Yeah actually I thought about that after I posted the link. Ah well, I will see if I can resolve my camera issues.

yes they came in a little plastic tube with q-tip ends stuck in both sides. completely mixed and unlabeled.
I will say so far, I have popped 5 seeds all germed and only one has been male. The 4 females were not too hard to identify once they started budding up. The only one that I have been really impressed with so far has been this current Black Pearl. I didnt care much for the avalanche/monsterbud/superbud. They were not very potent BUT they gave a nice sativa buzz that would knock the edge off without making you lazy.
I do have some pictures, and I am actually preparing to take a few more today. I tried to upload a picture earlier and after about 45 minutes of uploading I canceled it. Not sure if my picture is too big or what exactly. I dont really have much knowledge of digital cameras and how they work and have no idea how to make the pictures smaller.

On a side note, I am really interested in the Purple Cindy and I hope like hell the one male wasnt going to be the purple cindy. I still have 10 seeds to go.
Hey try this free program fast image re sizer. All you have to do drag and drop them onto the program and it will re size and put them in the same folder you dragged em out of and it puts em in a sub folder. Real user friendly.

I have to re size mine as well when uploading to RIU. My camera takes huge pics and they're to big to upload to RIU. So I suspect your having the same problem. Just re size em in that free program and you'll be good to go.

Ok here are two pics resized. It loses abit in resizing so the picture doesnt really do it justice. Also its under the HPS light so I am sure that plays into why the crystals arent popping out so much. Under the scope they are growing on top of each other there are so many crystals. Other pic is a pic of the entire box. Black Pearl is front left, Cataract is back left, the other two on the right side, front and back, are Darkstars. Notice they are all just about the same height. I have yet to see one of the HGS grow incredible heights like the ads claim. They are on par with just about every other strain I have grown.

And thanks for the program link/advice. Worked like a charm.

Here is a pic of some finished Superbud. Only other pics I have of HGS product is from a phone camera before I purchased my digital and not worth even trying to pull up.

Like I said in a previous post. It was a nice sativa buzz, not very potent, but it knocked the edge off and was great for mundane chores. I cleared right around 3 oz with 1 topping 30 days veg/9 weeks in flower give or take.

i got 2 free seeds;)
different strain from the order(s)? that would be a change
i do like the 'freebies' that other banks do, variety is a good thing
but HGS provides good quality at a good price, i used them because i felt a little safer ordering through a canadian bank
it's all the same customs, but the volume of mail between canada and the USA is larger, and there is safety in numbers

i ordered 3 times from the UK....2 got stopped by customs...never again from overseas for me...as there are so many choices on this side of the pond...just my opinion

"different strain from the order(s)? that would be a change"
i agree 100% with that...and i am sure they can swing that also if they wanted.....what do you say HGS????

I have a Black Pearl going right now, 9 weeks from 12/12 and its beautiful. Absolutely covered in trichs and has a really thick, strong paint smell to it. But as far as height its just about the same as the Cataract Kush and the two Darkstars I have going with it. The two Darkstars I have been tying down, they might be quite abit taller if I hadnt.



the 12 ft ceilings are needed for the malawi......seriously ...i topped and chopped and its still growing...i actually wish i only put 2 in....freakin out of control....and not just freakin tall...but bushy also....(wide)

Oh you have grown some of those out? I have been interested in them since I saw them listed. How did they come out?

they were under florescent bulb's for 1 week then straight 12/12
seriously ...they grow inches every day......2 over 7 feet...2 are so wide and bushy they have to be tied around
 
Damn! Thats nutso..lol. So would you grow them indoors again or would you recommend them for outdoors? Anything you would do differently with that particular strain?

i wouldn't put more than 2 in...i have 4..my room is 8x8x4...and is packed solid.......outdoors it would be huge....where i live it would just make it in time outside....so far they are pretty easy to do....no problems yet..except for light burns on the tops..because they grew like 2" one day...my fault....and they will take 12-14 weeks to finish....

Hey man, nice to see you over here! I havent found anyone here that supports Highgrade yet. Always the biggest and fastest growing plants, no question.
Yea, one grow of highgrade seeds, and you'll be converted. If you are looking for Big Bud strains that almost grow themselves checkout Highgrade-seeds.com
