Lafayette's Centennial Seed produces marijuana seeds, not weed - Boulder Daily Camera (http://www.dailycamera.com/ci_17661108#IDComment136592226)

there's a youtube with one of the founders, and some pretty funny comments.

I've heard good things about most of their available strains,... tho I've never grown any.


Most of what is available is a blueberry cross,.... I'd like to see some more genetics, and what he can do with it.


But a proper breeding program to get good cannabis to grow here in CO with low humidity, and short growing season, will take him decades to nail down a single strain that he can actually call his own.

The black-market seeds had poor germination rates, and sometimes the strains were not as advertised. Plus, many home growers use clones -- new plants started from a cutting of an old plant.

Holmes is not a fan, to put it mildly.

"They have been through a major lifecycle disruption," he said. "They've been starved. They've been
stressed. It slows them down and they never fully recover."




The guy loses all credibility with this statement. He's implying that the European seed banks and breeders are shady and are operating on 'the black market', both statements are false. Then he goes on to say the act of cloning stresses the clone to where it 'never fully recovers'. This guy is another Wanda James.

We carried their seeds for about a year with mixed results, and no longer carry them now.

Tried their Roughneck seeds which turned out just alright.

TGA seeds outsell them by far here.
