Romulan - Federation Seed Co.. They weren't horrible or anything... but they were the worst I have dealt with. Powdery mildew prone, yield and quality were nothing special.
Critical Mass - Mr Nice.. planted 8 seeds, all fell to pythium.... planted 8 more, all fell to pythium. Another pack of a different strain was grown right along with them and did just fine. pythium prone.

I am interested in the metal haze as well. It was my planned next purchase. But, I ended up going with a Neville's Haze x SSH from Beanhoarder instead.
I think Hazey Grapes grew the Metal Haze.

nope, never grown metal haze, but i've talked about it a few times. i THOUGHT it was dr atomic and got confused as the cannabible author really like doc atomic's NL5 haze a lot, but that's mostly only available from sketchy bans, but i still trust hemp depot where i got all of my joey weed gear from. i wish i remembered where i read that metal haze gets it's name from being grown under halides which DJ shorts and jorge cervantes would agree is the best light to use if you're after quality.
the "haziest" gear i've popped so far is fussy hermie bitch sativa seeds' full moon highland thai which i'm far from considering in the short term until i have head stash, but did get a very authentic delicious tutti fruity flavor out of the hermie microbuds when i cut that down and holy smokes' malawi gold which co-operates much more and at least in early flowering is way less stony. i'm going to put that up against HQS haze x skunk, sweet haze & jack's cleaner 2 and maybe WoS NL5 columbian if i can get my last bean to co-operate, to re-organize my top 5 while waiting for 8 miles high to return.
never tried metal haze, but i'd like to. wherever i read about it, was POSITIVE it was in cannabible, it was sibling to another NL5 haze that sounds less interesting to me as it's purer.
two haze equivalents that i've seen raves for are ace panama and golden tiger. i'd go for oldtimer'shaze and gage green's columbian gold though myself before those.
nope... never sampled metal haze, but did make a mental note on it years ago. i'm always keeping my ear open for rare suggestions of better strains, especially at the more practical hybrid end of the spectrum like the faves in my signature.

worst strain: greenhouse kalashnikova(got them when first released, dumb ass $35 decision) all five plants hermied, producing big ugly seeded buds.
most dissapointing: dinafem industrial plant( also prone to hermie if too many limps are touched in early flower)
most suprising: royal queen special queen, but only one female out of five was special and the biggest yeilder i have ever grown in a 3 gallon bag. the other four hermied at day 59 of flower(i take all plants till caylxs buldge up)
best strain: green seeds Sour dieselx OG kush, got for free from gta seedbank but are no longer available. not a huge yeilder but the strongest high ive come across and with gorgeous violet hues in the buds. big plants, slngle stemmed sog and just normal plants all turned out great just needs allot of support during flower. I selfed the best female i had and am currently testing those out(and have given away about 50 beans and 200 clones locally of the first run best female). if they dont turn out well ill be searching again for my headtsash jar.

super lemon haze, started a few plants, they hermed in early flower, balls, not bananas. immediately culled. didn't even get to smoke the stuff. that was over a year ago, in recent times the worst plant i grew was the mentioned "2nd Grade Haze Auto" that dinefem offered, rediculous... didn't autoflower for 1, 2 they were leafy as fuck and the finished product seemed like it would never finish flowering, smokewise they were what i would call regs, not b grade, f grade.
barneys farm pineapple chunk was another failure, sativa pheno got culled, critical kush was a dud plant, flowered out and couldn't do a think to keep her pleased. little to no resin development.
of all the tga gear ive grown, deep purple was disappointing overall, ir was the slowest vegging thing ive ever seen, they were uniformly slow, the nirvana blue mystics i had were doubling the nodes dp was putting out, and they aren't even that vigorous.
delicious seeds la diva, grew to 3 inches tall and had 1g bud growing at the top, i grew it in a 1/2 gallon pot and kept it until i couldn't laugh at it anymore. smoked good nonetheless.

i dunno man, my kalashnipooop plants looked like nettles,.....or pigeon feathers stuck in dirt, or something else really terribly awful, and i didnt fuck around with them....anything non ghs did great w/same treatment.......i even left kalashn out much longer hoping it might transform into something that actually resembled a pot plant, to no end....imo, nobody should ever grow this strain......sorry arjan, but it is what it is

