I took a look at the Cali-Connection and Dr. Greenthumb sites.
About Cali-Connection... Cali-Connection in the United Kingdom? From where I'm sitting, the real Cali-Connection is in California. Don't you think if they ever finally develop a true OG Kush seed, it's gonna happen right here in California? I've never heard of it. I noticed the guy brags about his OG male plant that he has crossed all these killer OG pheno's to with photos of legit OG bud that he got from somewhere. I don't buy it.
Dr. Greenthumb, same thing. Here is the sales entry word for word from the site regarding the so-called "OG KUSH" seeds (accompanied by a photo of a killer OG plant that he got from somewhere):
" On Sale " OG Kush- Original Ghost Cut
Product Code- OGF (Feminized) ♀
[S1 Original Clone NOT a cross]
Huh? How can an original Clone NOT a cross be a seed? Another OG Kush 'expert' this time in Canada?
My advice? Don't waste your money on these criminally over-priced seeds. There is no way they can be real OG Kush. They're just using the name to generate sales, hoping word of mouth won't come back and bite them on the ass. And some shady company in jolly old England using my home state in their very name! Have they no shame?
If you really, really want to grow true OG, do the research and find a reputable shop for clones. Growing from seed is fine, and I'm sure all the other strains are great for this kind of growing, but NOT OG Kush. All these OG Kush seeds have the stink of bogus. I mean, really, I live in freakin' California and it's not always easy for ME to find a legit pheno worth growing. How the hell is some guy in the UK or Canada gonna have the real shit I need?
EDIT: Oh, and I like how Dr. Greenthumb not only has OG seeds, but they're feminized as well? Too good to be true. Feminizing requires even more genetic manipulation techniques, giving more room for weird genetic activity, taking it further away from the original OG mother, if the mother was even a real OG to begin with.
