Lots of people release "clone only" strains in se-ed form. . .that's not exactly the same thing as making true clones (ie identical genetic copies of a hybrid) in se-ed form. The first thing can be done with conventional breeding. The second requires serious genetic manipulation, not that...

Creating an IBL is trivially easy (though it takes multiple successive generations, and therefore a long time). . .making a QUALITY one is hard, and that's where all the trick/work is. Maybe instead of just thinking about making lines, you should concentrate on WHAT KIND of lines you want to...

You probably mean "landraces" here. IBLs just mean anything that's been inbred until its genetically homogeneous. . .that doesn't necessarily make it "good", let alone exotic or diverse. IMO, F2s are basically "pollen chucks". They're just an early step in a breeding process, no more. IMO...

Technically speaking, fem A x fem B "could" be an F1, if both A and B were members of different inbred lines. If A and B were sibling plants, then this cross could be an F2, F3, etc, depending on generations away from inbred parents. Again, I think "Green Crack S1" (which is Green Crack x...

I think its fair to say that a large proportion of individuals growing don't understand or appreciate these genetic subtleties. Regardless, I think its more important to pick what works for YOU and your exact needs and circumstances than worry about what the "community" prefers. IMO...

Can anyone recommend a good commercial version of Mazari Shariff? That one is supposed to be the "king" of the Afghan hash strains, having been purpose bred for thousands of years to make sieved hash.

Probably. I think its worth mentioning here that "Afghanistan" and "Pakistan" are both relatively modern countries. Prior to the post WWII breakup of the British Empire, there was no "Pakistan" as its own country; the area was ruled by a series of empires going back thousands of years...

Yeah, the classification here is a bit muddled. -All landraces are inbred lines, but not all inbred lines are landraces. The term landrace specifically refers to open pollinated lines acclimated to a particular geographic area over time. Most of these simply won't achieve their full...

You may be right that you harvested too early, but there could be more to this than just that. I've both smoked this and vaped it, and although still strong in the vape, in my experience, you do lose a good bit of the characteristic indica effect with vape. That's not true of just this...

I did some digging on this; like with many taxonomic classification systems, C. Afghanica isn't recognized as a subspecies by everyone. Basically the term refers specfically to cannabis cultivars from Afghanistan traditionally used to make hash, usually from the mountains. So these are...

Three year old strain. . .I always wonder how these get resurrected. . . What, exactly, is the difference? Sounds to me like "C. Afghanica" is just a subset of indica.

I don't know what Shanti did here, but I suspect he probably did nothing unusual. . .just run the se-eds into optimal temps and humidity. Also, you don't necessarily need a high germination/viability rate if you're starting with hundreds or thousands of beans. As to 10 year old beans, so...

Wish I had read your last post before posting my rant on "elite". Anyway. . .. Well, my experience has been a fairly dramatic improvement with a few months cure time, but you'll find out. . .assuming you have any buds remaining in that time! Well, that says something, I think. Clones could...

I can see that. You can definitely find stuff that's more potent AND better tasting, if those are your criteria. Not sure you can expect to find anything truly "elite" out of one pack of regular beans in any case. For home growers, I think the bottom line test is really just whether or not...

Sounds like you had mostly the same experience with this that I had. The main question I have is just did it live up to your expectations? I can imagine what the answer will be, but I'd also like to hear how you think this compared to the NL and Grape God (if you can). Can't say I didn't...

Don't assume that these won't be viable; you don't really know until you try. Some plants normally put out small se-eds (especially sativa dom ones) and some se-eds are normally uniform in color. Eh. . .if you've only got ONE plant, I wouldn't kill it, even if it is a hermie. Believe...

Maybe there are two freebies in the pack. Its a "Two pack".

If the mother is hermie-prone it will pass those genetics onto offspring. But since the father's genetics also have a "say" here, the offspring may NOT be as hermie-prone as the mother. I don't think this is as simple as just one "hermie" gene, and its going to depend on the genes in question...

Obviously, you can grow these all at once if you choose to, but if you mean a true sea of green where you grow a number of small similar plants next to one another to create a level canopy designed to maximize yields, that probably isn't going to work so well here. Since you've got who...

This. By the way, what have you got against Jeff Goldblum?
