Btw, the obvious is to point out the bad and the good, but seems like thats not so obvious to you.

Top price? You get a pack and freebie packs plus his sales that occur often. This isnât cap junky charging 500 a pack here. You kind of seem entitled that you get random freebie packs and canât choose but take to the internet to complain about it. Kindergarteners learn we get what we get and we donât complain.Thatâs just my view from the outside looking in.

Did only 3 S1s pop out of the 7pk or you only popped 3? Im sure you already know but sometimes you got to hunt a bit to find a keeper, i personally dont think 1pk is enough to find a true keeper unless you get lucky. And i know Caleb said you can find "different OGs amongst the S1s but i dont think your going to be finding things comparable to SFV, Ghost, etc. unless your running through large #s and even then im skeptical of that.

I popped 2 packs, 1 of each, indeed got all types of og, all trash, good job Caleb 
excellent breeding work indeed, for 350$ totally worth it haha NOT.
Thatâs not the first time I deal with bunk from CSI, thatâs usually the case with him, but due to the price I said maybe just maybe it will be different this time, thatâs it.

Huh ?? You think Iâm gonna pay those kinda money and wonât burn any breeder not just CSI to the ground every chance I get ?
Thatâs not kindergarten, thatâs constructive criticism, something you clearly lack understanding of.

No it has to be the breeder , obviously. Nothing to do with having realistic expectations of s1âs.

When you know a thing or two about genetics, you understand, 99% of the time itâs the breeder and the seed, not you, you just give water, you think you determine anything ?
My old head laugh to see comments like yours, user error

To be fair. Iâve seen people fail at growing decent buds even with proven genetics.

Clearer pics might be more convincing?
Growing conditions are more important than genetics⊠if a grower doesnât have their environment and feeding dialed in, they are bound to produce less than stellar results. Jinxproof himself has noted a few times that, when not dialed in, his 9-lb hammer will only produce 2- or 4-lb hammers. These dark and out-of-focus pics of immature looking buds do not inspire opinions of their having been well grown.

Especially with OGs and Sour. If not dialed in it will never show its true potential.

You are terribly mistaken, itâs the other way around my friend, genetics determine everything, not you, sure you can aid a bit more, but you wonât change what is given to you in the seed you got, and thatâs basic facts of this world, tweek, change it a bit, you canât turn it to something itâs not, just the way it goes.
So, given we are not idiots around here, and pictures show exactly if you grown poorly or grown to basic and beyond requirements for the genetics to show whatâs hidden.
Donât try to over complicat things that are basic and straight forward.

You can ruin Ferrari aswell, does that mean it wasnât a Ferrari before you crashed it ?
No logic in your statement, you can ruin a good seed with user error, but you have to have a good seed in order to ruin it, the chicken and the egg kinda thing ya know ?
Iâll finish posting here for now, too many CSI fan boys apparently
All I can say, buyers BEWARE.

Iâd say its more comparable to racing a FerrariâŠ

If I am mistaken, I apologize, but I do not believe that genetics determine everything, as you have claimed. That was indeed once the claim of eugenecists, who were proven incorrect in their assertions. I may not have been the sharpest knife in the drawer of my microbiological engineering classes, but I did try to pay attention and, I prefer to look at genetics objectively, based upon facts.
First off, No, genetics do not determine everything about a plant; while genes play a significant role in shaping a plantâs characteristics, environmental factors like sunlight, water, nutrients, and temperature also significantly influence its growth and development, meaning the final phenotype (observable traits) is a combination of genetic and environmental influences.
Key points to remember:
- Genetic basis:
Plants inherit their genetic information (DNA) from their parents, which contains instructions for various traits like leaf shape, flower color, and growth habit.
- Environmental impact:
Factors like light exposure, soil quality, and climate can affect how genes are expressed, leading to variations in the same plant genotype.
- Epigenetics:
Even beyond the DNA sequence, epigenetic modifications can influence gene expression, adding another layer of complexity to how environmental factors interact with genetics.
Example:
- A plant might have genes for producing large, vibrant flowers, but if it receives insufficient sunlight, the flowers might be smaller and paler due to environmental limitations.
I might retort: Donât overly simplify things that are complex and have multiple interdependencies.
Yes: Caveat emptor â It is up to the buyer to perform their own due diligence before purchasing any product, as sellers have minimal responsibility for the quality of their goods.
I have grown a large number of CSI packs and, have had my ups and downs. Especially from packs that I bought from seed merchants online, which didnât have any viability and didnt come with freebies. And I have also experienced all the noted issues of slow or deformed growth, reports of lack of terps, not finding any keeprs in a pack, but not any more or less than most other breeders. Yet, I have re-purchased many packs from CSI and, will continue to do so, despite having repurchased none from Tiki Madman, Cookies, or multiple other âtrendingâ breeders because, what I did find in the CSI packs suited my personal taste better than 'the latest greatest" strains have⊠plus, the freebies have always made up for any discrepancies I may have incurred. âŠAnd, until semi-recently, I didnt even consider CSI a breeder; Pirates of the Emerald Triangle are breeders, CSI is a dispenser of selfed legacy cuts who only recently began hunting his selfed crosses and, he is now breeding with POTET males.

How would you know if it was good genetics if the only experience youâve had with it wasnât grown out well? I donât doubt your growing skills but your logic is weak on this point

Hey @DopeKiller, i respect your point⊠i never tried CSI stuff, 1st time running his stuff⊠but ill give my honest report after⊠so far im not so impressed based on all the hermie i had to deal withâŠm
Can you give me some examples of genetics you actually enjoyed and consider fire, and can recommend?

His t-1000 crosses I find to be really good and my personal favorite from CSI. What are you running that hermed if you donât mind my asking.
