NIRVANA--SKUNK #1--GARBAGE/HERMIE!!!!

[sinus21]

I recently got back into the old hobby and purchased a 10 pack of Skunk No.1 from Nirvana. I have been told they are a reputably seed bank but never purchased from them before and honestly never will again. Their Skunk No.1 was slow growing from day one. Did not clone well, and the 4 females from the 10 seeds all hermied 20 days into flowering.

Let me repeat myself so I'm being clear. ALL 4 FEMALES HERMIED AT 20 DAYS!!

You might think that I in some way abused the plants but I'm an experienced grower. If you were a Marihemp faithful some years ago you might recognize my name. I absolutely babied this strain and they ALL HERMIED!!! I have 3 other batches in flower with those skunks and now I'm afraid it might all be a wash because of those garbage genetics.

LONG STORY SHORT-

DO NOT BUY SKUNK NO.1 FROM NIRVANA OR YOU'LL GET SKUNKED LIKE ME[/SIZE][/SIZE]

Well,maybe you just happened to get a bad batch.I purchased 5 female ppp from Nirvana,and got great results from all 5 seeds...excellent yeilds,and took 8 clones from 1 plant:thumbsup:, which are going strong...Sorry to hear about your misfortune though......Maybe you should contact them....most seed companies will strive for customer satisfaction.

Someone who ain't me got what appear to be two different strains in their packet of ten Niravna Ice seeds.

Hey bowl,

Glad to hear your powerplant is goin strong, heard some good things about that strain. :thumbsup: I was pretty surprised bout the skunk bein so bad. Heard good things about nirvana and sk.1 but it was garbage all the way through.

Might try contacting them like you said but I've heard some bad things about their service department/answering machine.

On the brighter side I picked up some of the original AK-47 from serious seeds that is the strongest, stinkiest strain I've ever had in the garden, and it came with a promo pack of 5 super skunk/thai seeds that are some pretty lookin sativas. I'll try and get some pics and a grow report up soon.

Got any pics of that PPP?

Try Super Skunk from Nirvana. This is the absolute best weed I have ever grown from seed, period. Super yield, super smell and taste. Its georgeous as well. Out of 4 females 2 were indica 2 were sativa phenos. All 4 were outstanding. One of the sativas turned black/purple.
They have been curing about a month now. When I take the lid off the jar it literally stinks up the whole house. You cant beat that for a 3$ seed.
I cant recommend this strain enough. A hidden gem, if you will.

Aren't you selling the Art of Cultivation a little short by referring to seed with mixed phenos "outstanding"?

I hate to hear this as I have 3 Nirvana strains under cultivation..................

I had 11 Fem Seeds and of 11, I germed out 9. From 9, only 1 turned on me, and I know it was a LIGHT LEAK......Best of luck dude..........:thumbsup:

The thing is, Nirvana's prices are low and their genes ARE pretty good quality; just not what I would describe as outstanding.

Enjoy your grow. I'm not here to slam Nirvana. You pretty much get what you pay for I guess.

So far so good. I'm keeping fingers crossed! I did go for Nirvana for the price! Gotta turn out better than the brick seed I tried before!
