A DISASTER has happened
LA Confidential number 1 has produced bud with too little THC to be smoked. after smoking 1.5 grams of cured bud I do not get high from smoking it. This is the first time i have produced bud with low THC and am unsure if i have made a mistake that could be corrected or if it is how i suspect that despite the best growing conditions and many visibly milky trichomes my LA Confidential failed to produce any THC. High Times Magazine designated LA Confidential as one of the strongest strains on the earth in 2012 testing at 20% THC. Despite LA Confidential's 7 - 8 weeks advertised flowering schedule I flowered mine for 10 weeks without seeing any amber trichomes. I contacted DNA Genetics to resolve the issue of week genetics and this is how they responded:
"Hello
We are sorry to hear about your misfortunes, and appreciate your feedback.
At this moment we do not have a notable amount of complaints on any one specific strain of ours to raise concern over our seeds. Our product goes through rigorous testing and a very strict selection process before we release any new batch or strain to our customers. This is the same method we have been using over the years, to produce stable, high quality products.
So we are very confident that our seeds are not the problem in this case. We will never release a product we are not confident in.
Many factors play a roll in the development of a seed to a full-grown crop. So it's hard to say what went wrong in your specific case.
We will be making a note out of your complaint so we can further look into this matter in case we receive more complaints about our products.
We pride ourselves on providing our customers with high quality products.
Regards
DNA"
So it seems DNA Genetics is happy producing a product with too little THC to get a person high and will not resolve the issue. I would have a hard time trusting any seeds from DNA Genetics sold at the attitude in the future. I have destroyed my LA Confidential mother plant and when LA Confidential number 2 either produces seeds or none I will not use any seeds or use any collected pollen. Week genetics need to destroyed not preserved.
I am unaware of any gross mistakes I have made during LA Confidential's vegetative growth and flowering, If anyone has experienced low THC from a harvest previously and is aware of a mistake I have made please reply.
