Yeah, didn’t the badgers batch guy grow for/with him?
Also, I’ve been wondering about Keepers of the farm. I have some Marionberry Kush that was either a project with Subcools or just theirs. I’m not sure. Thx
Heroes of the farm. Yes I love mb grew it continuous for about 5yrs. Got one now from sun-clone.
Edit. In the glass vial folded in black cardboard/paper packing stapled together? Lol
I grew a pandora’s box plant in 2007 the blooms were completely lavender like candy. Never seen anything like it since.
Yeah, I was checking that out earlier today and didn’t know if anyone posted about it yet …
Im digging that he did a whole project Space Dude
That one and Conspiracy Kush are on my list to find.
Yes, that’s it. Thanks
Who has tried Shangri La regular? I found it in herbies and I’m still debating whether I should get it.
Here is the actual guy who did the work.
I’ll add a little more detail…
Badger started by working for Subcool at his place in Nor Cal. Sub hired him when his COPD made it too difficult for him to do a lot of the gardening himself. He used to say on his YouTube show (The Weed Nerd) that he was teaching Badger to grow, but my sense (from watching the videos) was that Badger already knew what he was doing for the most part.
Eventually Badger left due to some legal issues that he was dealing with. I don’t know any details about that. Sometime after, he started making seeds for Subcool. After the fire, when Subcool moved to AZ and started “Subcool’s The Dank”, Badger started doing crosses that The Dank sold. Sub often took credit for others work; not his best trait. He sometimes claimed he was directing Badger’s work, but I think he was stretching the truth for marketing.
I’ve grown a few of Badger’s strains, including Raspberry Smash and Vanilla Tart. Both were excellent. The Raspberry Smash really smells like raspberry (or mine did, anyway). I have a few other packs that Badger did for Subcool in my library that I’ll pop one of these days.
My only issue with Badger’s Batch is that Subcool tried to keep his seeds fairly inexpensive ($50 ten packs were typical) and Badger’s been charging $100+. The people Subcool designated to keep his strains going after he passed have proved to not be up to it. So while I will not be buying Badger’s expensive seeds, I’m glad he is keeping the strains alive and doing good original work too.
The other breeder that Subcool had making TGA seeds and later had making crosses for The Dank was Northstar Genetics. As with Badger, Subcool used to claim he was directing Northstar’s work, but I think Northstar would say that was bullshit. As I said, not Sub’s best trait (and I say that as someone who watched many hours of his YouTube show and felt like he was a friend that I had yet to meet.) Anyway, last I checked, Northstar still had some of the strains for sale.
Yes norstar, badger, heroes of the farm, jinxproof all of them he took credit for. I’ve got plenty of all of their gear so not interested, I was just trying to help the others who were trying to find tga gear. Thanks for your information as well!
Will be popping some Qleaner from Norstar(Producers Overstock) in a couple weeks with my next run!
Do you still have the sonic screwdriver? That’s one I’m still looking for.
yes i do i havent had chance to pop new seeds yet
Any chance you might be up to a trade? I have a few extra packs of some other things in the back of the fridge.
if youd promise to f2 them and give me some and share the rest with og id send you a pack free
That’s a deal. I’m about to build out a new space for seed runs. I’ve been debating what my first couple would be. I’ll post progress as it comes together. I’ll be running beds of about 8’ in a year round greenhouse so there will be plenty to go around and this narrows it down for one bed. Take it to the dm’s?
Neither the Fandango or Qleaner have popped, maybe these need a little TLC to get going, good thing the seed vials were full lol I will have a cool surprise, should arrive by the end of this week
i wonder if thats why last month was the last month they were being sold. shoot ill have to try some of the ones i got. good luck and keep us posted.
