Greenhouse Seeds AVOID like the plague! 20% germ rate from 15 seeds

i started having failure rates increase with germ,came to find out the water PH i was getting from the city has risen to 7.9 , its was much lower when we moved here
You are welcome to laugh at this question later but.... If your tap is shit (7.5) as mine is, then I should germinate in ph adjusted water?!

Yes dude i always fill my water tank up and leave it to stand uncovered for 3 days that evaporates most of the chlorine used to clean the water. Then adjust the ph down to 5.8 (the ph will slowly rise naturally) leave it for 24 hours check the ph level (adjust if needed) and you have some stable ph'd water ready to germ those beans.

Got some SLH going right now. All 5 popped, but one was a weakling so I killed it. Had some Arjan Haze 3 last spring. Got 10 seeds and 9 popped.

I'm glad you got the refund from the seedbank, and if they're getting multiple complaints then that's legit info you're bringing to the table. I'm sceptical about somebody claiming to have "researched" internet forums, though. There are so many growers on these places with various degrees of ability that you can't really tell if it is their fault or the seeds. I find that there are a lot of GHS bandwagon bashers out there. Somebody hears some soap opera bullshit about Arjan doing this or that (usually being a douchey businessman), and then all the self-righteous people living in thier glass houses start to pile on.

Anyway, I think if you research the comments on this thread, you'll find the 60/40 against/for split is not even close to that. More like 10\90 against/for.

ps. My two 1970 Honda Ct 70s are still going strong, so Honda can't be all that bad.

I will say it. I dont give a rats ass what success rate you have had in the past. I still say you fucked up somehow and just want to pass the blame. Face the fact you failed and get over it. Go crying to your mommy next time. Nobody around here wants to here your sissy whining...........

I understand that but through frustration of wasting valuable time i have started this thread. These will continue to pop up now and again unless they can sort this out. I understand it isnt too common to get 100% germ rates. 50/50 in this case would have been ample.



Many thanks. I am not a hater for no given reason. The grows i have seen have been phenomenal like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7h2BKfvYsNM It was this video that encouraged my decision to go GHS.
But for now i shall continue onwards with my own personal favorite seedbanks and return to greenhouse in the future.

I do not wish to come across as arrogant i was just rather pee'd off with my wasted time.

Again thanks for all of the input.
i totaly agree !!!!!! i would be pissed..I wonder if the fail is from the way they make femed seeds?force a female to make polen ,use that to pollenate next female...seems it would cause alot of hermies ,exspecialy is water not PHed proper,and would be a problem for all breader ..imo i think.lol
AND cowboy you have a small dick and should not be alowwed to reproduce,why you come to this thread?you mom own GHS?? you penis ...bet most of your 3,000 + posts are negative comments right!!??wennie

Just for the record...seeds dont need pH'd water. The reason we pH water is to ensure nutrient uptake, seeds have no roots and seedlings generally contain all the nutrients they need for that first stage of life so they dont really need pH'd water until they're above ground and starting to grow. Just so people know.
 
well, my 2 cents. I have started 30 GHS (Church, Big Bang, and SLH) and 28 of them germinated. Maybe I had a lucky experience with them. I don't know, but 1 of those cracked and I think it was me who fucked it up, so really 29 of 30 germinated. Hard to say, but I do know I have had good experiences with them. I hear the people with worries and bad experiences, honestly I may really think twice before ordering again. Hard to say, cheap seeds are a risk to begin with. I just hope I get two really great mothers from my plants.

Yeah i suppose it is a major coincidence that it happened with the GHS seeds? But the sensi seeds i received on monday have all germed by this morning? So my method has to be wrong?... Right

Sissy wining? You sound like your father. People like you Cowboy are brilliant on these forums, typically the type of person who is lacking something in there life and have to make up for it by trolling forums and chatting bollox which to be fair is kind of pointless to the thread. The amazing thing is in person you wouldnt be as confruntational that is why the internet is here...to give people like you a voice, a voice they do not have in real life situations.... You do that on the street and some guy fucks you up. On the internet you get away with it. Easy..

i'm growing out their super silver haze right now. one of my favorite genetics. a friend just grew out some of greenhouse's feminized and i believe has just germinated some super lemon haze (i see a lot of people have this genetic) that he bought recently. he's around here somewhere.

it's too bad you had a bad experience with them. there are some shady seed sellers out there but they aren't one of them. one bad post costs them a lot more then it would cost to sell you viable seeds.

I understand that. But if you look through this thread you will notice a lot of the people using GHS seeds have been growing Super Lemon & Silver Haze with amazing results.
I also understand your point regarding the distributor however the dist i use are very good and i have never had a problem with any other seeds i have received from them (only 3 seeds have remained uncracked after 7 days and that is from 10 other strains with up to 6 seeds per strain)

My main issue is the time i have wasted and i am sure those who are in strictly goverened areas regarding growing would appreciate this.

I speak the facts and it makes me an insecure troll. Yet you are the one that felt a need to posted a scorecard or you germ rates in your sig. And lets see. You have said same method on all 3 batches of Church seeds along with the other strains. The others germed but the Churches did not. All 3 times correct? Yet after the 1st and 2nd failure you used the SAME method yet again and failed. Off to the computer to blame GHS. Did you ever stop to think maybe the strain called Church may not be responding to your method? Fuck no. Not my fault. Gotta be GHS. Guess what? Some beans take less and some take more moisture to trigger the germ. And the fact is this is your failure, not GHS.

Its a smoke score you tool and its just coincidence my sensi and nirvana beans are now in rockwool and the church still havent germinated 10 - 14 days later. . .

End of subject. You irritate me
