I ordered 10 ea of the BHD and RRF through the Attitude. I placed my order Dec 2nd and recieved my seeds on the 26th. Not bad considering all the shipping going on for the holiday season.

I cracked the BHD first. One seed had begun to germinate in the breeders pack and was not viable. The remaining 9 all cracked, but one was not strong enough to break free of the shell and was terminated. I ended with 5 males and 3 females. There is some genetic variation between the girls. One has fluffier buds with longer hairs. Another is forming a massive and dense cola that I am very impressed with. A fair assesment of the 3rd is not possible, because I have LST'd and pollinated her.

The RRF had 9/10 seeds germinate. 3 days in, 2 seedlings shriveled and died. Not sure why, because they were sharing the same DWC with other plants that thrived. The remaining 7 have yet to show sex. I expect 3-5 days.

Overall I would give Short Stuff and 8 out of 10. Quality plants, but some germinating issues and some genetic variation.

The Attitude gets a 9. My order shipped from them quickly, and the mug and freebies were nice as well (Kandy Kush, Aphrodite, and La Blanca). Only negative thing was the lack of order tracking once it was dleivered to the USPS. Not their fault , I know, but still an annoyance.

I just found your thread... I am subscribed. I am actually considering buying the same 2 strains that you have going right now. I am excited to hear how they yeild and how the bud tastes, smells and how the high is. I grew out purple ryder last year and I want something that is stronger. the PR was tasty, and smooth, but it wasn't very potent. i hardly ever smoke and i had to smoke a bowl or two to really feel good and high. most of the time i get a pretty good buzz from 1 or 2 hits. I can't smoke regularly because they do random drug dests at work. I mostly grow for my wife who has back pain and is kinda suffering from depression.

Good luck with the rest of your grow!

Thanks. The BHD should be ready to harvest in less than a week. I am estimating about 1 1/2 - 2oz off the 2 non seeded ones. The smell is hard to describe. Very potent and a hint of citrus. Can check out my pics in my photo album.

Im actually growing Himalayan Blue Diesel myself and im on Day 63 with my oldest, youngest Day 56. Mine kept short at only 12" for the tallest and 7" for the shortest. I am growing in a small stealth cabinet with cfls so I tried keeping them short. Had heat issues in beginning and they held up nicely taking all the first time grower mistakes. They stink up everything and they are very crystalized and looking amazing. Once I harvest I will do a smoke report.

Russian rocket fuel update: The girls are showing two different phenotypes. Three are short and compact with smaller leaves, and four are stretching for the light and have large, broad leaves on longer stalks.
