Stinger96 Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 Good day guys. I ordered 5bns from Trophy seeds 3 popped 2 did not. Popped Ethos beans in breeder packs no problem but the singles from Trophy is now the first problem I have encountered. Any replacement policy from them? Anybody know? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stinger96 Posted May 16, 2023 Author Share Posted May 16, 2023 Ok good. Sad loss those, Ethos beans are not cheap. will not make use of them again. Spent allot of money with them of late. just can not afford it to happen again 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stinger96 Posted May 20, 2023 Author Share Posted May 20, 2023 So the shock continues. Not only did 2 beans not pop the ones that did are sickly. This screwed up our germination rate. These Are such a bad representation of Ethos genetics.! Below some pics. Popped 5 of Tyrone's SSC's and al 5 germed in 3 days straight into FF Seed starter. R20 a bean. 2.5k down the drain. I must say that disappointment is running high. Below the SSC. Most of our genetics are Ethos and of the 20 popped the last few weeks these 5 from Trophy is a disgrace. On a more positive note. Below some Gorilla Glue #4, Mamosa, Velvet Underground,Boo Berry and Catalina Wine Mixer.

I have been hearing a lot of similar things regarding Ethos in general. Probably not the fault of Ethos, I think somewhere during the supply chain a batch of seeds must've spoiled. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stinger96 Posted May 20, 2023 Author Share Posted May 20, 2023 (edited) Def not the problem with Ethos. We popped 15 of their beans the last few weeks and none had the problem we are having now with the singles from Trophy. The others were in breeder packs. These were in Trophy packaging so you have no idea what was put in there. But the wheel turns so no bad vibes. I just had to mention it..

Stinger96 Posted May 26, 2023 Author Share Posted May 26, 2023 Well well seems assif Nico from Trophy has a replacement policy after all. Thanx Trophy .. Will post some progress on the replacement seed here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prom Posted May 26, 2023 Share Posted May 26, 2023 (edited) 200 R for a seed is just to much for most SA growers. Most, I mean 99.9% ^^ So those seeds sit around a long time... if you buy expensive genetics.. OK.. is just mid range would see to get it directly.. not for the cheaper price.. more for seed freshness. The older the seeds.. the less unlikely they sprout. I had 3 year old Dutch premium genetics... just germinated them... 5 critical autos, 5 GSC autos. 4/5 critical sprouted... 0/5 GSC, same plate, same climate conditions. Just looked at a clone cutting ^^ 10k$US.. so over 190'000 Rand no worries.. just looking hehehehe Edited May 26, 2023 by Prom 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkunkPharm Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 This is the reason I only buy regular seeds. If all else fails you hopefully get a male and a female and you can just make more. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stinger96 Posted June 27, 2023 Author Share Posted June 27, 2023 Well, 3 of the 5 replacements germed. Now to see how they turn out.. They were germed with 5 more Ethos beans. By the way they were InHouse and not Ethos. Had it wrong. All the Ethos girls germed. I would say those Inhouse beans could have been stored wrong. The seedlings seem a bit off but they will be given time. It's really the first time in a long time that I struggle with seedling like this. I have germed Swazi beans that are more that 14 years old and never saw the inside of a fridge. So seed storing necer really bugged me but with this... Well I'm not convinced.. Will update with some pics soon. ✌ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stinger96 Posted July 1, 2023 Author Share Posted July 1, 2023 The babies a promised. Inhouse and Ethos. The litlle white wedding is a monster.. The bottom right is a appliscious.. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naughty.Psychonaut Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 I keep missing whole threads Plants are looking great man, excited to see how they turn out!! Wish I knew about this back in 2018. My first time buying "reputable" seeds was from Trophy. All seeds in Trophy tins with a paper inside and the seed info hand written on the paper. Went from over excited to blood boiling as all I have been hearing is the first dodgy activity to look out for when buying seeds is that it should be sealed in the breeder packs. Got Ethos, Barneys Farm, Dutch Passion and Seedsman. Contacted them, they asured me if I buy 10xseed packs I get original breeder packaging, but cause they're singles they have to open bulk packs and repackage them. Couldn't argue that till I saw what the weed looked like, the seeds I carried through to harvest turned out to be legit without a doubt so I always gave them good word of mouth. Out of 9 seeds only 2 of the Ethos didn't pop. Scrapped up the duds to my own level of experience, since it was my first time working with seeds that came from somewhere else in the world, I convinced myself the more expensive seeds demand for more maticulous environmental conditions, cause of their higher standards they been getting used to in the breeders setup. I should have just asked for replacements 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
