Maybe match the description. I see pictures of beautiful plants on various forums followed by growers disappointed in the effect and taste. My opinion is a lot of people are paying considerably to be testers for something that was rushed to market. One or two fanboys posting how great the gear is doesn't change the reality of something less than being found by those who pony up the dough to take a chance at what the description is promising. To be fair I have gown nothing by GGG and will spend my money elsewhere at the moment. IThe more I look at these guys the more I see another cash grab on false promises.... pretty standard these days in the seed game.
Well, here we have something that is an issue for people buying, many feel the descriptions do not match up. The guys at Gage do come and look at all the threads, and have become aware of this as being a problem. Work is being done for descriptions to better fit the types, not to worry. It is not going to happen instantly.

Gage did not expect the demand they have right now, and along with increased demand comes a change in expectations from the average customer. It is all about how it grew into what it is now. It all started off as something small, catering to a small group and the tastes within that small group. So where before, the descriptions worked because people knew the cuts anyway, now it is a different matter.

So if you want to be patient and wait to see if things improve to suit you and other demanding customers with specific tastes better, please do not rush a purchase with Gage. This thread is in no way intended to sell their gear, but for people to come bring honest information about their experiences.

All of these experiences can be taken into account, for example I figured out my tastes are very different from kgp, and his from mine, so we take this into account when reading the comments. It is all about perspective, and each perspective is welcomed.

If you would like to be referred to threads where people REALLY enjoyed their Gage gear, we can do that. But if you are looking for that something that the guy complaining was looking for, this is all the info you need.

It is nobody's intention to shove Gage gear down your throat. If you feel uneasy, then hang back. I took more than a year before my first Bodhi purchase, same with Gage. I checked it out forever man, and I made certain. Buying beans from where I live is insanely expensive, one pack is the same as a monthly payment for a family sedan including shipping.

We all understand money is hard earned. Nobody at Gage will be happy if your purchase made you unhappy, so risking it is not doing anybody any favors ;)

And if you do not enjoy my company, that is not a problem. I do not recall being rude to you once though. Have a BRILLIANT week.

smoking myself some red poison from sweet seed cure for 6 month (actually i forget it lol) a good sativa high im listening a sick beat i got to work on it and lyrics flow in my mind that make me want to try the col. of the bastard series do you think they good for daytime or for working?
I had some of their Jack47 in a screen last year. Total Guerilla smoke, little smell or taste but DAMN it got you high. You could toke it walking the streets no problem. Been wanting to try more of their gear...

See ham. The issue with descriptions hits the nail on the head for me.

I can see where people would enjoy the smoke.

But the og behind jo is what kills it. Yes we do have different tastes in preference for sure but. But when you eat a steak, it tastes like a steak. Same here, whether you enjoy that taste or not.

Ggg has the abusive, louie, Ocean beach, and more og's in there roster.

Im willing to bet its very easy to identify these cuts as og in taste and smell.

Same with rare dankness, cali connection, reserva privada, dna genetics. If it says its an og, they all have variations, yes, but share a common funk.

Same with chemd. Very unique in smell. Easily identified in crosses. But its not there with ggg.

Jo og aka underdog aka loompas headband aka og kush is an issue.

Jo is super dominant. All crosses have a distinct sweet flavor.

When I went on my ggg seed buying binge. I knew I loved og.

I liked og kush, loompas headband, abusive, louie, and chem d. This is what I was looking for.

Wow! What a cross. Og kush x og kush. Og x chem d! From a reputable breeder. Description fitting exactly what I wanted. Buy em up. Let's go pheno hunting.

To my surprise, regardless of where jo og came from. It was the opposite of its bastard parents. No og, no kush, no deep fuel, or funk.

Pure sweet candy. Similar to sannies sugar punch if I had to pick a strain that's close in tastes.

Sugar punch is a hit among many. People wanting that sweet taste knows were to get it. The description is just what it is. People are happy.

Now sell those beans as an og. Different feedback im sure.

If ggg keeps jo og around, they should lose the og. Imo.

Also why breed to top notch og cuts if its going to change everything? Breeding to these cuts will attract certain clientele.

I would hit jo x a sweet sativa. Maybe a haze. I feel these combos would bring out the best qualities of a both.

Find a different male to use with the og's. Just my opinion of course.

You're right. Beans are expensive. Imagine spending over 600 dollars and months worth of time to find out it isn't what it claims.

Its frustrating. Im over it. Not mad or bitter. Lesson learned.

I get it man, you are a hardcore OG collector. In my opinion, you are one of the fellas Gage should aim to please considering every bean popped was paid for.

So it might interest you to know that the tester list has hardly any Jo crosses, and the Jo crosses that I saw were BX's. But as for the rest, pretty much each cross is a different daddy.

Hmmm, I have an idea... I will PM you about that.

Funny, but I had the exact opposite issue. I bought Grape Puff expecting grape smell/flavor (based on the breeder description and the name of the strain) and what I got was diesel/fuel smell. Probably what you were hunting for, but certainly not what I was. Ironic. lol

$600 eh? I'd be a little bitter over that too. I only dropped $100 so I'm not upset over it. The time/space wasted is a bigger deal to me. Onward and upward

Maybe they mixed up the packs. Lol

Ha! That might explain it

As unlikely as it is, I'm still not ruling out some shady business from Highlife seeds. I have placed two orders through them, and both ended up having a somewhat sketchy conclusion. The Grape Puff couldn't have been further from what I was expecting, and my pack of Lucky Charms showed up in my mailbox 4 MONTHS after I ordered it. Un-opened package, so customs never fucked with it. The guy strung me along the entire time about replacing the pack, and never ended up doing anything about it. I haven't germinated those yet, but wouldn't be shocked if I end up with 11 seeds of something other than Lucky Charms.

Golden Gage, so far all phenos taste pretty much the same, slightly hashy and quite spicy, no fuel, no sweetness. Just hash and spice. The strongest pheno tastes like straight-up Moroccan hash, the proper spicy white colored one not the black burnt tyres. Finishing times were between 8 and 10 weeks. Slight variation in smells, one has a minty tang, but all pretty much the same. Spice and sour is the best description smell wise. The high is really nice, strong headband, no racy effects, not sleepy, just this really nice brain massage. Not quite 'lose your keys' potency but quite strong enough. Me and the wife will sit down for a proper smoke report soon...

Yes, you read that right. Very vigorous.

They were topped today and I rubbed the tops and smelled them. Nothing yet. Figured I would check because I have had some stinky veg plants before (goji).

I was hoping the Goji clones would have time to root and catch up to these girls, but I don't know..

I will be mainlining these and taking two clones off each plant.

The one far right (#1) is branching pretty well and the girl on the left is branching more than number #3 (front).

#3 has gotten the same treatment as the others, but she developed a calcium def early on and has some mutie leaves. It is beginning to correct itself. Hoping she will stick around and blow me away!
