Yes, that's correct.

I sort of "get" that as an irrational response to soothe the 'pain' of getting rid of the buds you grew and sort of want to keep, even though it fundamentally doesn't make any sense. But really, wouldn't it be better to grow everything high yielding, with high potency and bag appeal?

Not sure what you're thanking me for, but whatever it is, you're welcome. With respect to Mr. Factsordie, despite our "disagreement", I think he does (albeit tangentially) raise a good point by Tom Hill. Most breeders claim that they won't breed with feminized genetics, and say doing so...

How they "act" is a different question that the proper way to classify them genetically. You can't generalize this for all S1s because it depends on the genetic background of the S1 parent. But if the parent is an F1, the S1 is the same as F1 x F1 and is genetically an F2. Law of...

That's very insightful of you. Since you seem not to be aware of why I spell the word that way, the point of the "-" is to avoid the board sponsor autolinker. Sometimes I also use "ceed" but I think its a little "cilly" and mostly stopped doing that. Well I can't prove that it is, but its my...

However you want to label it, Sour Diesel is a line known to put out occasional male flowers, and its not at all uncommon to find the occasional se-ed in buds. So most likely, this se-ed in a Sour Diesel S1 (meaning its "feminized"). Those will put out different phenos, most of which will...

So, in other words, you CAN'T explain what an S1 is. . .didn't think so. Not sure why you think I'm not on ICmag, but I tell you what. . .why don't you go over there and read some opinions on Williams Wonder from the growers there. When you're done, feel free to post the link to them here...

Toured the physical facilities, no (they're mostly in Europe), but I've spoken to multiple breeders privately and on the internet, and can't remember one with an issue telling me about their parent stock. Hell, I even got Swerve to do it. Plenty of breeders list the parent genetics in their ad...

With due respect, I think I have a pretty good appreciation of what "breeding" is, probably better than most. Sorry to break this to you, but DNA isn't doing selections from thousands of plants, and they never have. SOME of their lines are worked/selected, but even of the ones that are...

Maybe you should try some from an actual grower next time. Please explain it to me, then. Go ahead, teach me something.

This is puzzling. I totally "get" wanting something that isn't brain-dead potent, but any stronger strain can be 10% THC if you just harvest it early. You can also take smaller hits or simply don't hold them as long.

Well indica/sativa is a somewhat arbitrary distinction. There are low CBD and tall growing subcontinental strains for sure. Also, individual reactions to any strain can be fairly different. Not everything called "Afghani" is. . .many of the commercial "Afghanis" are actually hybrids (usually...

An S1 is a sexual cross of a plant with itself. It could occur with a natural "hermie" plant fertilizing itself, or it could occur when a breeder deliberately "reverses" a plant with a chemical agent such as colloidal silver, to force male flower creation. This can also be done with pollen...

No. This is a common misconception promulgated by se-ed-sellers who want you to believe this. If you want a "spitting image" of the parent, you have to take a clone of the parent. That's why "clone only" plants exist. If it were possible to replicate "clone only" strains just by...

I respect the fact that Sickmeds went back to the "well" so to speak, and at the cost of quite a bit of money and personal work, took a well-regarded old-school line out of commercial extinction and made it available again for anyone to buy for the first time in many years. In my opinion...

It well could be the plant. If you've vaped OTHER WiWo buds and had different effect, or smoked this one with the same effect, then there's your answer. I'm just saying that in general vaping and smoking will give different effects. You'll get closer with the highest possible temp, but so...

I can't speak to the SSSC pheno variation, since I've never grown any from SSSC packs. Supposedly the line was pretty uniform even then. From Sickmeds, the pheno variation I've seen is pretty minimal. I've seen some variation in height, and some variation in number of "nanas" during...

I think you are correct about the paradigm shift. In Europe in particular, most growers are starting from se-eds and they're growing outdoors. If you're only growing a few plants outdoors, and you have to start from se-ed, its a major bummer to find out in say late July that your now 3-4...

I get you now. I think what you might think about is what you'd like to see in terms of strains in the commercial market that don't exist, then fill that niche. The last thing anyone really needs right now is another variant of OG Kush x whatever, yet that's what probably 70% of the breeders...

Well, any IBL x a different IBL will make "an F1". . .it just may not make one that the traits typically associated with high quality drug F1s (eg hybrid vigor, etc), and I think that's what you're really getting at here. Well Serious is "serious", Simon is a real breeder, and for him quality...
