I'm glad you had a positive result with the Hashplant and The Purple kush. I only bought some CKS seeds after talking to a guy at a head shop on a couple of trips. He said he was eyeing the Purple Kush because it reminded him of a Purple kush cut he had in the mid 70's and what he had read/seen/heard it was killer. By the next time I had come back he said that the PK plants were amazing and was "for sure" the same cut he had many moons ago and that now he was starting the White Widow from CKS as well and they looked great in veg. So I grabbed the Hash Plant hoping it's an old school kind of HP and the Crown Royale just because this guys claims about the PK and WW and since it's a mix of both I'd give it a try. I haven't run them yet since I have like 40 + packs of different strains I have to start plus my crosses to run as well but it's good to see good reviews gives me hope.

Just finishing a 3rd CKS. Bought 2 packs of 5 northern lights auto / Candy cane.
Gave 1 northern and candy seed away to a buddy. Both his germed/grew.

My 3rd is about to be harvested, with 2 others exiting seedling stage, and 2 more popping outta the soil.
So out of 10 seeds, 9 have popped so far. Haven't tried the last seed yet. So 100% success rate as of yet.

2 Candy canes are the same pheno so far, but my second turned purplish due to winter temps. 1 northern lights only just finished a week and a half ago but the two exiting seedling stage both are northern lights and appear to show same pheno also.

Ordering was easy, quick to my door.
No complaints so far other then the damn price. Decided if I'm gonna pay that kind of money, I'd go with other seeds next time. So I have purple OG 18, Green crack, vanilla kush, and LSD here next.

Pics below of my 2nd candy cane auto about to be rdy and first northern L that was chopped.
Northern was chopped a bit early due to family staying a while. :(

If it's Barney's Vanilla Kush Skip it, I've run them and wasn't impressed. The DNA/RP Purple OG #18 was excellent she didn't like heavy nutes thought less is more.

Yeah it's barney's. Damn, the wife was hoping it was good. I'm excited for the OG#18. Thx for the tip.

Cheers

I haven't had an issue with them. 7 for 7 seeds sprouted for me as per their instructions to germinate. 2 for 2 for my buddy also.
I've been on 20/4 light cycle for the 5 I have going now.
I do find they go into flower very quickly after maybe 4 weeks of veg, give or take.
I will note that I have only grown their autos, Candy cane and Northern lights.

The candy cane I find most of the phenos are short/wide growing plants with a crap ton of frosty goodness on them. I dont bother to trim these as much anymore, as there are so many sugar leaves I just said F it. Took me half the day last time. A quick strain I find, with a yield on the lower side. My first one pulled 42g of crystally god damniness. Prob a good plant for hash/oil.

The Northern lights, seems to pull a bit more yield. I pulled around 80g or so off my first one, and she was cut early :(
She grows bigger/taller than the Candy cane, and I find that she's more tolerable to trim at harvest time. I will admit, she doesn't show a whole lot of frost, or sugar leaves for that matter, but she has some nice sparkle on the calyx's themselves. A medium str stone I would say, and not as strong as the candy cane. More on the upper side, prob due to the early cut. I enjoyed the smoke quite a bit.
She like to stretch in her 2 weeks, quick to flower also, but flowering time is a few weeks longer then my candy cane.

Anyways, some pics of the others. 2 tall one's are the Northerns in their stretch, and the two little one's I'm attempting to LST for the first time, are Candy Canes.

The nugget I'm holding is Candy cane, nice and compact. Didn't trim it much as you can see. Prepping to smoke that while the main cola (pic) is drying, to test out the flavour :) Smells kinda like grapes... mmm

Also, both tolerate low to medium nutes well. I've also jacked em on heavy nutes every watering and they took fine too, but will eventually lockout Cal/mag in the middle of flowering ... so no more of that.

Highly recommend their Black Indica; can't say the same about their White Widow. Like night and day really. BI's grew like mad but 4 of the WW's died within a few days of germ. The one WW remaining is currently about day 35 on 12/12 and exploding with bud sites; a monster. Go figure. Seems like some of their strains are legit while others are...troubled. Northern Lights auto has been recommended as well. The black indica is a great smoke btw. Eucalyptus mixed with grape bubble gum. :sleep:

Not sure why peeps are having germ issues. Popped 10 white cookies and all sprouted and survived with no issues. Currently just popped 5 WW and all 5 are growing well with no issues. IMO I think some issues may be due to poor storage and attention to detail. You get out what you put in!! CKS will continue to receive my business. Peace!!

I spent 75 bucks on Crown Royale seeds and they sprouted only too Die the next day. I been growing cannabis all my life and never had my seedlings die until now. I will never buy from Crap King Seeds ever again!

Idk why people spend their money on this garbage... Their "white cookies" looks nothing like actually cookies and their other genetics don't look authentic at all..

Must be doing damage control for all their shitty reviews..Look at this review that is obviously funded by Crop King...

http://the-junky-g.com/Online_Shops/Reviews/Crop_King_Seeds/

Reviewed by a site I've never heard of that has an ad to buy their seeds on the side. Total bullshit.l and completely obvious.

None of. My business what people spend their money on but it really gets me when companies sell false genetics. Reminds me of that fast bud autoflower company and their "gorilla glue" and cookie autos that look awful. People will do anything for a quick buck off unsuspecting victims..

The thing with Crop King seeds bought in a store off the rack is that you don't know how long they've been sitting there. I bought 5 White Cookies at a store, a pretty slow one, and only 2 sprouted. I was lucky to get one really good pheno. The other one was leafy and low resin. Both had very nice bud shape and density, just that only one put out enough resin to be useful and wasn't excessively leafy, which from photos I've seen of grows is the most common pheno. It's an Indica looking pheno while the good one is more of a perfect hybrid looking one. That could be a 1 in 1000 pheno for all I know. I hit the lottery on that one, only 2 seeds and 1 practically perfect plant. No foxtailing at all even in heat. Really nice shaped visually appealing buds. You just gotta avoid the leafy Indica phenos, pretty weak due to lack of resin and more work to manicure. You can identify them by the very wide bud leaves. The good pheno has little skinny ones and few of them. Really easy to manicure. Another good point of the strain is very low odor in growth.

My main point though is that there's a lot of old seeds being sold, especially in stores. They keep them out on display at room temp. I bought 2 seeds from another store, different seed company, one didn't pop at all and the other poked out and then died, a sure sign of old seeds. Glad I only bought 2 that time.

All the seeds that I bought from Crop King seed were born with only one set of true leaves they withered and died. I have germinated 5 year old seeds with no problems but crop King seeds sold me some bogus seeds.

I believe it really is a cross of WW and GSC though. I can see characteristics of both. It's just not stabilized to a good pheno. Some are resinous like WW and others not. The low resin ones are on the weak side. The resinous non-leafy ones are actually very good all around.

The way it looks I have no grow I have 3 seeds left that I am hoping will not lose the cotydol leaves wither and die. I am looking for a seed bank that delivers to Chicago, it's a pain in the ass that herbies seeds no longer wants to take credit card. It's not normal for a seedlings to be born with only one true leaf unless it's a weak pheno I usually would throw them away not worth the electricity, nutes and my time.
