Those genetics are pure fire there is no doubt about it, but the potentiality of hermification is vey very extreme and even if the weed is done properly there is always some white empty seeds pods that smell particularly like shit when burned in joint, even if the buds is 6 stars with out of this world look and smell, the smoke smell/taste is terrible at the end. They launch too much genetics to properly select advanced generation like F15-F20, they probably are almost all F2-F3-F4 ??

Fire genetics no doubt but same ingredients over and over with different recipes if you know what I mean. His red pop work was cool but ever since it has been Gary Payton a thousand different ways. Terps are king at this point look at zkittlez shitty looking herb but arguably the most popular strain on the planet right now

I'm trying my 1st and prolly only run of exotic. Cosmic 22. Bakers dozen x falcon 9
So far so good but I'm only 14 days into flower. Watching it like a hawk.

Don’t be scared of EG there’s some insane phenos in his packs. Yes watch the lowers especially in week 3 of flower

This. You can find some fire in his gear. You just have to be on top of anything that might show up on the lowers. Its usually just a couple if it does happen.

This MF seeded my entire tent. It's partially my fault because I thought I got em all. There were more than I expected. Total trash. I even reached out to them and they took 0 accountability. There were 2 other folks complaining about getting a ton of herms. They even banned the word Herm on their discord. Exotic Genetix Bumbo.

I agree; however, some of their older ones are really good. It's been since he sold it. If I ever run anything newer, it'll be regs only.

Looks amazing but plenty of stable genetics that look like too.

Good point.
Maybe several cannabis breed of the last years develop some sort of disease like the Dalmatian dogs, when the movie came out and everybody try to breed them, they probably use brother/Sister to speed up the process . The British royalty blood line have also a genetic disease after brother/sister cousin breed thought time. The HLVd viroid could trigger hermification when the breeding facility are infected ??
When the pollen hit a REG plant with no herm tendency, the seeds produced will be very good though
Waiting for balls in the buds with a 120$ pack is totally unacceptable, if only they admit some error or bad batch.......

Just spent hours in my flower room searching for hermies because I thought I saw a little male nub the other day while watering, but didn’t have time to investigate.
4 out of 5 of my grease monkey S1 fems showing balls in week 2 1/2 !!!!
And 3 out of 4 of them were very sneaky and difficult to locate the pollen sacs, they were hidden pretty well and only had one or two, but still plenty enough to potentially ruin my entire grow. One of them even had a white pistil shooting out of it, first time seeing that in over 20 years of growing.
I didn’t read every post here, but I did notice at least one person calling out people like me because we are new to the site and don’t have pictures of pollen sacks, and maybe their experience with this company was different. However, I think people could post random pictures of pollen sacks if they were really out to discredit the breeder. When challenged, most people just admitted they hadn’t taken pictures. I did, but I expect people to dismiss them and say they’re not from his gear or some such nonsense.
This is a mixed grow all from seed, all fem, with about six other breeders gear in the room and no hermies on them. Just harvested another mixed grow a week before these plants went in and zero hermies then. I mentioned these facts because I am an experienced grower and the room conditions have not changed from this grow to the previous one, which really only leaves the genetics. I have seen hermies over the years, some were my fault and some were genetics, but nothing like these numbers!
I have nothing to gain by slandering any company here, in fact I prefer to lay praise and give credit where credit is due.
This is my only experience with exotic genetics, but it will definitely be my last because that high ratio of easily-hermied plants is absolutely unacceptable, no matter what the price.
The fifth plant I am suspicious of, but I will have to check it again in a couple days and if it’s good I will have to inspect it frequently through the entire grow,… not what I wanted to spend the next two months doing, maybe I’ll just pull it as a precaution and save myself a lot of worry and potentially seeded buds.

Shit man sorry to hear that… nobody’s ever happy to find hermies
I’m currently running 3 exotic genetix strains, in week 6-7 of flower and haven’t seen any sacks upon inspections but hopefully I don’t find any surprises when I harvest

Good luck with those genetics, apparently they don’t all herm but the chances are far too high for my liking.
The sacks in my pics were easily visible, but there were a couple just tucked away tight between the bud and the stem, literally behind the calyx/bract.
Fingers crossed for you , apparently it can be fire if it doesn’t destroy your grow

Definitely not here to argue with anyone but my experience was a little different.
Don’t limit your search to the lowers with this gear, most of the sacks I found were on the lowers but I also found a few less than 6 inches from a couple tops.
I do admit there weren’t many, maybe 1-4 per plant at most but it only takes one sack to pollinate a room.
No fun finding balls on what you thought was a female.
