HSC are good peeps, I met Nat and Ben once and found them friendly, humble, and looking towards the future with industry stuff. They wanted to bring Humboldt quality to the world kind of thing.
They say they test a lot, hold Humboldt heirlooms, and care about terps and consistent plants basically.
I would always choose an OG strain over HSC as it would probably have a chance of being more elite, but with HSC I would say you’re going to get something close or exactly just as they say.
They were excited about triploids when I met them, but that was pre og and I didn’t know what they were talking about. They gave me blueberry muffin which was good but not as good as the family blues x bog ls I’m running now. Not even close to be honest.
Unfortunately the Blueberry Muffins I have in late flower probably won’t be keeper for me either. But just Incase I made clones and the smoke report could still change my mind lol. The blueberry smell from early flower has transitioned into just more of general dank smell. I’ll probably keep searching for a stronger blueberry flavor as that’s all I really wanted out of it. They were good growing plants and I know people have found strong blueberry flavor but we’ll see on the smoke report when I get them finished up. No love lost for HSC but the muffins may not be my favorite blueberry but I’m going to smoke it all just to make sure lol
I had the blue berry muffin clone they released and it smelled amazing, like raspberry soda but the taste was very boring and nothing like the smell and it threw nanners on lower branches , very very small ones that are hard to see
couldn’t find one in flower, but here is blueberry muffin in veg, not grown by the pros, this just grown by me, really nice plant and perfect if you’re planting 100 seeds of the same strain and don’t want to go clones. I recommend for a facility, I know it’s on the medical menu in new york, but never tried it. It’s good, but blueberry strains can be hit or miss and lots of options… I like my blueberry with haze or the bog I’m finding out
nate gave me 3 of these seeds he wanted me to buy it and I would but didn’t have cash on me - he was like I am happy to give out a few seeds, but you need to grow it. He’s a good dude and his daughter and co-workers - I think they should be supported and he had good fishing stories and knows a ton about trainwreck and those type of strains. I would like to grow his trainwreck cut if HSC sends, I’ll make a thread or someone with space should do it.
I also had a pistachio that smelled amazing but lost it to PM from a lilac diesel clone I took in at the time, I would grow the Pistachio again to see what I get. Even in veg it smelled nutty
Triploids are BS for now. There is NOTHING about them that looks elite, that smokes elite, that grows elite… pure hype and BS!!!
Acting like HSC is a victim of their own HYPE machine and it was the youtube creators that were making a big deal of nothing is pure gaslighting… then they went back and tried to act like… ohhhh uhhh these elite seeds are outdoor only!!!
HSC deserved every inch of that dragging and more. I wouldn’t buy/take another one of their poorly tested and underperforming junk gear if you gave it to me for free… which they offered.
While I am enjoying this “All Gas,” I won’t be buying any of their seeds after all of this and other things i’ve been hearing.
Good quality California genetics can be had by Equilibrium Genetics, Seeds of Compassion, Bodhi and some others all from California with good reputations.
