OK.Alphakronik Genes Seeds
you guys ever heard of um?
There on the tude and look like they got some nice cross's check um out.
I did my research on these guys. Since I know Subcool as a long time friend, I also knew they snorked some of his genes and his menu items.
With that said, i was curious about what they did with some of Subs stuff as well as headband and snowdogbx.
I have had about 200 dollars worth of Alphas beans around for about 8 months. I had the occasion to need to pop about 50 beans. I used the same tech for bean popping I always have..rapid rooters, once popped, sink rapid rooter in hi grade basic soil until it roots, then transplant into one gallon pots of Subs super soil...but a lite version.
I popped twenty Dr Who...all poppped and all are now getting ready to go from 400 watts of ho t5's to a few weeks under MH and then into ten gallon pots and into the 4k hps bud room.
I popped twenty Time Wreck...same result as above. All seeds were vigorous as hell.
I popped 5 freedbies from the Tude..some Barneys Pineapple Chunk, and some critical kush, and three other freebie fems from DNA and Royal Queen...all popped and took off.
Now..to the Alphakronic. They truly sucked under the exact same conditions. One of them made it into the baby stage and is under a small t5. The other 4 actually started popping and died. No vigour. Weed seeds.
Given that I used 7.0 ph water, pure hi grade soil with little or no supplements, then transplanted to a light version of subs super soil...the Alpha Kronic never made it out of the Rapid Rooter. They broke open and died.
I have heard this story over and over with peeps who have spent good money because their genetics seem interesting.
But after I purchased the beans, I talked to Sub and he gave me the story. These folks at alpha are NOT BREEDERS.
They make stuff that SOUNDS good, but they have not tested their work before charging for it.
We, the payers, are their tests.
They failed. I have five other packs of their crap. I am now looking for someone who has done me wrong who needs this crap.
Too bad. I like to support new breeders who at least have one product that never fails.
I have popped hundreds of TGA and the only time they failed I can find my error...ususually overwatering.
But one out of 4?
That is embarassing.
If Jay wants to call me, please PM me and I will explain more carefully what I did. I also will give these same genes a second chance if they replace the seeds.
But absent an attempt to replace the seeds and let me do my thing, which is good tech and lots of experience and great growers as friends, I will just tell the world that their genes suck and dont wast their money.
Of course, I am going to pop the rest of the crap I have just to see if the rest does the same as before.
I really wanted their genes to work.
But after telling Sub their genes sucked, he gave me the long explaination.
Not everyone that has good cuts they 'borrowed' from other people can actually breed the the genes they have.
Breeding is an art. Throwing seeds onto the market is foolish without long tests.
But, I will give them huge props if they can proove to me their genes are worth growing.
that will start by replacing the ones that died in vitro.
