"Evol Seeds" breeding project

[Mr Piggy]

As to the question you were asking about refunds, I've never seen anyone get a refund form a cannabis seed bank. Doesn't mean it doesn't happen, but it's kinda like buying booze, you're not getting a refund.

What I have seen is seedbanks sending replacement packs when people ask nice and explain their situation in a mature manner. They have a lot of competition and a reputation to defend in the internet age, so a lot of companies are willing to replace bunk seeds. Just make sure to read the disclaimers on their site before mailing them. Some seed banks claim that their beans are just souvenirs and if you mention sprouting them the conversation is over. I've had packs replaced in whole with little to zero fuss. I've yet to come across a seed bank that wasn't willing to at least discus the issue, and I've yet to be ripped off.

yep I'm burnt. thanks for the response Mr Piggy. does anyone know of a seedbank(that shps to the US) that will not rip me off if my seeds are bunk?

 

[Mr Piggy]

Hmmmm, I'd still try to get something out of them. I'd hint around a defective product without mentioning sprouting. standing your ground while being polite and reasonable at the same time will usually get you results.

I have gotten a re-ship from Herbies after I emailed them pictures of a foot-sneaker-mark on one of my shipments. I opted to the 100% guarantee for another $20.00 (?) shipment since I ordered so much. I expressly told them that of the 7 strains sent, that one of them got smashed. They resent all 7.. HEHE! Plus more freebees.

So the project is well under way. It has been stressful to say the least because of the germ rate issues I had. I have chosen the mother afghan kush and made 15 clones 10 will be grown and 5 will be given away because I like to spread the love.
I will not be making a new photo cross but instead an auto AK of my own. I will use the kush van stitch I stabilized a litttle better (always single cola) with one afghan kush clone that has been sprayed with colloidal silver and forced to grow pollen sacks. I know the auto trait would be more dominate if I use the pollen from the auto instead but I believe since that is true then I will get more of the AK qualities I want and can just recross for the auto trait.
I would really love your opinions on this please comment. Pics coming soon.

this is the mother Afghan Kush Special. notice the 9 fingers on the leaves? nice branching, strong stem, will have many bud sites.

this is a Russian Rocketfuel crossed with betty boo. will be a short bonzai type plant like the betty boo. I'm hoping it will have the smell and taste of the rrf. the hairs and pre flower bud structure resemble the rrf although it is not branching the same it will most likely be single cola with 2 branches at the very bottom.


these are Kush Van Stitch from my last seedrun. I gotta give props to stitch because this is the best auto I have ever smoked/grown. they were both fem seeds I made. notice I have made the single cola pheno more stable. I gave several seeds to a friend and he has gotten all single cola so far 5/5
and here are the afghan kush clones 15 in total. this is the 3rd day in the humidity dome so another day or two and I should start to see some roots.

anyone sub'd for this? I know I'm not the greatest grower in the world but this is something I am taking very seriously and am risking everything to do. I had one goal in life and that was to be a rockstar by 27. I'm now 30 and am not even close, so I have reevaluted my life and decided that I will continue writing music but my new goal is to be a professional seed breeder by 45. I really want/need your opinions and comments to be successful because although I am doing this for me it is really for the world.
I want to make something unique. I want to create beautiful potent plants. I want to make life better for everyone whether you are just bored and want to pass time, or are depressed and need to smile and laugh for a while, or if you have a medical condition and need help with pain, nausea, ect..
this is my life. I rarely leave my house. I do nothing but write music and take care of my plants. I'm not a "social" person and I dont have any real friends. plants are my life and I would really appriciate more comments and converstion about this project.

thank you all for reading this I am probably going to lose my house soon and my life is slowly crumbling apart so I appriciate the chance to vent a little bit.
