Thanks guys, sounds very nice. I'm hunting cherry terps, got cherrygasm from subcool and definitely has it. Best pheno smelled cherry gas/fuel for the best one, and floral, perfume-like with subtle cherry terps for the second.
Sure will get a pack of this black cherry pie.

Did someone else find out he's Platinum Kush Breath REMIX is total herm ? 8/8 seeds naners and pistls at the same time . I'm really dissapointed other regular plants in box are fine so i think its not my foult . These beans are so expensive and waisted time :( :( sorry for my eng
I grew out the whole pack of both the Platinum Kush Breath and the Remix. Every seed germinated( I use rock wool mini cubes). Not any sign of male flowers throughout 2 grows. Maybe you stressed the plants somehow.

So I had 5/10 on the 'Color of Space' germ. The remaining 5 seeds I made a small split with a razor ( as an experiment) on the part of the seed that splits open and to my surprise one of them grew a tap root out of it. The others were toast. I agree that you shouldn't have to manipulate the seed for it to pop and it was probably a rushed release as stated. I've made thousands of my own seeds and the only time I had germ issues was when the seeds weren't dried properly or left on the plant long enough to mature.
Next time try using rock wool mini blocks when you’re germinating your seeds. Just put the seed into the little hole , push it down gently with a toothpick till it’s at the bottom. Then pour on some lukewarm tap water till the block is saturated. I usually put the wet blocks on a plate with a loose cover of aluminum foil. Put the plate in a warm place for at least 48 hours. Uncover when you see some life. Put the blocks under gentle light till the seed is up. Some may take a week to sprout. I have great success with this method. Almost impossible to over water with rockwool as a seed starter medium. I use the inch and a half mini blocks with a hole pre-made fore the seed. Available at any grow shop or Amazon

Except rockwool sucks if you want to transplant and grow in coco or another medium other than rockwool later on. If in coco coir, that rockwool block will constantly be soggy/saturated throughout the grow...up against the stalk like that, can cause stem rot or other issues. I agree rockwool is great for germinating, but it doesn't play nicely with most other mediums, and you're stuck with that cube for the duration of the grow.

For hard to germinate seeds, the best option is to get a little square of sandpaper. Fashion a little tube with the gritty side in. Put the seeds in, plug top and bottom of tube with your thumb and finger, and shake for a min or two. This scuffs up tough seed casings and really helps things along. From there I soak in water for 24 hours, and then into the medium or wet paper towels depending if they've fully cracked yet. I get 98+% germ rate with this method, even on very old or known problem seeds.

I respectfully disagree. The cube is only an inch and a half across. I have grown in soil , coco and hydro. The tiny cube is insignificant and doesn’t hold enough water to ever cause rot. I know cause I have done countless times. Just take off the paper wrapper before planting in its pot or basket. Remember that brand new rockwool is sterile and won’t cause damping off.

I've had it happen - 2 plants with stem rot inside the cube, so I stopped using them.

How big was the cube?
The smallest cube size - approx 1.5-2" square. I did remove the wrapper. I run with 2 gallon pots of coco on automated top feed, watering 2-3x per light cycle by mid-flower. This was enough to keep the rockwool soggy and wet, and resulted in stem-rot where the main stalk was in contact with the rockwool. As a result, I don't use the stuff any longer as there really isn't any need to, just adds one more unnecessary variable to my setup.

Cherry gar-see-ya from Ethos has fucking intense and very distinct candied dark cherry terps. I only popped one seed, was a runt plant but the nugs were sticky and smelled overpowering as fuck. Very unique, and very strong weed too.

Good to know, I guess I’ve been lucky

I find it very hard to believe you had that many hermie out on you due to the breeder more like a grow error from experience and even half ass genetics don't have such a bad hermie rate :lol: lol

Anyway i just got IHG- platinum kush breath remix + Twisted helix.

Just got sick of running mediocre genetics by most these pollum chuckers out there, even with the setup being perfect it's just not as fire as i want it to be and even tho the quality is there and everyone loves it, i want better and i hope these guys have the goods I'm searching for.

I bang on about it a lot, but Twisted Helix is amazing. Got it as a freebie and ran it outdoors. Cloned it indoors and it was ridiculously potent weed. I had given clones to a friend and so many people asked after it that I got the clone back and am just about to run it again.

Pkbr was nice too, nice terps and flower structure

Can confirm cherry Garcia by ethos is absolutely very cherry. As is black cherry punch by inhouse genetics. Literally Hawaiian Punch x cherries smell and flavor. Beautiful plant also.
well just saw there were only in feminized form.. too bad.. still got the black cherry pie to try.

I've got both of those strains in veg right now - on the hunt for cherry terps, so this is great to hear. Most excited for the Black Cherry Punch
A bit hard to find now but if you come across them, cherrygasm from subcool has a strong cherry fuel pheno that's easy to get. And an overall nice cherry terp dom on all phenos.

I’ve never had many strains that really are “x fruit”

both the cherry Garcia and black cherry punch absolutely blew me away “how do we really get cherry flavors and smells into pot” but truly… you’re about to be impressed by both.

Yeah, I was completely gobsmacked at the smell coming off garseeya. Even after the cure it had this Incredible cherry fuel smell. Hard to beat. My pheno of Deep Mandarin from Delicious Seeds had a pretty impressive mandarin rhind profile
