Thanks, it's a great conversation. I guess time will tell and if you are correct then we will see a lot more in-line breeding, which would be a good thing either way, having more stable favorite strains isn't a bad thing, more stable and better strains would be kick ass. So hopefully we do see...

I'd buy that if anyone was winning cup after cup with in-line breeding, they aren't though. The people who win cup after cup are breeding polyhybrids or call them whatever you want, if the term isn't correct it doesn't really matter, A rose by any other name is still a rose. When you are...

I cut the male back over and over leaving only one or two "flowering" sites, this delays them some too. I put a clear plastic bag over the male flowers just before they open up. It's more than enough pollen collected that way, once they have dumped into the bag, just snip it off and away you go...

Various Pupil Stardog crosses fems and a couple others, got a pile of regs around too. Should be stocked up for a while, LOL. More than I'll ever need but it sure feels nice anyway. Greedy? Nah just a horder. I'm like the people who lived through the depression and stock too much food, that's me...

They look great, nice and healthy and lots of fire. ECSD is the strain that always makes me worry. I never think it's going to produce worth squat, I never think it's far enough along and then it always finishes nice anyway and if I take the time to weigh the harvest compared with other plants...

I'm sitting here using my old tray to roll seeds down as I tip the tray up and wondering how many new pot heads, that don't chuck, have never had this experience, that is so common to us Chuckers and old smokers. Just a funny thought because back in the day everyone had a tray or used a magazine...

That's very cool.

Just about any plant will toss some balls if you mess with it enough. If you mess up the light cycle or give the plant stress in other ways they can term hermie. Letting the plant go way past harvest date and messing with the light is a good way to get a plant to produce some pollen. Ethylene is...

Using a good male is the least likely way you will get a herm. Finding a good male is the trick but it's not the herm part you really have to worry about with males. If you breed two F1's from the same line you will get different phenotypes that will pop up in the next generation because of...

That would probably help to build some accountability from within. The problem of course is that it also punishes the good with the bad. Not that I'm totally against it either, just that it's what it would do. I'd do the libertarian solution. I rarely suggest any type of law but I would in this...

These plant limits suck or I'd be growing a sea of green with 50 plants under each light and using pots that size too. People often say they don't have room for enough plants, when in reality you can always cram a bunch of plants under one light if you use small enough containers. It's much...

I haven't grown indoors in beds exactly, But I used to grow my Sativas indoors in 25 gallon containers, the ones you see with rope handles, I'd drill about a million small holes in them. I tried using the same containers for indicas and hybrids and I found it easier to grow with smaller...

Cash talks and BS walks, contact breeders and offer them cold hard cash, offer to buy enough from them and they might give you a price break so you can make some money too. Have your web site up and running before you contact them so you can at least show them you have that part ready. Some will...

I used to go to cups to meet people and pick up strains, then I'd also learn just how much I had to learn as well as how much luck plays a roll. As for winning cups, you gotta not only get a little lucky you have to know how to work the system a bit. I never entered one but I made a lot of cool...

I lost my original Durban Poison male about twenty years ago, cross country move and friends that couldn't keep it alive. I still had lot's of F1's and F2's from that male. But just trying to get back to a male as good as my original was a years work easy. I've also tried to "Box" a hybrid...

Like colocowboy said, flower them all the way out if you can. Some will surprise you at the end, in the same way that some buds will finish way better than they start, some males get frosty later or change their smell later too. If you have to pick early because of these stupid plant limits then...

I'm with you, it's harder to get the smell and taste right (the two go hand in hand) than it is to get frosty plants. It used to be the other way around, but not anymore. We used to have to search through a shit ton of males to get just one that would put off frosty offspring and that made smell...

Yep I've been absolutely convinced that some chucks would be the very best, and they turned out Meh. While I've had others that I didn't expect that much out of, that were fantastic.

It's driving me nuts right now. I've got seeds that need to be harvested but because of Covid, I haven't been able to smoke these with the buddies I'd been saving it for. They were supposed to be driving up to hang out but we are still half ass locked down and they are staying put. I hate to dig...

You should try the Durban Poison some people call it a landrace strain and I guess technically it's true, but the guy who bred it worked a long time to pick through and find the best. He did this in Amsterdam and it can grow outdoors there, it's one of the only Sativa's I know of that can be...
