Yes, I’m aware of what chain of custody is.
Which of these would be CSI Humboldt Or is that a totally seperate company from both??
@Ace71975 Seperate company, also a good one

It feels like we’re splitting hairs here guys. Nobody can be 100% sure of anything involving plants that have been growing longer than we’ve been alive. We can accept the story that comes with the variety or not. After you grow it out the story could make sense or you still might have doubts. The main thing I rely on is my experience with the plants. I will know right away if something isn’t what it’s supposed to be if I’ve grown or smoked the real thing. But I suppose someone could question if the original was even real. It can go on forever like that. Basically you take your experiences and try to get as much info from others who experienced the same thing and put it all together to get your answers

See, As said above, and as a new person, this all gets very confusing very quickly. I am sure, that ANY of these major companies will sell you some seeds that will grow you some weed, and hell it might even be some great FIRE ass weed, but if you pay for Green Crack for example, you should know 100% for sure that you didnt get some random mid grade seed labeled as green crack. But at this point its very hard if not impossble for a New person to know they are getting even close to the real deal.
Honestly, I would be happy if i could know it was the real genetics even if it wasnt the typical phenotype or prefered generation.
This is made even harder by the fact that I prefer Autoflowers. For Example, I saw that 420fastbuds has an Auto version of a few strains I want, but how do I know they started with the REAL strain and crossed it with ruderalis? How do i know there green crack auto, isnt actually cookies cream auto? It all becomes pretty overwhelming for us new people pretty fast.

If I was a new grower. I would ask here what is the best source for whatever strain you want. You’re not even getting the most of your experience here with so many people who are the best in the world at cannabis. I would suggest instead of complaining about how difficult it is just ask for advice. It’s that simple. If I had these resources 30 years ago I would be light years ahead by now.

Green crack is clone only

@JustANobody Bingo this is what I’m talking about! Truth… Anything besides the real Green Crack cutting isn’t Green Crack. See how this goes

We were all new at some point. Coming to overgrow not knowing strains and breeders all that well is overwhelming. People around here toss around Bodhi strains as if they’re household names. The strains can be researched, the breeders and companies, they take time to get to know.

Well let me throw in a further proveribal wrench. What If, Someone Got say 6 clones of the REAL green crack that was clone only, and reversed 3 and polinated the other 3, wouldnt it then be possible that they could sell seeds, that are the “real Green Crack”?
Or They put in the work, take 6 clones of green crack, fertlize them with a Pure Ruderalis, do the back crossing, to get auto seeds, wouldnt that then be an “actual Green Crack Auto”?
That would be a version of GC Auto but only that nothing else. And if you made GC S1 then that’s how you would label them

But it both would still “technially” be green crack right?
With either Auto or S1 after that name GC. But not just GREEN CRACK

That would be called Green Crack S1. Maybe you find the green crack pheno in those seeds, maybe you don’t.

No it would not.
Take mother of berries for example. Another clone only. You can self it, but you’re not going to find the actual mother of berries pheno in there. No one has yet. Is that going to stop me from making crosses with it, nope. But it won’t be mother of berries.

So, I think, with the way the market goes, I may just reverse and do crosses of Auto plants that Grow well or that I like the smoke from, and ignore the names altogether. Because at this point, Especially with autos, you never really know.
Right but it still has the Mother of Berries Genetics when its selfed right? I am honestly more concerned with say, I order something that is suppose to be a cross of Columbian Gold and Columbian Red Dot and I get something that is a cross of two random mid seeds and does not have either of the strains in it that I thought it did than I am with getting a certian phenotype.
You and these autos.
I think you might be getting a little bit more confused in the beginning trying to start out with legit autos. The whole auto market is built on fake names

I am realizing that lol. But damn it I like sit it and forget it lights! lol I like the fact that i dont have to Stress over "should i flip this, is it too early, did i let it go to long, is it healthy enough to flip, Should I top it, Should I fim it, etc. With an Auto, set the lights at 18/6 feed and water when needed, and let it do its thing. Much simpler IMHO

Just because it has those genes in it, does not mean they will be expressed the same way.
