Hello justanotherstoner,

People are just giving their opinion of the seeds through experience. Nirvana seeds can be patchy, to say the least, but are what you have got; so grow them out and i wish you every success.

Don't know of the nirvana Ak knockoff, but had excellent experiences with their blueberry and neville's haze knockoff's, the least said of the kerala, and several of the other strains that I experimented with due to frugality and ignorance, the better.

Genetics are the single most important part of your grow imo, it's the one factor you cannot tweak or go and buy a bigger one later etc. Cost is not always an indication of quality, look around the boards and see what people are growing and enjoying consuming;buy them, grow them, smoke them, repeat as necessary.

B52 is a dutch passion sativa dom, isn't it? Why not but them from DP, or buy fdm's take on cinderella, very few disappointed with that lady, or not, up to you really.

yeh, wot exactly IS rong wiv nirvana?

still not sure

just do a site search on the name! Many people have found them to be extremely poor in all respects - if you are going to the time, trouble, expense, and risk of growing, you really will do much better with some decent seeds. You need everything going for you on a first grow, using Nirvana beans has left a lot of people v.disappointed. Think of them as the "lada" of the seed world, cheap, not in the least cheerful, and will almost definitely disappoint!

As I understand Nirvanan seeds tend to have a lessd than perfect germ rate, mutations and runts galore, lots of ruderalis in them and a tendacy to go hermy (specially the fem seeds). All this and just to save a few quid on top quality FdM genetics, if your paing hundreds of pounds for your grow kit you may as well push the boat out and spend 30 quid on some really goos seeds!

I my experience of growin Nirvana strains, they are alright but the end product isn't mindblowing. It's better than anything you'll ever pick up, but they generally don't have the best genetics. Albeit, I was disapointed as I was amazed.

[QUOTE] Oh man, lets call a spade a spade here[/QUO

Yes, lets.. Mau (Nirvana seed huckster) isn't all that bad, his female seed makers are all production clones in adam, for what that's worth; and he hits them with, in the main, his sk1 male (Anyone whose grown nirvana probably knows it

(The nirvana neville's haze was really fun though)

If you want a bland, homogenous ( and increasingly so) insipid, 'PRODUCT' then this is the door you open.

Your choice.

But ANYONE with half a brain, could knock out half arse drug cultivars... for a while. i'm in this for the long haul.

ok based on what iv read i think i will fork out the extra money for some higher class seeds like reefer mans bermese x cambodian £35quid a pack

does any one know anything about reefer man seeds they are recomnended by dr. chronic ????????

if doc chronic recommends anything its 'cos he's making a lot of money out of 'em
fer gawds sake buy some seeds from the fdm range in the uk420shop - brill beans, keen price, no rip-offs!

fdm 50/50
20 quality seeds
£15
just look at the variety in that pack

Listen to Vlad and Tokin, they are in the know, I will shut my gob cos I know nothing, but I learn Mr Fawlty,

the papaya from nirvana i have i just found out its a girl what do i do now for its been in for 6 weeks now and is comming on strong would you still chop her down if you were me my mate just finnished a shiva skunk grow out of nirvana seeds and was happy with his grow

this has me doing to many bongs thinking about what to do, what would you do she's a ladie a lovely ladie and just to fuck my head up even more another ak48 just germanated yesterday. what to do.... what to do.... what to do

ffs, if its gone that long, run her right through till the end - you may be lucky! - you've got this far, shame to give up now!

She don't look half bad to me, mmmmmmmm, fuck it, you started so you may as well finish. I didn't realise you were this far in, by the looks of her she's plenty healthy. You never know, she could turn out a right corker ?

I say finish her off, but do invest in some good seeds!

yeah thats what i was thinking

she looks good to me
good luck with her

no point throwing a good looking lady away m8
i didnt realise you was already growing i thought you was asking what seeds to buy

TT

and my little babey ak 48

still looking for a good seed was thinking of pukka seed mixed some good strines

just to set the record straight for newbies - most of the people here use the board shop for several reasons, not least that the small profits it generates keep the board up and running - profit is NOT the main motive! FDM is a small "boutique" breeder - he uses some of the very finest genetics available, and his seeds are held in extremely high esteem amongst the board members - I reckon you would have to pay a helluva lot more to get seeds of comparable quality from elsewhere.

you got me convinced


FDM 50/50 mix it is for me from uk 420 store very goog deal.......

Hi justanotherstoner

Don't make the mistake of thinking we're trying to drum up business by recommending the UK420 shop. If you hang around you'll find that the people that run this site really know what they're talking about. I've lurked in many sites before but never posted until I found UK420. The rest usually are motivated by pure financial gain and are always only interested in selling you their products. Here it's different, if you never buy anything you'll still get the best advice and help for sweet fuck all. However from what I've seen (And I've only been posting last week, lurking for about 3 months) the uk420 shop offers tried and tested products from people who know what they're talking about.

If I'm wrong I'll eat my own underpants!!!!!

Nav

Ok, tuppence worth from a newbie;

I bought some Nirvana seeds a while back, (way before I got involved with UK420). I didn't know any better and the price was OK, so I bought them!

Since then I was warned off Nirvana genetics at every turn, and for the most part I listened, and I am now growing DP Sk#1 and FDM C99.

BUT, (just to play devils advocate), if you already have the seeds and they are growing well, (as your pics would suggest), then I would let them go the course, as you may be pleasantly surprised.

My "significant other" is currently finishing a grow of Nirvana Silver Pearl, (bought because it was a fast finisher - plain & simple)!

I think the results speak for themselves!

