What nonsense do you speak of?

Are the new releases as described?

Im sure genuity will tell you the truth.

Maybe you can get some sugar coating on the answer .

we all know ggg has a problem with descriptions. Where they go from here is the question.

They could match the descriptions to experience and input from testers. Describe accurate accounts.

Or they could continue to hype up the strain to what it's not.

Their future is up to them. Honesty, integrity, morals and ethics go along way.

I don't see any nonsense here. If you do, pm me. Ive got seeds that grow gold nuggets that I can sell you really cheap.

Would appreciate it. Tried looking all over the net but most people seem to be more interested in the other strains. But then again i've always been attracted to the less popular.

Here's GGG's description of Grape Puff:

"Discover a world of diamonds with the Grape Puff, another glistening reinvention of the Grape Stomper genetics that will surely impress and effectively medicate. We selected the Grape Stomper 3A, a phenotype of the Bright Moments , for its early flower and its abundance of never-ending resin. The Grape Stomper 3A will develop colas of frost and finishes flower early.

Expect to find many resinous phenotypes that feature lanky golden trichomes that ooze syrupy grape aromas all day. Our testers all set on frost very early on and finished flower very quickly. Smells of orange blossom as well as melon, pineapple, peach, apricot, and vanilla, can all be experienced in some of these phenotypes.

The resin is quickly approaching, be prepared."


Here's my description after growing it:

Average weed. Both females were identical in smell, taste, structure, and smoke. No grape, orange, melon, etc aroma or taste detected (even after a long cure). A slight diesel smell would be the best way to describe it. Middle of the road as far as frost and effect/high go as well. It took 9 weeks to finish, not 7 or 8 as claimed by the breeder.

My point is, don't put much stock in what the breeder has to say about his own work. Ever see a breeder describe one of his strains as average? Don't fall for the hype (from any breeder) and be waiting in line for the first drop of anything. If the genetics are great, they will make more seeds. Look for objective reports from growers who are not affiliated with that breeder and base your decision on the feedback you see from them.

Not at all putting too much into the description but at the end of the day it's all you got to use sometimes. Choosing Talisman was kinda like a girl you're interested in. You don't know enough about her and neither do your friends but you just have a urge to wanna know more. You already know there is a 50/50 things could go either way but you just wanna know.

Nonsense. A cherry/grape/cheese whatever smelling or tasting plant is a GENETIC trait. What, do you grate some Parmesan in to your soil and expect the buds to smell like cheese????

You know this genuity

and that genetic trait will not shine with a bad grow..ect

organic taste better than chem right? and may give more high/stone?
or LED grown bud vs hps buds vs sun grown buds?

what do you put in your soil? or hydro system?

it's all on the grower.....

My Confirmed GrapeStomperBX MALE. Very beefy solid stems. Can't wait to breed with his clones.

WP_20140710_007.jpg

My suspected female. Branchiest (or was before I took clones and mainlined) and branched earlier than the others.

WP_20140710_006.jpg
My suspected male. Not too hot about the structure. Probably won't breed with him.

If it is female I will flower tho.

I agree with your general point that a dialed in environment can bring out the best in a strain. A good grower is not going to turn inferior genetics in to top shelf bud though. IMO (unless you're a complete noob) the quality of the finished product is mostly a genetic thing. I've come across plants that were terrible, and others that were outstanding. The environment remained the same for them all. The only variable was genetics.

Is diesel a common smell for Jo OG?
Click to expand...
from the genetic makeup,it should..

being it's a bag seed......from loompas headband aka candkush(with a name like that,how could it have any sweetness)..ect

i get fuel fumes smells,from some crosses with jo og..

I disagree. I've got no fuel. Just sweet candy.
I've always heard loompas headband as a powerful og. I've never even heard it referenced as candy. I've heard it described as a strong og flavor and smell.

Here it is straight from loompa
"Underdog OG is one of our flagship clones. This clone is not in circulation. The defining characteristic, beyond the standard OGK, is in the medicinal effects. It’s similar to other OGs with the strong body stone. This particular OG clone also hits with a strong sativa head high blended with a strong indica body stone. This rare combination creates a strong pain alleviating effect. It can be overwhelming for those not smoking regularly. Smoking this strain during the day can often end your day immediately. This plant harvests between 8-10 weeks, our personal favorite is 10 weeks"

I've ran yeti underdog bx aka headband bx and got no sweet candy.

I got fuel and nail polish smelling og.

Makes sense. Obviously I ended up with both leaning that way. Considering that I've now grown grape stomper (I hope I'm not on a secret GGG kill list for it) and see the potential in those genetics, I could see how someone would have an all together positive experience with those crosses. I just think that Gage would be better off being a little more forthright about the common phenotypes. If through their testing they found Jo dominant expressions 50% of the time, then it shouldn't be all "dripping with grape flavored syrup for days". I should be aware of what I might find, and that might prompt me to take a pass on the seeds, or I might order 2 or 3 packs to really dig in and find what Im looking for.

Less creative writing and more facts
