I know we have at least a few other skilled growers here who can produce some forsty buds. You guys don't need an expensive camera or set of macro lenses to get some awesome trich shots.The newest smartphones can take some great pictures by themselves, and even closer ones if coupled with a...

Your seed could have gotten mixed up. If your plant is an auto then there is no point cloning it. If not, then it is just showing preflowers. You should be able to tell within a week or so, because if it is going to auto on you, then it will have pom poms at the tops of its branches by then...

Heck yea, man. Me too. People fight over the dumbest things on forums. I'm here to learn and have fun, not to argue about how someone else is growing their bud. It's interesting comparing methods, whether you end up agreeing or not, because every so often you'll come across a bit of information...

Well, I wouldn't want every strain to be stabilized to the point where certain traits are lost, and I would be keeping seeds from each generation while in the process of stabilizing a strain, so the genetics would never be gone forever. I'd just know exactly what each seed was going to produce...

Strain: Afghan Kush Ryder Breeder: World of Seeds Brief description of strain: Potent indica stone. Dense nugs. Classic marijuana smell. Occasional hermie issues with this strain, but overall, highly recommended. Growing Method: Soil 3 gallon smartpot Picture(s):

If you have any frosty autoflower buds, share as many pics as you want, here. To keep things organized, and for reference, please use the form below if your post has a picture in it (one form per plant). Guidelines for pictures: -You must have grown the buds yourself. -It doesn't matter when...

Yea. That's the gist of it. Each time you self a plant, or cross it with one of it's "siblings (same generation), you move on to the next generation with the seeds that are created.

I don't believe that selfing a plant ruins the vigor over time. Genetically, selfing a plant is the similar to pollinating it with pollen from one of it's "siblings" from the same generation. That's why all of the babies from a selfed plant aren't identical. If you self an f1, you get a lot of...

Once you find a plant with all the traits you are looking for, you can just keep selfing it for several generations until the strain is stable and all of its offspring are the same pheno. What main monogenetic traits (ones that are either on or off, such as purple or green) do you want the new...

The part I bolded is what was getting me confused. Is Berry Ryder considered "distinctly different" from a hybrid that is already half Berry Ryder? Especially if the new hybrid hasn't been inbred for very many generations by the time of the backcrossing. Also, in regards to @HighLowGrow and...

Me? Yea, I've done a lot of reading on Punnet Squares, for plant breeding. I always thought of bc1's as f1's as well, but I wasn't sure if it was incorrect to label them as that, or to just label the next generation "f2" with nothing else there to show that the previous was a backcross.

That's called backcrossing, and is used to make the new strain more like the parent you choose to backcross to. The labeling is kind of confusing, but it is considered a "bc1"... I don't know if that translates exactly into "f1" for purposes of then inbreeding (ei. bc1 x bc1 = f2?), tho. I know...

That happens when the two nodes under the cut you make are very close together. The lack of hormones being sent downwards from the top of the plant, will affect both of those nodes, due to thir proximity.

Lmao, we all make an efficient team.What one doesn't know, someone else probably has experience with already. I feel like CS takes longer to work when you start late (late being even when the tops are all pistil pom-poms), but it still works. I'm not sure what the cutoff period is to see...

You want the buds to be less dense? Every generation of offspring is considered an f#. So the first generation of children are f1. Then their inbred offspring are f2. etc.. Once you get to f7, all of the offpring should be pretty much identical (one phenotype), even with random selection of...

Think Different is a great auto strain. Definitely has a noticeably more sativa head high effect than most other auto's, and it has a very unique flavor and smell, too. It continues to smell better and better for at least a month of curing, so don't rush it.

As long as you have fresh white pistils being made, you should be fine to make more seeds. Contrary to popular belief, auto's don't just up and die all of a sudden as if they were on a timer. They automatically flower within a certain time period, but can live for far longer than their...

I usually wait a day before poking around at the stamens, because I don't want to get any of the residual moisture on the pollen, which will destroy it. It also causes it to clump, and makes it harder to collect. That said, if the plant is already covered in pollen sacs, and some are maturing...

These guys are right. If you only smoke a few times a month, your tolerance will be almost at zero, which will cause 3 hits to be enough to get stoned. Even smoking one day a week won't raise your tolerance much, if at all. It's consecutive days, and even more so, multiple sessions per day, that...

This is incorrect. Fem seeds are no different than regular seeds. They are just female, not "feminized". Nothing is done to them to change them into females. The colloidal silver sprayed on a female plant bonds to the copper molecules in he plant, and inhibits the production of ethylene, which...
