New! Multi-colored seeds from the R&D Team at Green House Seed Company

[Smokin Moose]

The colored seed revolution has begun!!

I have some nice pictures for everyone to check out. See what they have been doing in the Green House Seed Co. research and development lab. The first picture series is the official Green House Seed Co. germination test of colored seeds that contain an anti-pathogene and a root stimulator.

The first packs will be available in 2 months! Maybe earlier, but to play it safe, let's say 2 months!

They have been testing all batches of colored seeds in the lab to make sure they are of the best quality possible. Their selection process has also improved through a new technique they have developed over the past years.

All new batches of seeds are tested in their lab, to make sure that their germination ratio stays as high as nature allows.

Color-coated seeds need to germinate directly in the medium where the seedling is going to grow for the first days of its life. This way, the seedling will benefit from the root stimulator and the anti-pathogene present in the coating.

Do not pre-soak color-coated seeds in water! The coating will dissolve, making the seeds unidentifiable and losing the beneficial properties contained in the coating itself.

Green House have 2 new germination methods/descriptions which will be supported by new pictures. Colored seeds need to be germinated differently than normal seeds.

The color is simply to identify the seed with a strain... Arjan chose his favorite strains to color. then made 22 different mix packs. For example, they have a sativa mix pack and a indica mix pack, and a sativa/indica mix pack etc etc....

The antipathogene keeps the seed healthy and the root stimulator helps with the germination and early growth of the seed.

enjoy...

Well thats interesting. Cant see it being used for anything other than mixpacks though.

 

[Ms.Fox]

That's pretty cool! What will they come up with next?

 

[RooRman]

Do these remind anyone else of Easter eggs besides me?

 

[StonerGrower]

^ Ide go on a hunt for those eggs anyday!

 

[Be Irie]

They look like oversized nerds candy... I think I would eat them during a munchie search...

Those kids are always after me Lucky Charms...
In all seriousness, could run into some printing cost issues passed onto the consumer if its a fold out attached with each capsule but could probably skate that issue using an updated downloadable App chart every time a new deal or new seed combination is introduced... I kinda dig it.. but then I also like gimmicky stuff like Sea Monkey's..

 

[CagedApe]

Meh, drives the cost of seeds up which is already too expensive due to prohibition. Seeds have been planting and sprouting by itself just fine for thousands and thousands of years, some coating doesn't tickle my fancy.

 

[BigDannel]

I may be part of the minority here, but I don't like it and think it's silly. I always take a "less is more" approach and try to keep everything as simple as possible. This is just another unnecessary variable added to the mix that "solves" a problem that doesn't exist.

I guess I'll be left behind but I hate how the industry is becoming so gimmicky and based on flashing lights and bright colors. I hate how strains are being sold as "Energize", "Relax", "Recharge", etc... instead of the actual strain name.

 

[Anthony Suszko]

Agree 100%.. has undertones of marketing to a younger generation using sparkly, shinny colorful wow factor appeal.. Gives off a similar vibe of Big Tobacco trying to influence new users with Candy Cigarettes and Joe Camel..

 

[Jackalope]

The original post was from 2008. The seeds I have bought from Greenhouse since don't have it. It seems like the project was a fail anyway.

Anthony Suszko. Candy cigarettes where brought out by a candy company so kids could be like dad. Not a tobacco company to make kids want to smoke........ You might be right about Joe Camel one though.

Thing is Greenhouse did it for a few reasons. None of which were to impress kids. Anyone that has ever dropped a seed near other seeds will understand color coding. What was in the colors is what did the work. It was supposed to add nuits the seed will need when starting. Not a terrible idea even if it didn't work.

 

[CagedApe]

Well now I feel stupid but glad that they never happened.

 

[Jackalope]

No big deal CagedApe. I answered old threads fora long time till I started checking dates LMAO.

If I look back into my seed stock I bet there is at least one colored seed LOL. Pretty sure it is a pink one that is Strawberry Haze.

In the end. I don't remember them changing any prices when they made the change. They were basically trying to improve their product. Yes if it worked the colors would make them stand out. That is what marketing is all about.

 

[TurboBucket]

Necroposters, holy crap.

Y'all a perfect example of consumers today haha. Complaining about the "state of the industry" based on a 12 year old ad.

 

[Bob Loblaw]

It's an inoculant
"An inoculant is generally a powdered form of bacteria or fungus that is added to the soil by means of coating the pea or bean seed with the powder prior to planting. This has specific effects on the plant and/or soil (see below). There are some liquid inoculants available, but the majority are powders "

From the little that I understand about them they are a very good thing. I'm a bit of a dummy but perhaps mycorazine is something similar that we use... just guessing here.

Coated food-crop seeds have been available for decades. Same thing, anti-pathogen and germination/root-stimulation additive. The stuff I used to see on corn was bright red, so you'd be able to tell at a glance that the seed was treated/coated (and know to wash your hands after handling it, probably).

Best use when Greenhouse did it was probably so you wouldn't mix up the seeds in one of their multi-strain products.

 

[Jackalope]

Maybe they figured they would run out of colors by making 5 new hybrids a year? LMAO
