Canadian Seed exchange?

panamajuice · 05-12-2006, 10:35 PM

I friend just got back from Toronto with whole bunch of seeds from this place....

CSE

I told her to buy Bubblegum and Chronic from serious seeds...

She got those and a whole lot more...

If you see the description on most of those strains they are the same as SS and SensiSeeds and others but the name of the original seedbank is not present...

Are these rip off seed or what?.

I got one called AFGANI X (xxx)?, got one one freebe.

well, it appears to me like cse does not sell serious seeds. only almighty, doc bush, cse, toronto seedbank, a nameless seed co?, and willy jack seeds. i've heard of willy jack but i don't really know much about those ones. i wouldn't say a rip off but i haven't heard much about them. they seem fairly expensive for breeders i know little about.

What you got is seeds that you or I could make at home given we had a male and female plant from the original seedbanks. In other words, most canadian seedbanks buy seeds from big name breeders and then they recross them themselves, put a big price tag on it and then just rake in the cash from Americans who are willing to cross the border to buy them.

Damn, these people copy even the advertisment for the seeds...

Serious Seeds Bubblegum says:

Quote:

Originally the Bubble Gum was developed by growers in In- diana, USA. From there the genetics moved to New England and eventually Holland. lt took many generations to finally produce this stable Bubble Gum, with the characteristic, sweet smell (truly resembling a typical Bubble Gum taste) and euphoric high; the original trademarks of this famous strain.

The only inbred strain (no F1 hybrid) on the Serious menu. Winner of two awards in the High Times Cannabis Cup of 1994, a 2nd place in 1995 and again a 2nd prize in 1999, gives Bubble Gum a total of 4 awards from the judges.

Canadian Seed Exchange says

Quote:

Bubblegum is a treat with its sweet fruity aroma and taste. Bubblegum was developed in the U.S.A., brought to Holland in the 90's and further refined. Bubblegum is quick to produce vegetagtion, flowers in about 8 weeks and has highly resinous flowers. Bubblegum has a sweet aroma and just as sweet taste. Imagine savouring this selection as you ride a really uplifting high. Bubblegum is a former Cannabis Cup winner 94, 95, and 99.

I wonder if these seeds are any good... Don´t wanna find out the hard way but unfortunately that is the only way to find out.

Anybody else has something to say about these guys?, maybe some reassurance

i see willy jack ones are sold on doc c as well. the description fits what rhino says about them.

Quote:

Willy Jack uses a very strict process of parent selection when breeding these exceptional strains. 50 seeds of each of the strains were purchased from seed companies in Amsterdam. Only the strongest and most vigorous specimens were used to produce seed stock. All Willy Jack strains are regularly tested; germination rates are close to 100%

the prices are only about 10 dollars less there so maybe the prices are not overly high for the same seeds at cse versus other seedbanks. not sure where the others are sold to compare.
i believe drgreenthumb.com in canada has a reputable reputation. they dont sell the main breeders seeds but i have heard people rave about some of their strains potency. i've been leary about the canada ones since heavens stairway though. i would definitely grow them out if i had them. heck serious seeds bubblegum is supposed to be an ibl and if ya cross two ibl's of the same strain shouldn't ya get a very similar product? some non-ibl crosses might be somewhat not the same as the original but they could still be fine pot.

Rhino1973 · 05-13-2006, 07:51 AM

You'll get a similar product, but they won't be as stable as the originals. A friend of mine that frequents Amsterdam twice a year was just talking to me about Canadian seedbanks a couple of weeks ago. He was the one that told me how they get their strains. But he said you can usually get them for about half the price of the same seeds from the original breeders.

I think I may need to start reading up about strains and such cause I don´t even know what a ibl is----

Does this means they won´t be all similar?

Rhino1973 · 05-13-2006, 08:42 AM

It means that it is likely they will show some variety. Some may grow faster, some may develop dense buds while others may be loose. But don't get discouraged. They very well could be stable. Let us know when you grow them.

Be sure to label your clones and keep the ones from your best plant.

Well, so far so good...

I used the paper towel method and in 2 days I germed:
6 out of 6 BUBBLEGUM
8 out of 10 Chronic
1 out of 1 AFGANI X

Only 2 seeds to go, they look like they`re gonna make it.

Rhino1973 · 05-15-2006, 05:55 AM

nice.

I hope lots of them are girls for ya.

I am on day 3 of germing 1 hog, 1 sage, 1 lethal purple, and 1 pot of gold with no success yet. Same method.
