CBG is Cannabiogen.
Cannabiogen was created by Kaiki (Charlie Garcia).
Charlie helped Dubi get his start and they started ACE as a team.
Charlie was also in a Spanish breeders collective (Vibes) and forum. Those other members told me Dubi screwed over Charlie and that’s why Charlie quit the seed game. Recently, Heirloomwizard has recanted that.
Vibes members have been “hating” on Dubi since the start and you can see 20 years of exposing the truth by them over on ICMag.
However, once Dubi became a paid sponsor at ICMag, he had the mods sift through ICMag to delete most of those posts, to include banning most all the Vibes members who exposed Dubi.
What remains in those threads are just glowing reports of Dubi 's strains.
Since then, there have been many Dubi apologists who attack anyone who calls out or even hints at Dubi being deceitful or even just hinting that ACE strains are not pure landraces. They’re not, they’re almost all F3 - F6 and beyond.
And Dubi is not a breeder but a brilliant businessman.
The claims that ACE is a collective come from the fact that that’s how it started off, then Dubi subcontracted local growers to white label his seeds for him.
None of the original breeders have gotten credit or payment, causing some of them to leave the game entirely. This is what Tropical Seed Co did to Jah Green Label and others and nobody jumped on anyone for exposing that. But expose ACE and Dubi and for some reason you get called a hater.
Forums are about information and hanging out while trying and sharing genetics. So lambasting anyone for saying hey this Malawi ended up purple and had a narcotic high is more ridiculous than going to every thread and saying hey those sativa’s maybe aren’t what you’re looking for - you know, sharing information and helping a prospective buyer from experiencing buyers remorse.
Dubi isn’t here trading seeds.
If he were, screw it, if the seeds ain’t what he says they are - bad trade and be done with it.
But instead he’s selling seeds. And for a pretty high price.
And not only that, those sales don’t get split with the people who actually bred the strains or want on Safari’s and collected the P1 seeds.
And, he pays forums to maintain his squeaky clean image while banning anyone who would expose the truth.
So instead of asking why all the hate for Dubi, ask why all the apologists who attack anyone who even suggests it’s not a company worth paying for.
