Yea its hard to judge without some sort of numbers on PAR values etc. just keep a close eye on them and if they start looking unhappy/droopy back the light up again usually even if its a weak light you want to keep it at least 12 inches or so from seedlings until they have a few sets of leaves...

I guess all those jokes I've heard/seen about the US postal service have some truth in them, but on the bright side at least if you can get your other plant going well then you should be able to take cuttings.

I got a reply back from TNSB about taking full responsibility for the order and they are sending me two 3 packs of the same seed as replacement so +1 seed for the trouble I guess. Also got my order from GTA seedbank, super fast, good communication and breeder packs, very happy with them!

That sounds like a lot of work, I guess you didn't have to worry too much about the smell ? I just came across the compost bin filters and they were so cheap it seemed like a great idea, its anyone's guess how long they will last though. So you were just using the bulbs in socket plug adapter...

yes Hemp Depot was great for me as well and they mark if its in breeder packs or not, I picked up some C99 from them and got the original breeder pack as well pretty quick, I just wish they had some more variety and pure strains as I've never heard anything about most of the breeders whose seeds...

Heeyyy there you go, see it just needed a little extra time! You could of course do exactly what I'm doing and just buy some 2x2s and 1x2s and cut the length but it was an excuse for me to use my table saw and wood I already had and cost nothing extra, so why not right? So I've got it wrapped...

Did you get original breeder packs by chance?

I'll concede your point somewhat on the alleles, however later in your post you said it yourself when you mentioned stabilizing which is a reduction of the possible expressions, naturally that will happen much faster with selfing which is then your trade off for giving up diversity. As for the...

Hey there, So my light showed up today so I assembled the box frame and did a test fit for my layout. I'll attach a picture but basically I cut two 6 ft 2x4 into 3 pieces, two just over an inch wide and one 3/4" piece. Then I cut those pieces into slightly less than 3 foot lengths and the...

I think that's possible to have happened but the fact that as a plant its pollen is airborne and as widely dispersed as it is (on top of requiring a tiny amount to be pollinated) would certainly suggest that other nearby groups of plants that do have males with pollen could certainly spread...

Actually my thesis is that cutting out the extra genetics from males limits the gene pool, please make sure you understand before throwing around accusations. After all the thread title is "the case -for- regular seed" aka Males, not the case against feminized seeds. You can still use fems if...

I appreciate the input and here's a counter point, if Cannabis didn't 'evolve' how would you be able to selectively breed it for higher THC if it stayed that same? that's a genetic change right there. There's always movement of DNA strands usually called transposons and just due to the nature...

Yes, there are definitely less regular seeds the experience I had that made me want to post something about it even more was going to a shop in person and all they push is feminized seeds. They carry something like 200 fem. seeds and have exactly 4 regular ones, keeping in mind this is all they...

I just want to re iterate that I was highlighting the potential for large losses due to lack of diversity and that it is a plausible scenario, it would both require a lot of time and a lot of elements coming together. It doesn't necessarily mean it would go extinct entirely but if its population...

I don't see how its an exaggeration, bananas are just an example of what can happen when there is a lack of genetic diversity, and if a resistant disease were to emerge you would have a much harder time dealing with it. Since fungi are air borne it doesn't matter if its a big mono-crop or a...
