I’ve been browsing different seed companies and noticed they have a lot of affordable strains but I’m wondering if anyone has grown their gear and can speak to the quality? Thanks for any opinions y’all might have.

A local grower friend popped a pack of Orange Zkittlez Banana Punch x Wilson a couple years ago. A few plants made nanners in multiple spots. There was 1 very nice no-nanner female in the pack with strong fruit punch aroma and potent, but clones from the nice female made nanners on subsequent runs.
I have a few of his packs in my collection that I bought when he was running sales. Not sure when I’ll get around to them.

Overall I’ve not heard particularly good things. He hits tons of females with pollen from his Wilson male, lots of reports of intersex plants. No testing prior to sale that I’m aware of. If you don’t mind the possibility that your entire grow could be seeded, you might end up with a half decent plant. But that said, I’ve also never heard of anyone with a keeper they found from Masonic seeds.
Full disclosure, I haven’t grown any Masonic stuff and probably wouldn’t even if offered free seeds. I have too many other seeds to grow from breeders with significantly better reputations.

Exactly what he said.
He started as a troll on IG to gain followers and popularity amongst likeminded followers. He then threw pollen on a bunch of flowering plants. Now he sells seeds for cheap. If you’re looking for cheap, he’s got it. If you’re looking for quality, I’d look elsewhere. His Potcast episode compared to the other real breeders on the show, is all you need to hear to make a decision.
One time offer. Don’t grow his seeds, I’ll send you some from a more reputable breeder.

CSI, Bodhi, Doc D, Dynasty, Freeborn Selections, Lucky Dog, those are just a few but everyone has something different to offer.
I look at a few things when I choose to take on seeds from someone. Character of the breeder, genetics they have to offer, work ethic, reputation, intention.
Some people use kindness to hide their real intentions. Some people are selfish and narcissistic but may have great genetics and work ethic. I try to find someone as close to the full package as possible.
Half of the growers here on OG offer seeds for free or a fee and they do good work.
There are also quite a few who I wouldn’t even take free seeds from.
Just because you can throw pollen on a pistil, doesn’t mean you should be passing around crappy genetics.

Is this offer still open? That is very generous and I would love that. I am trying to gather some seeds to use for making my own seeds but so many breeders are so expensive! Maybe we could trade some seeds now for seeds in the future once I make some crosses? If you would be interested in that.

That sounds right, a friend of mine just gave me a bunch of mystery seeds because something in his grow hermed and pollinated his entire grow. He had some Snowcone x Wilson and I’m thinking that may be the culprit.

There was a great post of Masonic’s backyard where he does his pollenchucking.
Compton ghetto. Streetlights galore, neighbors with their random yard lighting.
TLDR - inner-city light pollution causing germs in all his seeds. And the dude is like 40 and is obsessed with Pokemon cards and just sells seeds to feed his addiction(s).

I’m neither. Why is it someone has something genuine to respond with the trolls come out. I’m a 54 year old biological human male, not a bot or a whatever you said I was. I was answering the question posed thank you. I do have experience with Masonic, all I was doing was directing the person asking the question on here to find more information. But thanks for the negative feedback, As usual, im never disappointed online that’s forsure!!! Thanks bro…

@SL420X2 would you be willing to post any pics of your Masonic plants? I’m also “on the fence” with this breeder & most of what I’ve read is in line with this thread. But, not many pics of his gear posted 
. I’m not on IG so I don’t see those posts

how could any of that stuff possibly be what he says it is? Honest question, because its in a backyard with tons of plants.

Lemme go check out IG for RB. Dudes been chucking a couple years now, worth a look.
I’m back.
Not going to lie to you. It seems like a pyramid scheme. . Seems like it’s a group or collective of people, which I get, that’s normal. However they all go my Masonic_smoker3.0 or 4.0 which is odd. There are some books, the website and social media is all very slick. We have plenty of “mutual friends” and I keep my circle kinda small. I have big guys, local guys (who sometimes can be asshats, but you got to keep track of the local color) and people from OG.
There is nothing on their website that I would make me put down seeds from OG. If something caught your eye maybe. You would be better off hitting up a giveaway thread.
