Hmmm....
I used to collect seeds from the weed I was buying in the 80s before sensimillia come around. 30 years later I started growing and I happen to run across those seeds. They were stored in a baggie in a desk drawer thay sat over top of heat register for a decade.
Just for shits and giggles I tried germinating some. I got about a 25% success rate. I grew out four plants. They turned out pretty good.
What point is... if the genetics are strong then the seeds should pop and grow? If not... then the genetics arent so strong and arent worth saving?
Thats a sugestion...
Btw. You are a lucky man ...25% ...of fried seeds .... thats a respectable ratio.
Lets talk about G-netics....
I know dank strains that will not pop after 2 years of storing, if not stored in the fridge.
I know industrial hemp strains that will pop even after you cooked them for fishing.
So any sugestions on that?
The Strain I am trying to safe here is something special. Most comercial growers would never grow this strain.
The father is just a sensi seeds skunk#1 male.
I used it because skunk#1 is not giving much of its traits like taste aso to the offspring in my experience. That was exactly what I needed at this point. And I just had this nice skunk male around at that time.
I hoped the mother would dominate especially for taste.
Also hped the skunk will add some yield and better structure.
The mother I got gifted by a friend named BBQ.
We shared clones and dope and whatever we had.
One day he came over with two clones labeled br#6 and br#3.
The Info he gave me was that it is a black russian from a guy called TGA subcool. After research I only could think of TGAs black russian backcross.
He grew it and said the yield isnt worth growing it and paying electricity for it. He warned me that they are some dwarfs and so on. But he mentioned some wicked taste. That took my attention.
I made clones. I kept the moms and put the clones to my other ladies I had after veg.
Crazy thing was those two plants would finish both after 30 days(BR#6) / 40 days (BR#3)
But the downside was they ended up less than a foot in size for me and my growbuddy. I did try a lot to trigger them into bigger plants.. pruning.. long veg...etc.
No Chance ...30-40 days flowernig and 1 foot of height was all I got. After that all hairs were brown and trics ready for harvest.
30g dry Bud was the best yield per Plant.
BR#3 was slightly taller, or better a bit more lanky.
Both 3 and 6 had thin weak stems ang light green leafes. With Popcorn Buds on it.
6 was darker purple colored, 3 was reddich to light purple Bud from the start.
They were overloaded with tricomes ...maybe humilated by that coat. Dunno.
But.....
The T A S T E
UNREAL EXTREME EXTRATERRESTIAL ALIENBERRY PURPLE SWEET DEEP FLAVOUR AND TASTE.
Like some kind of extraterrestrial Alienberries mixed up with some coolaid grape.
But I am not just talking about a bit of a nuance in the back of smoke... I am talking about a overwhelming extreme kind of taste. Out of this world! Unreal! Supernatural taste. Long lasting taste.
What she lacked in size she got in taste and flavour.
I would die to get that taste back!
I am not a dealer so I dont care too much about yield.
I think I still have pictures from 6 somewhere on some old harddisk.
I will search and upload them.
Peace
Edit:
But I have to agree with you that at least the motherplant 6 and her sister were weak plants in most points.
While the skunk male was a strong sticky motherfucker.
That still would just make "half weak genetics" at best, right?
I have no Lab. Sad but true.
