(complete) Snowhigh Quicksilver Seed Run

Elpolloloco · November 16, 2023, 7:38pm

Hi gang,

it’s finally here, the thing we’ve all been waiting for… the Snowhigh quicksilver seed run!

Im a sativa lover at heart and after many hours of research I found out about snowhigh and some of his rare and unique lines that he preserves as well as used to make some amazing hybrids.

Quicksilver fits into the mix as a sativa dominant hybrid with an interesting pedigree. This line was sold as old stock with low germination rates advertised, and they are no longer for sale.

Since I saw his old stock germ rates going down for other lines, I decided to prioritize this strain over some of the others I have with hopes of extending / sharing the line so I can do my part to give back to this awesome community.

So far I have 4/30 that popped but 1 of those is a bit of a runt. I was able to source additional beans that should be en route shortly .

My plan is to veg the 3 or 4 I have going, keep the others soaking to see if any scragglers pop up, and then pop all of the others I receive as soon as I get them.

I plan to run an open pollination in my tent, and I’ll likely throw the seed moms and dads out on the balcony for additional seed production.

I’ll use amended super soil and depending on how many I get to pop will determine pot size.

For germination I used a combo of peroxide soaks, scarification, and seed cracker to diversify my chances.

I look forward to this and thanks for the vote of confidence! Cheers

Here is breeder description:
QUICKSILVER: (Metal Haze x C99 x Acapulco Gold x C99)

QuickSilver is a frosty strain I created using a mother from a line originally called Cindy 99 by the Rev. One of my favorite strains. The Cindy 99 or Metal Haze F1 x C99 creates smaller plants with good sized buds to small floral clusters, with heaps of crystalline stranding trichomes with a peach and white luminosity. The harvesting of these trichomes creates a mind warping cartoon filled fantasy, which will have you hiding in corners or diving for the safety of your bed covers. Smoking a bowl of trichomes will definitely bring the light into your smoking room, a real day or night enlightener. The buds of the Quicksilver are similar having a genetics match with the Cinderella 99 influence, giving phenos of Pineapple yum!, Grapefruit, Citrus and the odd rotten Indica pheno which stinks but not in a good skunky way… The Acapulco Gold really adds some fund and smiley influence to the drool inducing effects of the Cindy99. Happy and hilarious highs, with loss of time and speed calculations. Makes you feel like you’re flying down the freeway when you’re barely going the speed limit. People who smoke and drive with you may ask you to …Slow Down!! Only to tell them you’re going 55 mph.

QuickSilver stinks, has great bag appeal, yields well, a favorite among local growers who want to show off their QuickSilver plants.

I was just today listening to his interview on The Pot Cast. A really good one with some amazing information. And he talks a bit about this cross, as he used it in other crosses as well.
Stoked to watch this grow.

Sodapop · November 30, 2022, 6:59am

Sticking around!! This is gonna be a classic plant and I’m excited to see it.

repins12 · November 30, 2022, 7:42am

I’m gonna pull up a chair back in the corner

Granola · November 30, 2022, 7:59am

Hope you don’t mind if I find a spot with the others to follow along. Super cool project, John’s a great guy.

So wait, he’s selling low germ rate seeds? How would one go about getting some of those seeds? Is he selling them at a discount? I can’t imagine him selling low germ rate seeds for $300+ a pack.

Elpolloloco · November 30, 2022, 8:23am

Thanks for taking a seat at the table! Pressure is on now I need to deliver the goods!

@Habitt he was but this was over a year, maybee 2 ago that I got these. They were in the $20-$30 range at that time but he gave way more than advertised and he also gave some as freebies.

He said the germ rates dropped even more so he stopped selling them altogether. I can attest to the low rates as I did heroine and grim creeper, maybe 80 - 100 seeds between the two and got 0 to germ.

These are no longer on his list and he was transparent from the beginning so, I got what was advertised, which lead to my desire to repro these

Habitt · November 30, 2022, 8:47am

I’ve seen a few of his seeds on seedsforme listed under $100, would those be some of his old stock?

Indoornesian · November 30, 2022, 10:08am

Gonna tag along fo the ride! Good luck with germination of those fine beans and your repro.

MonasticDank · November 30, 2022, 10:13am

Happy to see this one happening. Good luck with the project

Flex420 · November 30, 2022, 11:03am

Great preservation project! I wish you all the luck you need + a bit more

mndlss · November 30, 2022, 11:24am

I’ll be watching this for sure!

alwaysnoob · November 30, 2022, 11:29am

That sounds wonderful…
Thank you for your efforts brother…
This looks like a train i wanna get on LoL…

potpotpot · November 30, 2022, 11:45am

That’s sounds like a mighty cross. The “feels like your doing 100but barely moving” part is awesome sounding.

Thanks for taking the time and space to repro these for us!

Cormoran · November 30, 2022, 12:31pm

As always, sounds like some legendary landrace genetics from Snowhigh… thanks for taking the time and spending the money to do a repro for those of us who can’t count high enough to fathom his legendary prices.

Mr.Christmas · November 30, 2022, 12:41pm

Dope stuff, I tried germinating 5 Oaxacan seeds from Snow High and they all failed. Will be watching along!

HolyAngel · November 30, 2022, 12:46pm

Nice!! Best of luck on this run! Off to at least a start, hopefully some more of those beans pop up soon!
