    How much does genetics really matter for seeds? How much of it is a scam?

    I'm looking at the aspect of uniformity in a pack of seeds, something that seems to have been lost over the years of breeding one poly hybrid to another . Chasing clones is a crap shoot . A "fire" strain with stabilized genetics would be a boon to the homegrower . This link explains some of...

    How much does genetics really matter for seeds? How much of it is a scam?

    They were the best phenos found from that lineage. My guess is that in 2018 new commercial growers were using clones of the best pheno they could find. As they grew and had to ramp up production they found that cloning couldn't support the yield necessary. So they started growing from...

    How much does genetics really matter for seeds? How much of it is a scam?

    It's a lot of work to get a plant to produce seeds that all grow into one desired phenotype . And as I said some posts back cannabis is handicapped by the present lack of knowledge . At this point it's those with a true love of the plant and decades of experience who can accomplish it via eye ...

    New seedlings

    If the original intent was to put them in the ground now would be a good time . I'd keep an eye on that tall one . Looks kinda "male'ish" . A nice deep hole and a handful or two of something like Espoma Gardentone would do them well .

    Day 85 of flower should I harvest

    Looks like you've reached the point of diminishing returns . Whatever happened isn't reversible at this point .

    Ugly weed . Before the dispensaries opened up in Massachusetts my nephew dealt with a collective of home growers . He brought me a bag of Headbanger that really wasn't too pretty . Damn good smoke though . The stuff my buddy and I use to guerilla grow didn't have much bag appeal either but like...

    A guy I used to sell weed to and deer hunt with came back from I think Kansas with a truck bed full of that shit sometime around the late 80's early 90's . He was a big time coke dealer but didn't know jack about weed . Thought he hit it big before I told him it was just wild hemp .

    How much does genetics really matter for seeds? How much of it is a scam?

    I got something about 5 years ago from a buddy who got it from a Rastafarian he knew . My buddy butchered the strain name into something like "k-whap" . It was and still is the best weed I've ever smoked since we had our original '79 Hindu Kush . Turned a grown man into a giggling puffy eyed...

    My old partners outdoor strain will put your dick in the dirt if you like narcotic . No name just what he came up with over the years . He was the green thumb of our operation .

    any reasons why my plants not growing at the same rate as my other plant?

    Were the clones taken from a flowering plant ? As said above they look like revegged plants .

    How much does genetics really matter for seeds? How much of it is a scam?

    I'm no genetics whiz , as I mentioned before I'm good with angelfish genetics and I understand the Mendelian principles . In my thinking the genetics of the old days aren't lost , they're just hidden and not being found due to years of hybridizing without clear knowledge of the alleles...

    Has there ever been any real testing and breakdown of genomes and alleles in cannabis ?

    How much does genetics really matter for seeds? How much of it is a scam?

    Genetics is pretty much everything given optimal growing conditions . I bred angelfish for years , very nice ones . Genetics was important . When I started I got crappy fry that wouldn't grow , parents that had low spawn/fertility rates , deformed fry . When I introduced better genetics into my...

    build or buy

    If you're good with tools and 2×4's you can put together something pretty nice . The greatest advantage IMO would be floor to ceiling height and a greater ability insulate if needed .

    THC-A

    It's a marketing technique to get people to buy shitty hemp flower as far as I know . THC-A has medicinal value but if the flowers being sold have enough to get you high by smoking it they're illegal by law in non recreational states . That's the way I understand it .

    Helicopters

    Bow hunters are a pita if you have a Sept season like we have here . Sneaky bastards all camo'd up . Usually you'll see their vehicle and leave them be that day . Biggest problem with hunters I had was after harvest during the fall/winter season . We liked to use the same spots over and over if...

    Helicopters

    It all depends on how good the spotter is . Don't grow on large tracts of state land , power line or gas line right of ways, etc... If you clear out a lot of vegetation around your plants they stick out like a sore thumb . Smaller pieces of land closer to civilization are less likely to get...
