Cannaventure seeds thread

[Heisenbeans]

thing is, its a tough call. What one person throws out grows fine for others? Many of us are growing the same strains, same batch o beans and not having any balls or troubles. Can't explain it if its same beans, diff gardens but all gardens are on point. Can't explain it.

I think there may be some quality control issues personally. There is no reason if 2 parents dont hold any herm issues that 1 pack be completely herm free and another have multiple or more than 1.
It's most likely stray pollen from a plant that's throwing balls on its own or one of the parents is just a hermie prone plant.

Just cause there are the same strain doesnt mean all siblings get the same set of chromosomes. If the pheno throws balls then its a no go for chucking but if another pheno performs flawless then it is good to go. Every bean is a different story.

I agree and any breeder knows when they run a plant in flower if they find stray bananas on it under good conditions than it should not be used for breeding period. There are just to many other good ones out there to use besides finding your own fire moms from going through your own seed stock.
I truly believe a parent that had been properly stress tested and never throws 1 nut is hood to use for breeding until proven otherwise.

I still think your idea of stress testing breeding plants is excellent.
It doesn't guarantee there won't be "issues", but at least you did the work to produce the best product possible.

I appreciate that.

There is so much "diverse" ancestry in the plants that are grown today, it's hard to tell what a plant will turn out to be,
until you actually grow the damn thing.

I mean really man we all know the plants were working with. We know what ones we have to watch and the ones we never have to worry about

Growing from seed has been way more problematic than growing from clones.
The weird thing is I've grown GPS strains in this environment with zero issues (chinook haze) while others like OBS popped balls early.
Same with cannaventure. I've had good luck and bad luck.
Hell I've had zero issues with my cult classics plants this run -- and they're cookie hybrids! Go figure...

Was the fems throwing balls out or was it both Male and female flowers?

 

[dstroy]

Lvtk #1, the most advanced, still got some time.



I’m thinking 9.5 weeks... could be ok if it doesn’t dry into little fluff ball buds I fucken hate that shit.

#2 dense af


#3 this one looks weird buds look weird but it’s frosty so who cares


#4 smells good


#5 photogenic, low yield


#6 yeah, good resin production

Both male and female flowers.
OBS regs threw straight balls early -- and I didn't notice in time.

Thank you

From seed. They are pretty frosty and smell great.

The hurkle #1 had to come down yesterday, it was full of balls. top to bottom. I'm hoping the last lemon crash and hurkle stay ball less. Shit happens, still got plenty of lemon crash and a few more hurkle beans for later.

My sympathies! I got a couple nice plastic containers out of the deal!

I do have a small Cookie Wreck at 7 weeks that is sporting black -grape leaves and deep,sugar coating but is very small. Very sweet maybe berry smell and definitely Cookie
dough!

It's most likely stray pollen from a plant that's throwing balls on its own or one of the parents is just a hermie prone plant.

Have you actually grown any Cannaventure gear or are you just talking shit about someone who has been in the seed game a decade longer than you?

LOL Jeff. I still think folks are moving too fast. Get a cut in the mail...hit it...sell it/spread it. If a guy doesn't spend at least 3-4 cycles with a cut he was given in his own garden before making seeds...problems are >>>deserved<<<. I don't call it laziness..I call it opportunistic....and a bit egotistic. Some folks just gotta be the star. Definitely a reoccurring theme in PotLand. Yawn. "Next".

The CVS gear snafu is puzzling. I got all my CVS gear Spring 2018 when they were sold at GPS....on the 666 sale. I still have a buncha packs. Maybe we should track WHEN folks got their seeds...cus it SEEMS like something happened over the Spring/Summer(?). A bunch of us grew these outdoors with few problems last Summer....but now.....shit goin bad all over? >>>Something<<< changed. New cuts brought in/etc... dunno....something. He definitely got cuts of "Ghost" and "Arcata"...."Al" is in the mix as well.....and who knows what else. IF these are the real deal, originals...dunno. I do know that I never remember herms on any of those in the old days. "Trainwrecks" claim to fame was that the seeds came with a huge bundle of bamboo stakes...cus the real deal would bulk wildly...then snap all of your stems overnight at about week 7 if you weren't ahead of the game and staking them up like mad.... dunno...can't prove any of it...but again...it seems >something< had changed...and it was right about the time the 10 year sale came into play, IMO. I skipped that drop....and have seen no hermies here....but who knows?

I'll grow my packs out....but I will say the reports are discouraging. Being I just stocked hard on Cannarado gear this week and am super stoked over all of em...the CVS selections will get pushed to the guerilla garden (thiniking outdoor SOG). Pop em and flower em small...IF there is such a thing with this ever-so-stretchy gear...

Gonna be interesting to see if doing rooms full of gifted cuts will play out favorably for ya Heisen....I mean....EVERY ONE of these cats believes they know what they are doing...LOL....and everybody is sharing the same genetics...so never say never and don't talk TOO loudly....uuuhhhhummm. Karma likes to look for that kinda shit...yes she does. Your turn on the hot seat is fast approaching.

 

[Bodyne]

ECCW, CW fems, LA Affie, Hurkel OG, Lemon Crash OG, no herms, grown indoor. Hard not to be nervous after so many reports, though. AG, CW, 91D left, I ain't givin up on the 91, lol.

 

[Mr Blamo]

Still no email from Rusty.
So I wont be reporting on what I have going from him.
Also I had 5 friends that were going to grab some of rusty gear but not now.
Those friends are now looking at Greenpoint Seeds to buy.
Terrible customer service and reports of hermies everywhere.
I sure wish I would have waited to buy cv gear because I wouldn't have bought in the first place if I knew of the terrible customer service and the reports of bad hermie issues ….
With that said im going to go out and get on my small john deer tractor and get rid of the snow.

Then im gonna smoke a big one of Barneys farm Gelato 31
Weed that don't hermie…….

 

[hillbill]

The two Alberts I chopped with nanners at 45 days are mostly dry and trimmed. Even has some good potency at this stage....gazy eyes! They both smell like old perfume that has lost it’s identity and just smells like that old perfume. Tasty in the vape(Air) and takes on a deep hash tone after a few draws.

 

[TrailBlazer12747]

Bummed to hear about herm probs. Im running LVTK, Pure ghost og, and triple nova. Just flipped 4 days ago. I didnt veg as long as i normally would. I topped once and let them recover then flipped to 12/12. Trying to get another harvest in before the hot summer gets here and i turn my focus to outdoor. Heres a few pics. Everything from cannaventure is doing quite well. I also have some chemdog 91 s1's from csi Humboldt but ill talk about those in that thread.

Triple Nova... most easily identifiable plant in the room bc of the fan leaves
Very short and fat fans. Took well to topping.


Stretchy LVTK.. tallest plant in the tent. Long internode spacing. Will be keeping close eye for balls. No mutant issues to speak of.


Squatty LVTK... this one just doesnt want to grow vertically it seems. Hopefully it takes off soon. Much tighter node spacing on this one.


Pure ghost OG.
