Yeah, I don't know what happened. I've grown their Jellybreathe bx1 and Platinum Silk with no crazy issues. But for some reason the Slurricane ix just wont pop for me. And I know I know people will say well you must've did something wrong. And I get it. They are a big name that is putting out some heaters. Next bit of info, I been growing indoors for the 7 years or so. And used to grow outdoors in the later half of the 80's and 90's. So I've definitely popped my share of beans. But it is what it is, and that's my story. And that's all there is to it. Not asking for any sympathy or free hand outside. Just making other buyers aware. Period.
