I thought this would be fun, as I have seen similar threads like it on other forums. A place for folks to post and show off their recently purchased shiny new packs of seeds.
I was surprised nothing like this existed here on Overgrow. I think its only human to want to show off new purchases that we are proud of… and also fun to see what others have recently been buying and adding to their collection.
so… What’s your latest purchase? What was your reasoning? Where’d you get the seeds?
It doesn’t have to be a purchase… a giveaway pack, a gift from another, f2s that you have made yourself or by a buddy… anything new that you are proud of… lets see all those new seeds…
I’ll kick this thread off myself…
I’ve been working hard to stock my seed fridge with some great genetics. Being an old Breedbay guy, I have grown up growing mostly Bodhi, TGA/Subcool, Dynasty, Outlaw, Sonic Seeds, Gooeybreeder… as Bodhi has moved on from just selling at the Breedbay auctions and gained fame after having much more exposure when he started selling his gear at Attitude & Seedsman… then eventually to USA seedbanks starting at Holistic Nursery and then Great Lakes Genetics, JBC Seeds and others… it’s been fascinating watching him become one of the world’s most desired cannabis breeder and artist. Each cross and pack of seeds representing who he is as an artist, the cannabis plant being his easel. He’s definitely one of those breeders that I always try to get my hands on. My first Bodhi plant was a Purple Moonshine (SR71 Purple Kush x Old Time Moonshine)… I have went on to grow and/or try his Cali-Yo, NL#5 x Talk of Kabul, his A11gf3 (one of my all time favorites), Kodama, Twin Flame, and one of my favorites… Blackberry Lotus (That’s what I have growing now).
I started out growing being more of a TGA/Subcool seeds fan. My first successful; grow indoors before I had even heard of Breedbay was a couple of Greenhouse White Widow plants, I grew them beside a World of Seeds plant called Strawberry Blue. I wasn’t overall very impressed… don’t get me wrong… the plants were extremely healthy and a picture of perfect health… this was surprising to me especially considering it was my first grow. but I had read many forum posts and did everything right I was using a single 400w Metal halide, and a 400w HPS bulb at the time with magnetic ballasts… the plants looked great but the resulting harvest produced buds that were lackluster in quality. Not very potent. The White Widow from Greenhouse reminded me of green tea… it tasted like green tea as was about just as potent. The Strawberry Blue actually smelled like onions or chives until the dry/cure and after hitting the jar it actually did smell exactly like berries. I was pleased with it… but it didn’t knock my socks off.
Then I read somewhere of Subcool and some of his strains like Space Queen, Jacks Cleaner, and Agent Orange… so I went looking for his gear… and I discovered Breedbay. This was a life changing event… The many grow threads over there really helped me refine my grow. My 2nd harvest consisted of Space Queen and Agent Orange. I was hooked. The cherry and fruit punch smells coming from Space Queen were intoxicating and the resulting buds were very potent. It was good shit. I was amazed too that Agent Orange smelled like freshly peeled oranges. I remember talking to Subcool in chat and expressing to him that I originally had doubted his strain description… but he told me… “When I say it smells like oranges… I mean it smells like oranges.” He was dead on in this and every other strain description I would experience when trying his gear going forward. I went on to try strains like Jacks Cleaner II, Jack the Ripper, Space Dawg, Pandoras Box, Chernobyl, Qrazy Train, Apollo 13BX, etc… I loved TGA gear and never had a plant herm besides JTR and Jacks Cleaner producing a couple of nanners in late flower… but I simply picked them off. I thought his gear was very stable, easy to grow, and the bag appeal was amazing. Subcool had said many times that he breeds for taste and smell… that’s basically bag appeal IMO. The fact that his work also produces great yields and copious resin meant that TGA buds really checked a lot of boxes. I have friends that say that some of the bud that I have smoked with them and provided was some of the very best that they have ever had… the best of all time. I was and am very proud of that.
I also met Jay Roller aka Alphakronik on Breedbay. I grew his Spacedawg BX as a tester for Alphakronik and that was a very successful grow. The Space Dawg BX would go on to be one of many Alphakronik strains that I would try… but honestly those testers were better than any other work he had done since then going forward. He must have been pleased with my work because he mentioned me in an article in Skunk Magazine, as well as a few other members he gave thanks to. I still have that issue and keep the magazine as an important keepsake of mine.
I’ve also had great luck with other Breeders I have since tried since then, and I enjoy growing crosses made from friends. You’ll see as you look at these packs in some of these purchases… I personally think that they are a great reflection of the passion I have not only for the plant, but the breeders who inspired me from the very beginning. I am blessed with the fact that I have a great job. so I can afford to splurge and buy packs that may sometimes be out of the reach of others… For example. I spent $500 at auction on a pack of Lemon G x Apollo 11g… an untested Bodhi pack… the money was for a good cause… and Apollo 11g being one of my all time favorites… I have no problem spending the money. No regrets…
These here I bought mostly from a fundraiser sale. some really exciting packs in here. The Banana Spliff and Tiger Tail I bought from a guy on Discord who was looking to sell a few packs…
I bought the Strayfox packs from Healing Gardens, and the Goji OG F2s were from a fellow O.G. member who gifted them to me…
These SSDD F2s came from a guy on Instagram named Ohms_Seeds who was recently selling them for $60 for a pack of 15 Seeds. He was reccomended by Dr Grenskye of Red Scare Seeds
These here were a recent purchase from Great Lakes Genetics… they came in the mail just yesterday
These I received from Heaven Scent Pharms… I bought a pack from them called Space Princess back nearly 13 years ago… I discovered my favorite seed plant of all time from that pack… I lost track of the breeder Gene… hadn’t heard from him or seed him in many years but I happened to run into him on Instagram and he sold me these…
These I got in the mail yesterday as well… they were from the Seedsherenow James Bean Vault auctions… $327 it cost me to get both of these… the Vortex cross is basically an Apollo backcross… and the C99 x Romulan is basically Duke Diamonds version of Space Queen
This pack here I was able to pick up from the same fundraiser I mentioned earlier…
As was these…
These here came from JBC seeds… when they dropped they had sold out less than a minute later… supposedly they were very limited so I was lucky to snag a pack…
This was an impulse purchase I made… I bought them the second I saw what they were. I love Starfighter… I bought these at Oregon Elite Seeds by a breeder called Thunderfudge…
Another Impulse buy… the Permanent Marker Pics I’ve seen on Instagram looked pretty amazing.
Permanent Marker (Biscotti x Jealousy x Sherb Bx) is a Seedjunky/Doja collab…
This will be the last one I post… These are some recently purchased TGA/Subcool packs.
The Spacebombs were an auction win hosted by Genetics Supply/Nortstar from their Discord channel. I also picked up some Qush, as I had good experience with that in the past. Qush is one of many of the Producer’s Overstock packs still sold on the Genetics Supply website today. Its a great cross… Qush produced some buds that had a grapey cotton candy type aroma. They were very dense and it was just a beautiful plant all around. They had some Agent Orange freebies they were giving out at the time. I spent a whopping $240 on the Spacebomb pack…
I got these LED Seedz pack called Bodhi Tree from Headiegardens and love that it’s a mash up of Starfighter and Bodhi’s Goji OG… The Bodhi Purple Mana came from the same place as well…
Okay that’s enough for now. I could do this all day. 
I wanna see what everyone else out there is buying or aquiring??
I hope this thread is ongoing and others contribute to it and use it to show off all those recently acquired genetics.
So lets go!!! Show me those packs!
