So much for KC Brains Seed Co.....

[Deejay2163]

I oredered a packet of Northern Lights from KC Brains a couple weeks ago they arrived 3 days ago and have been "germinating" ever since.Either this strain takes longer to germinate than any other I've tried or the seeds were crap to begin with.I was so looking forward to growing the strain that I've heard nothing but good things about ,but it ain't lookin good for that to happen this go 'round.
Today I ordered some K-2 seeds from Nirvana Seeds.Hopefully they will work. I'm not sure if all seed companies are like KC or not ,but KC does not guarantee their seeds in the least.I can somewhat understand this policy to some extent,but either way ,it sucks a big one when you wait for 2 weeks to get seeds in and not even 1 germinates.I will not be ordering from KC Brains ever again.

It could take a seed a week to pop. rare but possible after 5 days i get suspicious wether or not it will germinate.

[Deejay2163]

Thanks for the reply.I have never used any seeds that took longer than 48 hours to pop but then again it might just be the particular strain.

Deejay I usually see maybe one or 2 seeds pop in the first 48 the rest take from 3-7 days. I think you are a lil premature in your complaint but I hope they germinate. If i knew you were growing K.C. Brains I would have also suggested Mango.

[Deejay2163]

I'm just going by my experience with mostly bagseed.i have never had wait over 48 hrs to see sprouts.Also ,with bagseed ,the first ones that germinate (usually within 36-48 hrs) always seem to be the strongest healthiest plants.but that is with bagseed also.

I have a pack of mango I have yet to sprout. It seems to be the favorite from what I have read. also just so you know I'm kinda wondering if these will sprout when I choose to grow them because I have read reviews of people who say that K.C. Brains is garbage, none of them sprout, I'm never buying them etc. But also I have read the opposite and seen the pics to back it up. I think it's part the grower part a shitty batch of seeds that has made these responses. I guess any seedbank thats been around long enough is bound to have some of these issues. oh well goodluck man I hope they sprout. I know that will be some killer shit if they do.

Heh, I tried to germinate some of those seedboutique.com freebie seeds, but they appeared to all fail. So I gave up on them and went with the real non-freebie seeds. But I inadvertently forgot one of the freebie seeds and left it in the plug when I put the non-freebie seed in there too. Then they BOTH germinated, and out popped a two-headed plant. Took me a bit to figure that one out!

I cut off the non-freebie seed's head and killed it, and six months later, I still have that one plant from the freebie seeds (Durban Poison x Skunk #1). I just put it into flowering a couple of days ago. It's super healthy and huge. All told, it took like a week for that seed to germinate successfully. There's nothing wrong with the plant itself, so I guess sometimes it just takes a while. That WAS longer than I'd ever seen a seed take before though (which is why I'd given up on it originally).

Hi. I'm just wondering how you know you chopped the right plant? Seems like it would be pretty hard to tell which was which?

[jamstigator]

Actually, it wasn't that hard to distinguish between the two strains once they were a couple of days old (which is how long I puzzled over that two-headed plant before figuring out what had happened). The other plants (Blue Mystics, Indica-dominant) have their own distinctive look, so I killed the one that looked like the other Blue Mystics, and the freebie seed (Sativa-dominant Durban Poison x Skunk #1) took off growing. The stems of the Blue Mystics when they were really young were more purple and almost semi-transparent, just totally different from the freebie seed plant.

Just planted five Nirvana Skunk #1's, also freebie seeds. I don't hold out a lot of hope that many will germinate (they're probably old and not very viable, which is why they give them away), but eh, maybe some will pop up. I'm giving them a full week this time; I learned my lesson!

Good luck with yours Jam.I still have mine "germinating" and still nothing.I ordered some K2 seeds yesterday from nirvana just in case for a backup.Currently i've got 22 seedlings coming along from bagseed.they are looking strong and healthy and will be flowering about the time my "good" seeds are about ready to flower.I may eat these words but as of right now ,KC Brains is definitely OFF my list of companies that i would buy from.