We had a sly taster last weekend, and now I can't wait for them to finish as the "stone" was wickid!

Just my tuppence worth, as I said!

Good luck with whatever you decide, (the UK420 store sells lots of varieties...not just FDM)!

Peace.

RD

thanks ub,.. and,, y ddraig goch,,,,,,,, your plants look good to happey smokeing when there finsinh off.....

im growing nirvana papaya this year! Ive heard nothing but praise for this company. Especially at the price you cant really complain can you??
They are better than kc.
I grew 10 seeds from kc 2 year ago all were males. The luck of the draw i know but it makes you think.

If you look in the strainguide on OG nirvana didn't do badly overall especially White Rhino!
Check it -

www.overgrow.com/strainguide/Nirvana/

I was speaking fom experience, not just hearsay

Wasted almost a year of growing time pissing about with Nirvanas piss poor genetics, trying to find somthing good

You should check the link before making judgement the strainguide is based on experience not hearsay. Its probably the best resource on the web for finding out about the differences between stains.

Please take a minute to check it out at -
www.overgrow.com/strainguide


Check out White Rhino at -
www.overgrow.com/strainguide/Nirvana/White_Rhino/

If the strainguide was based on people being 'bribed' then there wouldn't be any bad reviews would there? There are good and bad reviews for all seedbanks from Sensi to Nirvana. If everything we did was based on 1st hand experience and we didn't trust other then this website wouldn't exist because no-one would take and advice from anyone else. Your 1st hand experience is a tiny fraction of peoples experiences with Nirvana. If we go by your logic then how does anyone know that FDM isn't giving away seeds to promote themselves on this site?

Unless you know for a fact that Nirvana are giving away seeds on OG to get peeps to reccomend them then you have no argument and each review in that strainguide is equally as valid as your view.

So why don't you buy some Nirvana seeds then Tomcat mate and see where peeps are coming from

Like you say there is no need for first hand experience, which is why you are getting suggestions here, I suggest you take note, failing that try them for yourself and don't give us "theses beans are crap" rubbish

Best of luck with whatever you decide to do mate

Joolz & Webby -

Are any of you a rival seedbank to Nirvana?

I have personally smoked nirvana White Rhino because a mate grew it from my reccomendation and it's THE BOMB. Am I gonna get accused of being bribed now because I actually enjoyed a nirvana strain?

Can't be bothered to argue with you, all I was saying is that your opinions are just that - your opinions, I was just giving people a link to in IMHO the best resource which gives hundreds of UNBIASED opinion on strains.

WWW.OVERGROW.COM/STRAINGUIDE

In IMHO easily the best guide to strains on the net. If any of u know a better one, holla back

TC

OT whats your opinion on the subject?
Tc

I didn't mean to sound a tad harsh m8, just don't want you to feel disapointed

Yeah sure some nirvana strains turn out to be quite nice, I'm not knocking that, just that out of a pack of 10 seeds if all 10 germinate you may be pretty lucky to get 2 or pos 3 females, that's £4 per female where as with other breeders they may have a much better success rate, someone please correct me if I'm wrong

I've grown out 'ICE' and not a single female in sight, I've grown out a couple of "Snow White", these were the fem ones, they appeared as 2 totally different plants, one turned hermie and the other grew to apprear to be a very nice plant (yield, tichome formation etc), but the taste If you like 'Turkish Delight' then you'll like this, the mrs likes it just for the taste tho, cos the high is pretty lame

At the end of the day m8 only your own experience can really show you the way, if you don't wanna listen to peeps advise then so be it, just be sure thats all

Best of luck with it all

I can understand people not liking Nirvana as a company due to them ripping off many other breeders, but speaking from experience I have had excellent results with nirvana strains i've grown, out of 2 White Rhino seeds both were females, one was given to a mate and the other yielded over 7oz of some of the strongest bud I have ever tried, also to my suprise both plants were identical at the time they were split up. Not bad for a tenner me thinks!

SB

It is a fact, when GN arrived at overgrow (2000-ish) he gave many nirvana seeds away, I was there, the seeds were grown and pronounced shit, I seem to remember. All there archieved on your beloved OG
And gypsy is connected to nirvana seeds, He is married to Mau's (Nirvana seedbank proprietor) daughter. And bonguru got sacked a while ago.
And I think nirvana seeds did some kind of service to growers by lowering the price of seeds, though at the same time lowering the bar when it came to unscrupulous seed making. But I'm sure that has mostly been the case in our illicit market.

WTF does that prove?



And if you think white rhino is the BOMB, you wait 'til you try cannabis.

That's very mature, what's your mental age? Maybe you should start your own school of wit.



TC

Sorry no offence meant to anyone but the strainguide here on UK420 seems to be basically repeating information from the seedbanks catalogue - do you think seedbanks are unbiased about their own products?

The one on overgrow is built upon homegrowers reports of what they have grown along with pics of the actual grow and a smoke report. It has on average at least 1 new report everyday and is put together in such a way you can select the strain you want and read reports by numerous people.

It seems a lot of people on this site have a problem with OG, why is that?

TC

dunno 'bout og-mibbe give it a browse.

had only good things to say about ice, by nirvana . . . not outstanding, but not bad at all-nice yield, strength and quick finisher . . . havent tried any others(i think) so couldn't comment-their main advantage is, i would agree, price.
yes, there are better varieties, but for most newcomers, price and setup are higher priorities than particular genetics . . .

Yeah the pdf files, they haven't been updated as far as I can tell for a good six months. Some of the strains have a grow report some of them have just the breeders description.
