i'm pretty sure an open pollination is when you have a room full of males and a room full of females and you simply let them all do their thing instead of picking say one male and one female and pollinating them individually like how its done if your working on a cross say..
at least this is what i've always thought it to mean, lets see if i'm right or wrong, lol...

i mean, i could be completely wrong, lol, this is just what i've always thought it to mean..
that is not to say that it couldn't simply be a room full of dads of the same strain, and a room full of mom's of the same strain.. it would still be an open pollination if you just let them do their thing instead of picking one male for one female and pollinating them by hand.. in an open pollination, your not really looking for a specific pheno, and breeding for certain traits, you're just breeding with everything that you have all at once.. and of course, you're going to end up with a ton of different pheno's in the end, and i would imagine that you'd have to do a ton of growing to find what your looking for afterwards, but then again i could be completely wrong about this, lol..
where the hell is cmt, lol....

i picked up the jack herer x skunk, but i traded them before i had a chance to grow them, but i'm sure its a nice strain to say the least.. i don't see how you could go wrong with that one tbh.. i heard that its an easier to grow jack herer and it helps bring down the flowering time on jack as well.. sounds like a win win to me, which is why i had ordered it, lol..
and i don't know much about somango.. it always seems like you either hear of people who either love soma's work, or they hate it. don't hear too many people saying it was ehh, it was ok... like i said, most of the time i hear someone say it was awesome, or someone saying his gear is shit.. this is why i've never grown any of soma's gear myself as i'm not sure where the truth lies..

I didn't know about the upcoming first of month sale until this morning when it was posted here. So, the Attitude has a sale every first of the month? Anyway, I should be receiving the G13 Labs Super Skunk, Purple Haze, and Gigabud as freebies with my before the first of the month order.

Yes, it does make it too easy to keep adding to the seed collection. I have started my collection already.First weekend of every month, yep...makes it temptin' to start a collection, doesn't it...

nice, i've grown out the super skunk, and i have to say that i was pleasantly pleased by it.. one note on it though if you're planning on growing it any time soon.. odor control, lol.. that strain smelled like there were two skunks under my bed having unprotected butt sex.. it was crazy strong.. i mean, wicked wicked dead skunk stunk... i'm always readking people asking what ever happened to that old fashioned skunk smell that they knew from growing up, and i tell them all to grow g13 labs super skunk, you won't regret it, unless of course you don't have good odor control, than you'll do nothing but regret it like i did.. i highly recommend this strain if you're looking for an old skool skunk smell and high.. really good stuff..

The reason for using open pollination is to guarantee more diversity in the strain. A Landrace strain will have many common traits and are still part of the same strain, but there is a wide range of different genes present because of the numerous amount of donors involved. In animal breeding for instance, many pure breeds have associated problems with them and is usually the direct result of using a single male or female and the more they breed the more closely related they become which can lead to inbreeding depression. You can't always see the bad traits in the parents, especially males since they are not used for marijuana, and when they do show themselves it's usually too late. Plants that are too inbred will not be able to adapt and are therefore more vulnerable to ailments or changes in their environment. It may be harder to stabilize specific traits when using multiple plants, but if only using a single male and female can also lead to other species specific traits being lost. If your breeding for a specific trait it is probably better to choose multiple plants that show the characteristics you are looking for and not just one to ensure a good pool for the future. Many breeders do just that, off the top of my head I can say chimera and tom hill both practice open pollination using multiple plants after culling the plants that show traits that are not desirable.

Back in the day weed smell is one that I'd like to find and grow. I had the Nirvana Old Skool deal package (Swiss Cheese and Master Kush) on my wishlist for this very reason. I will only have 1 seed of the Super Skunk so I hope it pops and grows. If it is anything like you have described I will have to take cuttings and maybe possibly try my mothering skills. If it doesn't take I'll just have to order it in the future. Thanks for the info

tks is the trichome kings auction site.. they have a ton of smaller lesser known breeders that i've pretty much only seen on their site.. they do have some stuff from the bigger breeders, but for the most part, it's mostly lesser known breeders..
