Well i'm going for fem's for the first time and i've decided to go for DNA Genetics, the strains that i'm lookin at are as below

1) Kushberry
2) Rocklock
3) Sharksbreath
4) L.A Women
I'm not popping all at once but there doing a deal just now if you buy any 3 packs from DNA then you get a free 6 pack of L.A Woman which is worth £55 so its a pretty good deal really

Any info on any of these strains would be great guys, cheers

E2a:- this is hopefully to go at the same time as the sweet seeds comp if i get picked to grow them, but that also depends when its gonny happen as i'm hoping to get started in about a week

Hey evens181,
I think you should change the LA.Women for LA.Con.. just my 2p.. also what about the Chocolope or may be called D-line now? ..Kushberry is suppose to be very good, and so are the other two i have recommended LA.Con/D-line! ..Not heard of Rocklock, is it a Warlock cross?.. if so that would be interesting, some of the fruitest dence buds ive seen, smelt and tasted- smoke was as strong as i thought. Could of been as it was grown by the unexperienced.
A nice selection you have chose still, couldnt fault DNA/Res as i've heard- top quality Cali genes.
Sticky!

Hey Sticky mate i cant change the L.A Woman as there the freebies, if i buy 3 packs i get them for nothing which is really why i'm buying the 3 packs plus the more strains the better

As for the D-Line there to big for my space i've got height restrictions so its a no no from the description on the DNA website

Ye the Rocklock is a warlock cross as i was going to get Warlock Fem's but then when i seen this deal i though i'd give the Rocklock a go and see how she is and then maybe try Warlock on another grow to see the difference

Thats good to hear about the Kushberry as it does sound very nice, hopefully DNA will be as good as i'm wishing for

like you say there meant to be top quality so we'll see, it was actually mr mullens diary of the lemon skunk that made me look at DNA seeds, its looked amazing, but again with the lemon skunk being a plant that likes to grow tall i decided against it

DNA are new to the Fem game. Smoketilluchokes diary had 5 femmed DNA LA confidential, they all hermied.
There were in the same tent as 5 PAradise seeds Sensi star - which didnt hermy.
It appears the DNA fems are not very stable and are prone to hermy.
Their normal seeds are great though.

Jun 17 2009, 09:57 AM
Well thats them ordered, they were all in stock and it was the last packet of each strain, hows that for a bit of luck

usually i never get the seeds i want as there usually out of stock

6 seeds of each so £125 for 18 seeds then with the 6 free L.A Woman thats 24 fem seeds for £125, pretty good i think, a couple of each will be getting stashed away in my seed collection

Still looking for info on these though
181
Jun 17 2009, 10:13 AM
Mmm not good news there but then i have 18 regular seeds on the go just now and 3 hermied so it can happen with any seeds really, plus some plants are really not to stable, i think i had a couple of very slight light leaks though that could have stressed the plants a bit also the LSF wouldn't have helped

Mr Mullen's lemon skunk were fine though werent they?

Well we'll see what happens, if they all hermied i'd be well pissed though, i mean really really pissed

The only one with L.A in it is L.A Woman so if its to do with the L.A side of things then hopefully the rest will be ok, screw it its down now anyway, it go's tits up it will be the first and last time i touch fem seeds

good luck buddy ,
£125.00 is a lot for the average joe , what happened to reasonable pricing .
181
Jun 17 2009, 10:54 AM
Well to be fair for 24 fem seeds thats dam good, you could easily pay that for 20 regular beans and half of them would be males
samsson
Jun 17 2009, 11:02 AM
I know what your saying bud , Still £5.00 a seed but , fk if it was regular and it was 50/50 ,then thats £10 a seed
Heard really good things aboout dna , so looking forward to this grow .

Jun 17 2009, 11:07 AM
Well i've heard good things about DNA but not to sure about the fem seeds, not just there fem seeds but every fem seed company, its the whole hermie issue but its just down to a space/time issue this grow so i thought i would give them a bash

I'll do a diary for this grow i think
semtex
Jun 17 2009, 11:17 AM
Personal experience and general opionion would highlight Paradise seeds as being the most hassle free fems.
181
Jun 17 2009, 11:34 AM
Well i'll give these a good bash and see how they go, theres only one way to find out if there any good and it looks like its my lucky job to do it

I do expect some hermies to be honest as i would expect with any fem seeds so if i do get a few its not as if i wasnt expecting it, if i dont though then i'll be happy/relieved

I may only use say 9 of them and use the spare cuttings i took from my MK Ultra's and Killer Skunk's for mother selection to fill the rest of the room, that way not all my hopes for weed are pinned on the fem seeds.

Sounds like a master plan evans... and i agree, you never know what might happen so give it a pop, if they are no good at least others will learn from it and you have done your bit...be good to tst the Stability of the fem seeds too and document it.
if they are good then fair play to you and you will have lots of yummy bud!
crack on mate, let the games begin.

Jun 18 2009, 11:06 AM
we just havested 2 LA Woman and 2 chocolope fems and no hermies, good producers and plenty of resin all of them. (Still think there is something missing when compared to same smoke from regular seeds mind).

Jun 18 2009, 01:38 PM
Thats good to hear mate thanks, i've been hoping someone would pop in who's grew some DNA fems and had no problems

Need to go to the post office to collect them i wasnt in to sign for them.
Mr Mullen
Jun 18 2009, 02:29 PM

Cheers mate, it was actually your grow of Lemon Skunk that first made me look at DNA's strains, i'm just a little worried about them being fem seeds but i always knew the risk that went with that anyway, they'll be getting popped on Saturady/Sunday hopefully so the diary will start as soon as there heads pop up

Still undecided how many to do, i think i'll still only do 8-9 of them and use my spare cuttings to just in case, dont want to end up weedless if they all go hermie
181
Jun 19 2009, 06:10 PM
Well got them today so there getting put in paper towel tonight and hopefully we'll see some tales tomorrow
Click to view attachmentClick to view attachmentNice packaging, lets just hope there not full of hermies

E2a:- think i've decided to do 12 of them so 4 of each i think and i'll do 2 killers, 2 akorn aka snowbud and 2 mk ultra all from clone so if these do go tits up i'll have a few plants that should be fine

Now that i look at that its going to be a multi strain madness grow, 7 strains

i must be nuts

Jun 20 2009, 08:07 PM
hope they go well for all of you do you think the kushberry s the one to go for or is there another one tats a must to try
181
Jun 20 2009, 08:37 PM
If i was only buying one of the strains above then ye i think Kushberry would be the one i'd go for, in saying that though when i picked those 4 strains from DNA i was thinking of the fact i dont have a massive height so i stuck to strains that weren't going to grow to tall.
DNA have quite a few nice strains to be fair, if i had the height there would be 3 or 4 of there others strains i'd be trying

The tap roots have started to show on them just now as it go's

You always get that little bit of excitement when you see the tep roots showing

Jun 20 2009, 08:50 PM
thanks evans so if it all goes well with other peoples grows then it may well be the kush berry that i go for by the way i dont want a very tall plant either i prefer a stocky plant

Jun 20 2009, 08:52 PM
Well like i said i'll do a diary so hopefully it will go well and we'll see how good they are

FWIW, A mate grew out 3 packs of DNA Fem Chocolope loooking for a keeper, amazing smoke, even at 62 days, zero hermies, he really knows what he is doing and the environment was well controlled.
From what I can work out, Fems are more likely to Herm indoors, under stress... if they are going to at all.

Cheers batfuds thats good to hear, i'll really need to try my best not to stress them in anyway
