6/7 love triangle
5/5 mimosa
5/5 slymeball
3/3 sour lime og

Looking for a frosty citrus male for goji. I think I have good odds and a decent amount of fire to look forward to!

Anyone want to share their thoughts on chucking with fems?
in theory, I see a lot of folks automatically say no, brings herm tendency out. In reality, when you talk to folks doin it, many are made with regs and fems or fems and fems, and the breeders will say they have done it up to a few generations with no problems. I do realize like the deal with Rado, etc and others, but in those instances I believe its a contract out garden, so to speak, not a personal smaller grow with more control. jmho. You notice you never hear any complaints on Useful gear hermie? Just to name one. And now, on IG, you see many folks buying smaller breeder seeds fem and autos both, and people growin it out and not bitchin, not finding problems. again, jmho, all I got.

Hutter's Stash [ formerly Pete's Piece ] [ formerly Copper Dolato ] was made with the IHG fem. Candy Samples [ formerly Copper XXX ] was made with an IHG Triple OG fem. At 58 days, one tester of each are stellar.

Edit: Copper Raspberry [scrapped] used the fem CV, and inherited the problems from that batch. Soma's NYC Diesel was a fem bean used for the NYC Copper. Untested so far, but hope to get some feedback from the freebies being passed out.

Hitting fems with male pollen?
Just fine in my opinion.

Fems crossed to another fem?
I like this way..

S1s?
What's the point,if every seed is not exactly like mom?
To play devil's advocate on the last one, you get to see how mom expresses herself without outside influence. To some genetics scientists this might have value, for chuckers maybe a waste of time unless you don't have any other plants?

Ok. That's the confirmation I was looking for. I've bought a lot of fems recently to look through and if anything stands out I want toss pollen on it.

I'm hitting some Bora Bora with something, just not sure with what yet. Or are you meaning fem pollen from a gal plant?
No. Just thinking of hitting some fems with reg male pollen.
I figured I'd ask here first. Every time I try to dive into research about breeding I inevitably glaze over with boredom once they start going on about pairing alleles and gene sequencing.
I prefer the meat and potatoes this thread offers, :wink:

Iam getting to old to grow male plants to just throw away,my state ky, is not a legal state yet and that's why I like making fem, beans for I can get moor weight with less work,I also have been lucky not one plant has ever hermed on me but I grow outdoors.I Cross fem, beans to fem, beans every year and still no hearms.How has your all fem, beans did that you have made?Just woundering how your alls has did is all.happy growing and I cant wait till spring to get back to growing lots of different strains.Best of luck to all.

I've had good results with all I've made. I've also made a lot of S2's and some S3's. I first used GA3, then bought the tierra's mist and now I make my own colloidal silver. The only thing I questioned was on Critical plus, I made S2's and the next season we had rain for a few days and they didn't seem to be as resistant to bud rot as the previous S1. I had made some f1 hybrids with that same critical mom and they didn't miss a beat in that rain. The fems did great inside though.
I think the problem doesnt lie in fems but people making fems from plants that haven’t been stress tested for herm tendencies.
You said it all right there!! It has nothing to do with the feminizing process, if a fem seed herms, the mom or pollen donor had that tendency before the feminizing process. If your gonna make fems you need to make sure the parent/parents will not turn. The parents need major stress testing like erratic light schedule, erratic temps,nutes..just any kind of stress you can think of, and it may take a while to find one. But you can believe when you do it want herm on you down the road. Just my opinion, but I truly believe it.

Hey People !
Since moving into new house with all my new BIG plans i ended up having to down tools a week after i set up due to an issue with rowdy neighbors who though throwing a rave and using my garden as an ash tray was no big thing, on the night im due to have my 2 young boys stay over... Long story short, i had to move everything ( again ) and sort the problem. They have since had the urge to move towns :-)
I managed to keep the gglue and more importantly Fireballs with my cookies cut and the seeds i had just popped and the show is back on :-)
Im going to take some new shots this weekend. The phone used is useless, this was 5 days or so ago, she now filling in, frost is crazy, smells amazing and she's purple from half way down.

Grows very alike the cookies. Ive got a gg#4 and a cookies in with her, all starving but just got new nutes today. Importantly, with the move ect.. i had my brother babysit my clones and this almost got mistaken for a gglue but i did take a cut ( cowboy style in a shaving foam lid with soil - in homage to @DGT ) and it rooted in a week :-) )

These are my Highschool Sweethear x Mimosa and Dessertbreath x Mimosa seedlings. One of each has strong stem rub smell but the DB x M one ( in front, white pot ) has growing issues im hoping topping will fix:

Just got a new Veg light for my new Cab. Im hoping to snag a couple clone from a friend to fill in space but im still popping more Chuckers pips. Goes without saying :-)

I wouldn’t think that dusting a femmed seed plant that was created by a grower would be as risky as pollinating a female from high priced bagseed, say from a Dead concert or some such thing. The bagseed probably came from a mom with genetic intersex tendencies without stressing or being treated chemically. Discuss.

Bk took the best to the silver, chunk has some sac but not as many, more every day. The gorilla bomb is simply in there to catch pollen.

And future projects
