THE TRAINWRECK. Brought to you by thcfarrmer…..

Yeah these came in original breeder packs, too, but I have gotten seeds in dope baggies from NASC before, too, so I know what you mean. No these were definitely Blimburn's original packaging so I can't really blame NASC for this one.

Also just to clarify, there can be no confusion about this strain. It's literally so unique that I can identify it by smell in veg. It has a very unique terpene profile. I have been growing Forbidden Fruit since like 2018 when I got a cut from a mother plant that came from the original creators of Forbidden Fruit, back when *nobody* had Forbidden Fruit seeds/clones and the few growers that did have it kept that shit on lockdown.

Whatever the strain is I got in this pack of Blimburn is absolutely without a doubt *not* Forbidden Fruit. Maybe they tried to make it and had shitty pheno's of Cherry Pie or Tangie. Mistakes happen. I'm not entirely sour on Blimburn for this. To be honest, I had my doubts that *any* Forbidden Fruit seeds would be legit no matter where they came from. Maybe I got a bad batch, maybe I got a mix-up somebody sorting seeds somewhere maybe mislabeled them? Who knows?

But yeah, pretty disappointed. Can't say I wasn't warned, either. Logic warned us about them.

Now that I have officially taken those seeds from germ to chop and confirmed beyond a reasonable doubt that it is not Forbidden Fruit, I'll try reaching out to Blimburn and see if they want to try making it right. I'll always give someone the benefit of a doubt, once.

That tent shake at the end… my cat yeti getting on top of my tent, it’s her sleeping spot

She’s the biggest shit disturber in the house, hunts the other 4 cats thell dive bomb them off the tent

And now you know why everything in my tent is triple secured

Looking great! Btw, how long did you need to veg with all that training etc? My guess would be about 8 weeks, but perhaps even more...

6 weeks and 1 day planted on Feb 7th into the 30’s

Starting march 11 I started removing an hour every 4 days, on march 22 they officially dropped from 14/10 to 12/12 today marks week 9 end, start of week 10 flower

Yes I have extensive notes

Can’t show the calendar it’s from a local store lol

Oh, that's awesome! 6 weeks isn't that bad. I wouldn't mind a long veg, but so far I always smoke so much of my homegrown, that it won't last me until the next harvest. So I'm thankful for every week that I can save.
I also used a local calendar from a pharmacy when I started again last year. But then after a couple of weeks in, I realized that my mind was so centered around growing, that I never needed the calendar.
My last beans hatched on April 3rd. So they had exactly 4 weeks of veg before switching. Now it seems that it was a close call (without training), I'm getting close to reach the height limits of the tent again. But I'm in week 4 of flowering now, so I expect them to stop stretching soon.

Yep it’s not needed to have but it’s for future reference. I have a large notebook as well but once I passed page 80 I just started using a calendar lol

@Mikedin Oh and I noticed that there is constant music in your grow room. I experiented with music a bit too and plants really seem to like it. I even had the idea to try and impact the effect with different genres of music, but that would require more than one tent. Seems impossible to me, but wouldn't it be fun if you could turn an Indica into a Sativa (effect wise) by playing it something like the Ramones 24/7

Maybe they'll reach out privately.....3 years ago placed a 30 seed order through that NASC and my order took 2 weeks, all seeds came in little clear baggies with little sticker labels. 12 seeds didn't germinate and the ones that made it to the chop, were definitely NOT the proper strains!! Never ordered from them again. Original breeder packs OR from the cools folks on this site

They sell their own white label seeds in packs like that. I have had issues with germinating seeds from them also, but I chalk my issues up to improper seed storage. I never reached out to them because I assumed it was my fault. In their defense I will say that the Cheese white label feminized seeds I bought from them were exactly what I expected them to be. This is probably due to the fact that they are such a large local seed vendor, and that being local means that the dispensaries and black market growers are using the same stock. So the Cheese was spot on the same stuff that I had gotten from the black market years prior. But that’s just my experience with them. I’m sure others have had wide ranges of experiences with them both good and bad. The difference between a good business and a bad one is what they do to make things right for unhappy customers.

My girls like smooth jazz. From GPT:

• Evidence exists that classical, jazz, and soothing soundscapes are often correlated with improved plant growth and resilience.
• Harsh genres like rock or techno sometimes show neutral or even negative effects.
• Proposed mechanism involves how plants perceive and respond to physical vibrations, not the music itself.
• Skeptics remain, pointing to methodological flaws and the possibility that attentive care is the real driver—not music.

I know most say classical music like Beethoven is what they like but it’s all frequencies, it’s something I’ve also thought about with the Lights, Frequencies are everything it’s not that they are listening it’s the vibrations, led lights emit as frequency as well, does that affect them as well? So do your WiFi routers, Phones, lights in your house, wires in the house, gets deep when you think about it

So I’ll play anything just to have the tunes jammin, it’s usually a 70’s classic rock station but when I’m really jammin my random playlists come on and I start making videos with whatever plays

Usually a different music genre in every video

Yeah, I think it also depends on the volume. In one old experiment from the 70s or so, they used Acid Rock to show that plants prefer classic music. But to me it was obvios that haven the plants right next to the speaker with music BLASTING would stress them over time. I think somebody on here also once mentioned that intense thunderstorms seem to freak the plants out - even when indoors. But yeah I agree that it's all about vibrations, as Mike mentioned. I usually go for something like Roots Reggae, because it seems to have the perfect mood to it.

Have you even seen this btw:

I had a similar experience when I started out growing, I made a few purchases from growers choice seeds (a seed bank, not a breeder vendor) and the Strawberry Cough was anything but strawberry flavored and it definitely didn’t expand in your lungs to make you cough. I grew a few more strains from them and continued to have my expectations shattered come harvest time.
I finally came to the conclusion that they were not a reputable company that I could trust and continue to do business with.
Certain things stood out, repeated use of stock photos, weird write ups of strain descriptions and an overall abundance of strains that were otherwise nearly impossible to find elsewhere. So I stopped buying seeds from them, and those patterns that I had noticed were now a litmus test for other seed banks, eventually leading me to only buy seeds from vendors that offered seeds from different breeders. I have recently been blessed with seeds from certain members of this community which aren’t even commercially available and I now struggle when it comes time to pop some seeds, because ultimately I trust the breeders who are on here and available for tips and pointers more so than commercially available products.