Ever looked into F13?... probably a little more on the practical end than you want... but something like Malawi x F13... could be good.
Malawi x Sweet Tooth sounds real practical as well...
I think it was Raceryboy who suggested Iron Cindy (KOS) in a thread months ago.... that looks like an excellent one that I have to get to..
Nevilles Haze x SSH looked practical to me. There are just a couple packs left on HD. I just got mine... I've grown the SSH and some of the plants finish in 8.5-9 weeks. The Neville's Benho works with is a fast one too, still trippy though.. So, I'm thinking this plant could be very good. Hoping to get a 14wk high in 12 wks... basically.
It's like.. no one wants to cross a fast but convincing sativa (c99, f13) to a long flowering one... ?.
Malawi x Sweet Tooth #3 from Beanhoarder might be one.

It sucks to hear more bad about TGA.. He was one I had not made it to yet and had high hopes... A friend of mine just had over half of his Jilly Bean females pollinating the room. Had to throw them out at week 4 of flower. This was after they already did some damage.... I guess one of them was epic.
As far as the slow veg... that's the Urkle... I thought about aborting ship before even leaving the dock on a P Urkle cross... It grew like a cactus.

hmm, never heard of a report where GHS Super Lemon Haze went hermy before, this is a first lol. GHS is not amazing by an standards, but they do carry few great
top of the shelf strains, and with that said i would not purchase 90% of their beans.
personally, I have not had any terrible plants from seeds, but i did get XJ-13 clone (jack x g13) that went hermie due to stress or was just prone to hermaphroditism. I'll never buy clones from dispensary, again. the other clone, a white russian, picked up PM right away. needless to say i've grown from seeds since.
oh, and hazey grapes, please stop writing novels every time you make a post. condense that shit

The worst seeds I ever grew by far were from beanho (beanhoarder). I did a 20 pack each of blockhead x paki chitral kush, haze x deep chunk, and mango x ssh. The blockhead grew extremely slow,very small and stunted looking..wouldnt take nutrients without slowing down even further. Some of the mango x ssh hermed,and the haze x deep chunk was just some low end regs..no frost or odor,potency was weak. That was a few years ago,Ive heard some people having success with his gear so maybe he's gotten better,but my experience was all stress.

The best plant in my garden is from Beanho, picked up a few years ago... Super Silver Haze
I have a hard time imagining anything crossed with Deep Chunk (especially from Beanho) resembling low end regs... crazy. I didn't grow Beanho's Deep Chunk, but the DC I grew was one of the most resinous plants I have seen.
That's the first negative feedback I've heard on Beanho. 3 packs too... damn.
Really, low end regs? When you say regs... you mean like brick, seeds, brown?

Oh no,not that bad. When I said regs I meant unimpressive mid grade, not shwag like crusty mexican brick weed. It was low potency and not frosty though..very dull with little odor. I had grown deep chunk before which is why I was excited to try that, but they just did not turn out well. There werent any problems with the grow either,my indoor environment was great,good HID lighting and nutrients etc.

have had good experiences with Dinafem , had bad experience with Dinafem. i had good and bad with G13 Labs. ive had bad with all of KC Brains Gear.. i think it was good years ago.. but the new seeds made with diff parents for whatever reason.. isnt good seed. umm.. id say BC Bud Depot bad and good.. Seedsman have had good and bad. Th Seeds.. some good some bad.. there SAGE is SICK SHIT!!. honestly.. it seems like there are good and bad within every seed bank.. or breeder.. the thing is . when u breeder. u have some like mother . some like father.. and some blends in between. it sucks . but thats y u gotta look for IBL. or True Breeding Strains. if u want something that will be like clone in seed form. but other then that. support ur local growers that breed there own seeds.. shit ive gotten seeds from 2 friends that they made the selections for males n females.. and honestly.. have seen better weed from these seeds then most of the seeds ive bought..
i just got an order.. and will be popping some seeds very soon. Violator Kush , Skunkage, Mk Ultra, Blue Widow, BlackBerry, OG Kush, BubbleGum, and a few others i cant remember right now.. im hoping to find some keepers. but we shall see. im going to be gettin some clones from a new friend so im hoping the selections are as good as he says.

I'm surprised to see how many people say seeds they purchased were not potent... I can't think of one plant I have had that has not been fairly potent. My only complaints have been susceptibility to fungus/molds. Most were strains that I was already aware that they could have those issues... like Romulan.
