Hi everyone, and thanks in advance for any responses I am currently in the planning stages of my second indoor grow (the first grow was an overwhelming success, thanks to this site!). I'm having trouble deciding on strains for my next run, and as wonderful as GC is, I find it lacking in the grow report/smoke report areas. I am looking for a site similar to icmag's overgrow section (which has been discontinued it looks like as i cant find any reports after 2006) which allows you to search by strain and provides multiple summaries from various growers listing extremely useful info such as growth pattern, phenotype descriptions, flower time, yield, etc. Does anyone know of any other sites or Seedbank sites that include reviews with this kind of valuable info? Attitude has a great website, but I was surprised that there aren't customer reviews specific to each strain with any of this info. Any suggestions for places I can nerd out and read third party reviews and reports on strains would be greatly appreciated . Thanks!
nope. the seeds are sold as souvenirs, and not to be germinated, by UK law. And since the UK is where 90% of the seedbanks are these days......... so if they put our grow reports online, they would be shut down and prosecuted.
This is a pretty big generalization.....there are many North America and Amsterdam based banks that provide genetics to legal medical users/growers in a number of countries. Furthermore, there is no way that any Seedbank or breeder (uk based or otherwise) could prevent third party grow reports being posted online on independent sites. And these sites do exist, I have ready found a few (GC included).....so saying these sites do not exist for the reasons you gave is completely inaccurate IMO. I feel that the only reason there aren't more grow reports out there is that many growers are too paranoid and/or lazy to properly submit a report. It's too bad as this info on different phenotypes, growth patterns, nutrient requirements, etc. could help a ton of people. I recently finished my first ever grow and made sure to include a thorough journal and smoke report in hopes of helping future growers.
A. GC doesn't ship seeds to the US. B. and yes SB it does happen .. ask Speedy Seeds ( UK), or Marc Emery ( Canada).
I take it back .. you should move along to the Mr. Nice forums. those will have what you want. and you can just go to buying Mr Nice genetics to boot. but you 'll never see the Attitutde or SoS or SB showing off grow reports.
Saying there arn't grow reports on the web? Have you surfed the icmag vendor forums? Tons of grow reports/smoke reports for most vendors. Yeah it doesnt cover every seed available commercially on the web, but it is something. There is also RiU and seedfinder. I dunno, I can't shake the feeling you didn't really look that hard.
I do use SeedFinder.eu :: Marijuana Strain Database | Search | Research as a reference & to give me some idea of what to expect. But I do notice that some of their findings are word for word from the breeders websites descriptions. I noticed you said that your first grow was a 'overwhelming success' because of GC. If so why go anywhere else? You have all of the info you need right here plus the expertise of some experienced growers. Cheers
