from Nirvana included an amazing sweet lip smacking Wonder Woman. I kept it for a while but didn’t realize then what I had and not all seeds will give me the same thing. I later tried to get it again from a couple packs but no luck.
This really is as close to that as I could hope for. It is a great mix and I’ll try to throw up pics on the next run. Dense light green buds with a nice coat to the throat making you want another puff just for the aftertaste.

I've been ordering from GLG for a while now, but I would always give the BadDog freebies away to new growers. However, this time I am working on a new seedling soil mix so I am keeping them for myself. I am now making my own worm castings in bulk, so I am experimenting with ProMix and 40% castings. I've been trying the bag soil but I always run into problems of some kind like Light Warrior really doesn't give enough food to get the seedlings past the seedling phase and I would have to transplant a spindly plant that didn't exactly root. I tried HappyFrog but had horrible germination rates, so I had the soil tested and it was 4x too high in sodium and that is detrimental to seedlings. My wife told me that in horticulture school, they teach you to layer seedling mix on top and regular potting soil on bottom, but I decided to try my worm castings instead. Sorry for rattling on, but I'm on the search for a perfect seedling mix and BadDog seeds are going to be my test subjects! Thanks for the 4x free packs on my last order! Anyways, here is a peek at my new fertilizer lol...

I just tried Coast of Maine's Stonington Blend for the first time and I'm super impressed. I've only watered with distilled water (with a tiny dash of calmag) and my plants are LOVING it... perfect color and leaves lifting up in joy. I tried starting some out with the much "cooler" Bar Harbor Blend because I thought seedlings would be happier in it, but the Stonington is night and day better. My plants came alive when I repotted in the Stonington. I skipped the light blend with a second round of seeds and went straight to the Stonington and they were clearly happier and not burned at all. I've struggled to find a combo of soil and water that work well and I think this is the one. My well water appears to be awful for plants no matter what I do to correct it... too much copper and probably sodium too. I'm gonna buy an RO water unit and I think I'll be good to go at last. Happy Frog never worked for me either. Ocean Forest was better, but this C.o.M. Stonington blend is the shit. Not sure if it reaches your area but it's definitely worth considering if your problems continue.

I've never seen that brand before... I hear you on the well water and I had mine tested and it was like 250-300ppm which is considered hard water and the salt content was pretty high. I collect rain water for the indoor plants now and I bought a R/O system but I mostly use it for drinking water(better than bottled). Anyways, I'm committed to this mini worm farm that I have going and I just built new worm bins and have the hook-up on expired produce that's free. I just finished my first batch of castings and it was from that trailer that I showed you, that pic is like 12 weeks old now. It was a mountain of bananas and lettuce. I have a great feeling about how the quality of my castings are going to be,! Plus, I get to use as much as I want and have some left for the wife's houseplants/garden beds.
Really though, I was surprised to see some of the fire that people are getting from these free seed packs! I was running these purely to test my soil for germination rates and growth, but I might actually clone off of them and flower them out now.

Some pics of my little worm farm, they hold 540 gallons each:

Got a Funky Dragon Down 5/18 at 60 days. Smells go from bakery to very ripe fruit or berries, to stale piss. Narrow cigar buds fairly firm but Sativa shows in a big way, numbing face rush smoked or vaped in a Vapor Genie. Hard hitter, very smooth even smoked, average size at least. Only girl I had. Also has notable drying on mouth and eyes. Not for neophytes.

I'm on day 2 1/2 of germination and I have 9 of 12 that broke surface, so I think that my soil mix is working just fine! I think that I will have near perfect germination rates by tomorrow. Like I promised, I will take these freebies to completion. I think that I had 2 different packs here and they were both Long Bottom Fighter crosses, just FYI. I'll do a better job of listing strain names when I do updates later.

Harvested one Funky Dragon a month ago at 60 days, showed some sort of deficiencies throughout that this grower never fully fixed. Anyway first tester or freebie from GLG that was not very powerful. Mods or a little better with sSwisher Sweet lookin buds. Could be those unfixed troubles.

Got some more Bad Dawg testers/freebies to run, just have to find a slot. Most freebies here are way good!

I do not doubt that there may be real intense Funky Dragon out there. I only report what happens and I noted persistent deficiencies during grow. That gene pool must have fire. Only had the one female so highly subjective.

Flowered 6 Atonic Apollo, several have almost all headless trichs, lots of sticky and white covered buds but few heads. Anyone have similar? Buds that have those type stalks vaporize very quickly. I k ow the Atonic is high CBD.
