Never ran CC gear but have read endless bad reports. Swerve as a person and repping CC, he's douchebag/shit head/low life scammer. I ran into him and his crew last year. They were the worst vibes ever. If I were you, save ya money and get legit strains from other breeders. Riot has shown Swerve's sneaky tricks via screenshots. Be careful, you'll never know what your truly getting from CC

I've read many of the same posts and can't vouch for the owners character one way or the other. What I can say is I got what I paid for every time, without issues. Out of 24 seeds I've germinated 20 and all popped, no genies ! As far as quality excellent. I've been toking for 45 years, and my own half of that. I wouldn't knock someone's product unless I've had a bad experience personally. This gives the online community a bad name. I've also read threads ofif other vendors having similar issues with their product. I'm sure some of the issues are operator error and others bad product, what % we'll never know. Rant over

Ran some of Swerve gear years ago... you might get lucky and find something nice in a full pack, but I found duds, runts and herms and the ones I could take to the finish line were the worst in my room.

I also don't know if this is true or not, but I heard he now buys in bulk and doesnt do much breeding/growing... someone posted it on RIU, but I cannot verify and I see daily the hyperbole on these forums, so take it for what it is...

Ran 4 GSC 2 each run got 1 to me has a super spicy hash flavor and surprising good yield, takes forever to finish 74 days. Another around 63 days lower yield, has a great ginger bread, molasses aroma and taste. The other 2 were tweeners as far as finish time, but free way too tall for my space. The 22 is a lot like C99 in every way, longer finish time. Currently doing a Tahoe OG and a 818 Headband. Tried some scuddy's off the bottom, I'm smiling!

FACTS, why buy "authentic" genetics from CC if it's not even his? If you want authentic go with a more reputable breeder who can give you the true lineage. If your buying anything if Swerves, you might as well just save your money & grow bag seeds. How do some not understand that

Because people are stupid, always have been, always will be.
That's how seed companies like Cali Conn, Greenhouse, and even Sensi, stay in business.
By preying on customers that don't know any better.

I bought some of his 818 headband back several months ago, and got it promptly. They didn't grow well and i notified him, and he sent out a free replacement pack immediately. Turns out the problem was on my end as it was the start of my powdery mildew nightmare, but he was great to deal with for me!!

They're not "his", you likely got someone else's genetics with the 818 HB name slapped on it. What's another 10 seeds to him, if he's buying other breeders seeds in bulk? Taking credit for someone else's hard work = scumbag. Bad practices will earn you a bad reputation.

You may very well be right, but wasn't 818 his strain?? All I know is I grew it once before and it was fire. And it is a hard strain to find...almost always sold out. What makes you say this is not "his" strain??

From their site...

"This is a multiple Cannabis Cup award winner. What we’ve done with this clone is that we’ve taken the original Sour Dieseal clone that we’re famous for and crossed that with our SFV OG Kush IBL male. This plants is a larger yielding cut. The original clone is the known as AJ aka Weasel’s Sour Diesel. We dubbed it the original Sour Diesel because it comes from the Chem family personally. It’s a very sold producer, very large buds. I’ve seen up to 2 liter size colas. Fairly strong stems, will need a trellis, fast flower time. Very strong diesel scent with the lemon OG undertone but mainly Sour Diesel influence."

The best strain I ever grew came from Greenhouse as a FREE seed, back 5 years ago....I am still growing it today and it blows everything else away....Their Lemon Skunk. It's super hardy, dense, sticky sweet nugs and a heavy producer! In fact I just battled powdery mildew and out of my 3 long running strains, their lemon skunk is the only that survived...and even flourished. It's awesome stuff, and all from a single free seed years ago. Maybe I got lucky! I'm actually got seedlings of it going right now, run alongside a half dozen other strains and it is blowing all the others away already, at week 2!

I'm growing their Tahoe OG Kush right now. 5 weeks into flower, they're all within 6 inches of each other in height. All 6 popped. They are growing up straight and strong after a couple of toppings. Nothing ticks me off more than having one plant 18" tall next to one 40" tall (in a Current Culture system!) I probably vegged them a week too long but they've really filled out their footprint! Liked them enough to order another 24 to run an entire crop next time. We'll see if the consistency is still there. (Pay no attention to that weird Space Cake in the background. It was abused as a child.)
