Here are comparison pictures of the seeds I received through Attitude. My GreenHouse Seeds all cracked, those being Kings Kush, Super Lemon Haze, Bubba Kush and the Church. The seeds were out of their original packages (freebies) so I didnt take pics. As expected by their size, kwazulu all cracked, but thai sits doing nothing. Here is the Pics of: South African Kwazulu: Wild Thai: Compared to a Afghan clone I mixed with a male Pot of Gold seedling I had: (From left to right: Thai, Kwazulu, (Afghan x Pot of Gold) Hope that helps save someone from ordering the thai from world of seeds. I will update in a few weeks when their seedlings.
you had one bean not crack. it happens, prolly wont deter anyone from ordering the thai. it sucks but happens let them know sometimes they will replace. tell them it was damaged though if you tell them it didnt germ they might give you the souvenir seed line
Actually, that Thai seed looks the same size as most of the Thai seeds I have from different regions of Thailand. Here is a pic to compare the Thai seeds I have. I usually allow them to soak for a day then place them directly into soil, I get over 90% germ rates from mine and they are true land race, not hybridized from a seed company.
CREAMYG: most of the old school "thai" type strains I have dealt with seem to take a long time to crack. A little trick I use on my seeds (that dont pop) is to dry them out good and put them in the refridgerator for about a week then take em out and let them warm to room temp for 2 days or so and moisten them again. THAI strains are pretty tough for a warm season plant, it should pop. Sometimes the seed made by breeders is not fully aged when it is sent to the seed bank and if the bank sells it to quickly some seeds may not be ready. There is a chance yours wont crack but if you try this method I think you'll pop it. It works about 80% of the time.
Very good advice G45. Thai strains seem to take a few days longer than most strains. People are often taken back by thier size, but they grow into monsters, and they are very hard to control indoors. Even the hybridized Thai's are hard to control indoors; especially when they go into that preflowering stretch.
Anytime I pay good money for seeds I expect some results. I had 3 and none have cracked but I will try your method and see what happens. thanks for the advise.
Well, we have cracked one now! woo hoo, I appreciate the advise and letting me know that's what they normally look like. I have to admit I was a little disappointed, so I appreciate the assurance. I will post again when their seedlings.
An Update: The Kwazulu's are doing great, and so is the one Thai that germinated, albeit surprisingly smaller currently than the African Kwazulu. Pics: South African Kwazulu: Wild Thai:
you never heard before about world of shit seeds dont you??? i tell you man i bet you none of them are what you paid for. i had a few problems with that company and after more than seven mounths i never got any seeds back or anything, i'm sorry to tell you: you are actually growing hemp not marihuana. this is the problem of many companys these days they will tell it's 89% thc when you are actually buying a (serious doubts about it) thai male crossed with a female (DOUBT IT TOO) it wont be what you were expecting i'm sure of that, it sucks i know i bought them a 12 pack of feminised and most were MALES AND hermaphrodites in spain (they are spanish) we call them world of shit and its not coz of their quality. and be sure if you write them to complain you will see what im talking about. good luck anyway i just wanted to warn you so you wont expect anything of these plants, maybe this way you will be surprise. cheers
The Thai still is growing slower than expected, but those damm Kwazulu are insane, have outpaced every variety I have ever tried. It clones beautifully too. I feel good with 50% great, but the thai has been average so far. The kwazulu's are 3 weeks into flowering and should be very good. Time will tell when I flower the Thai.
I don't seem to have any problems with my Thai. I've popped many a seed and cut many more clones. I find Thai to be 1 of the easiest to work with. I put mine in a paper towel folded 2x, Spray heavy with warm h2o and put it in a zip loc bag, blow some air in the bag before zippin up, wrap in a good heavy bath towel and place in a warm place for 24hrs. Check to see if any has popped. If they have they be about 1/4" to 1/2". If none popped, wrap back up and leave bag open( but still wrapped in towel). Usually by the end of 48hrs all have popped. Make sure you check every 4 to 6 hrs after you 1st check them. If the seed is viable I get a 100% germination rate. But I have other strains that are giving me fits. I have had seeds take as long as 9 days to germinate, just not Thai. KEEP A GROWIN AND A TOKEN 4/20
Both are still well. The Kwazulu's are insane, I looked at the pics I took 3 weeks ago compared to now.. You tell me! Yikes. I'm not sure what I am going to do to contain them now. I flowered them right after the above picture! They are the ones outpacing everything by 2' One I have bent twice to keep it away from the light but it does want it wants, I should call it cartman. This seems like it would be better suited for a beast of an outdoor plant. By comparison the Thai just went into the flower room...
Well sir dezman0666,Im calling you or a liar or a rookie grover that doesnt know to grow,couse world of seeds got top genetics!I grew it,google it,everybody got good expirience except you.So take whatever conclusion you want from this...
^^BULLSHIT!! If there is one strain I know better than most it is Thai, and that my friend is no true land race Thai. WOS does not have top genetic, not even close, I would be stretching it to call them inferior. They started the company by buying bulk rate seeds from Spanish and Dutch breeders and repackaging them. I think before you call some-one a second rate grower, or say some-one does not know how to grow, you do some research. As with most second rate breeders/seed companies, they are hit & miss; they have some decent genetics and some bullshit. One thing I know for sure is: THAT IS NO TRUE LINE THAI. It has been crossed with an Indica; most likely to lower the time b/c Thai is neof the lngest flowering strains in existence.
Yeah,about that...I've seen your other posts(mostly mudding WOS seedbank despite the fact there was couple of guys showing pics of nearly perfect wos plants that you were claiming was all bad...)so I think I'll just ignore you...Wos is good,people knows it and you cant do sh**t about it...
WHAT A FUNNY!!!! WOS have top genetics HA HA HA!!!! that's funny man. you say i lie??? with such a funny comment, if you call wos top genetics i'm not even bother answer you, funny, van. YOUR NAME IS JOHN? DO YOU WORK FOR WORLD OF SHIT?
obviously i was wrong. i thought this was a free speech forum and obviously it isnt. i tried to give my opinnion, if i knew there were censors here i would never post anything here. but dont worry i will never do it again. i get the fuck out of here!!!
