Im going to start exploring more OG crosses
Nice looking grow man! I just wish I had an outside area like that. Thats really where they shine
nug by nug. Variety is the spice of life. Are you getting the Serious Bubblegum or is this another HSC strain?Sativa , grows like an indica ... that's their claim. It's def a heady highmine stretched about a foot. I think -piper82 had a longer than expected stretch as well. But once it was over, they matured crazy fast .. I cut early 60's. They advertise 45- mayyyybeeee outside? Bubblegum, berry, black licorice are what I'm getting. Varies nug by nug lol .
Scratch that. I misread. Anything bubblegum is a winner in my taste bookSativa , grows like an indica ... that's their claim. It's def a heady high

Mine are like some kind of sweet artificial fruit, like blue raspberry. It smells like a sour belt or something.
I grew their blueberry muffin. Not the strongest high but i must say it was nice to grow a blueberry cross that actually turned colors. very pretty plants and candy smell in flowering. I think ill give the jelly rancher a go for my next indica grow. A lot of positive feedback on here about it
[/QUOTE]
A 20% herm rate is what it is. The other 3 strains were grown under the same conditions without issue. Perhaps your blueberry muffin high (or lack thereof) was operator error?
Almost sounds like the jolly ranchers themselves

I think you're responding to the wrong person. I actually did enjoy the high on my BBM. I'm saying we have no idea what your grow was like, if you're an indoor grower you could have a light leak or another stressor that doesn't affect the grow room/tent evenly. For the farms buying their seeds from places like Kaprikorn, the minimum order is 250 seeds, 50 of any given strain and Vanilla frosting was on there this summer. I doubt 10 of every 50 Vanilla frosting hermed, even 1 in 50 would be an absolute riot among growers.
Man it seems like HSC is the highest regarded bank on Rollitup. And to think I just pissed away $130 on a barneys farm single seed extravaganza. I'll suffer through the unknown I suppose. I definitely want to check out that purple panty dropper

There are lots of good breeders, they're not the only ones worth growing seeds from, but they operate on a pretty large scale and interact with a lot of farms both as a seed supplier and for R&D. The reason they talk about HendRX nursery, Aloha Humboldt, Rising Leaf Farms, Fire Mountain Farms, etc. on the back of the packs of the strains produced there is because that's how they get the land for all these thousands of plants large pheno hunts. That scale has its benefits in terms of being able to do more selection.
They're not all outdoor either, I saw a post of theirs where Prime Exotics (a fancy indoor hydro grower) was one of the places they were doing pheno hunts for Bling crosses, so I poked through their instagram and saw that they had grown Jelly Rancher and Notorious T.H.C. in the past and were also doing testing for a Fortune Cookie x Notorious T.H.C. cross. https://www.instagram.com/primeexoticsfarms/
Mind you, this is is a place that also grows MAC 1 and Peanut Butter Breath, so it's not like they don't know what the hype strains are like.

Excellent. they use Cali based farms. Thats very nice considering a lot of the other "american" banks Ive used seem to depend on other countries to breed their stock
Humboldt Seeds?

Hey man, sorry you've had issues; I haven't had anything herm on me yet from among Caramel Cream, Magic Melon, Blueberry Muffin, or Hi-Biscus; the Garlic Budder, Apple Blossom, and Jelly Rancher are still running but nothing off yet. I'll keep an eye out, but I've definitely found them worthwhile so far.

HSC GS Cookies Regulars. Here is 2 phenos of the 4 seeds popped from the pack of 20 seeds. I got 1 male from the 4 seeds and 3 females. 2 females look identical and the 3rd doesn’t look anything like the other 2.
They are all in flower now outdoor. Going to see how they turn out and maybe keep one if the final product is nice.
Note the saw blade on the leaves. 2 phenos have the same leaf & branch structure.

I had a few Fem Squirt seedlings that looked like they were herming out in veg after I topped them . It ended up being a extra node that was trying to develop on the branch. I plucked it off and haven’t noticed anymore. I guess I’ll see once they are in flower.
Here is a pic of one of them in veg.

I have Garlic Budder also going outdoors. Mine are just put into flower as I kept a light on at night to keep them in veg to get a little bigger. I grew 3 of them both look really similar and they seem to grow very tall and thick strong branching. Looks like a good outdoor strain that can develop good branch support for heavy buds.
How is the smell on yours already?

Does anyone have pics of the phenos they grew of HSC GS Cookies? Fem or Regulars. I’m just curious to see how others came out for them.
