Classics are always good. I like the fem = hermie talk, or "the right way" to reverse etc... my how times have changed.May as well dig up this old thread,crazy...

True..Coming from the chucker's thread to here. I'd say Some of the RIU member's passion has driven progress forward exponetially in 8-9 years.
Understood, my bad.True..
I'm talking more herm/fems/s1 talk..
I don't understand the s1s but I understand the s1s if that makes sense. (I may try to make some,so I can further enhance my knowledge on them)
Herms..they never really bothered me like that.. that slapstick Chuck was from herm pollen & them plants did just fine..
Fems rock,just wish I had a bunch to grow at one time,I may try to make some at some point(I can't knock it till I try it)
If they're done correctly, they're a perfect balance between two varieties of your preference.i love f1's...they work for me
If this were legalese. I'd find it hard for many to call a strain their "own". Seems all the strains are descendants from something. Landraces! IBLs and heirloom strains being the exception.Just curious, at what point is it safe to start considering something "your own" strain, without getting anybodies feelings hurt? Are we talking like finding a new elite in a pollen chuck or an entirely new line?
I personally wouldn't call something my own until both parents were not directly from another breeders work but then again, lots of stuff being sold using some popular clone-only x whatever house male and many consider that to be their own.
I think it’s pretty safe to assume cannabis adapts to its environment due to the huge genetic variety of landrace strains.Could you make a hardier plant by subjecting a couple generations to bullshit environtments?
Does feed change characteristics of the next gen?
Yeah, but adaptation takes place over many, many generations on a large population where the most suited to the habitat are able to reproduce the most successfully. Taking the same 2 cuts and breeding them in wildly different environments will still result in similar offspring.I think it’s pretty safe to assume cannabis adapts to its environment due to the huge genetic variety of landrace strains.
This is where i was going with this, just wondering how much pollen chuckers are botching genetics simply based on envrinmental factors, or running a strain that was bred in soil for x amount of generations and then put into hydro, is there complications associated with such?Yeah, but adaptation takes place over many, many generations on a large population where the most suited to the habitat are able to reproduce the most successfully.

Probably my first time ever saying this......That's a pretty dude you gotcha self there grilledcheese!I bred a pair of male and female bag seeds, indica dom, im assuming afghani or kush base, making f2s. I also crossed the male to a fem seed i found in my feminised dinafem blue cheese (i think this makes that seed an s1?) anyhow that blue cheese runt got hit with the same pollen, and i also crossed the same male with a "lemon auto" that was given to me from a friend, between those i have a good stock ontop of all my other seeds. I plan on doing a stability test/ shootout 15 at a time 5 per strain. Once i find a good female out of the "f2" batch i made ill back cross it too my left over pollen from the male f1 in theory giving me more male characteristics.
I can share pics if anyonws interested .i dubbed the indica dom male and its offspring "rotweiller" and its primary word in the name defines the cross.
Purple rotty being the mom and dad the same indica dom
Blue rotty is the bluecheese x rotty
Lemon rotty is the "lemon" auto x rotty
The pics are just of the dad. After showing nanners he was fed 1 feed of megacrop at half strength and left in a 5 gal for 2 months in the shade, i harvested pollen every 1-2 weeks untill he was pretty much a stump. Never gave me shit for it not even once. Very fast grower. Very strong plant. Biggest leaves ive personally grown. NOT mold resistant as far as i can tell from the mom as she started getting rot at week 5 outdoors in high humidity. Hense the name lol. Now everyone knows my inside joke.View attachment 4229188 View attachment 4229190 View attachment 4229191
