I was pouring a bag of Alaska fish fertilizer and the whole bag dumped out. I have never burned a plant with this fertilizer ever before. I just figured it would be fine and would have an abundance of food for the remainder of its life. WRONG!

I think they may have spiked the formula with some salts. I actually grew a plant in a 1 gallon pot filled with 100% of this in the past just to test it. Why do they always bait and switch with products?

6/6 California Cannon F2s up in red Solos.

3 Sleeskunk F2s from Indica mother, 2 average size with buds getting fat b the he day at 62 days. Short bushy with fat buds for thei4 size. Got a runty one but I dropped at up pot and damaging roots. Very smelly of spices and fruit. Pretty loud.

3 Copper Chem f3s at 5 days up potted on hopes of girls, pulled 3 boys with balls everywhere.

So those were "(Matanuska thunderfuck x chemalien) x blackberry kush. I pollinated 3 phenos. They were all very similar and I liked all 3 so much that all moms are in there. I have pics of them somewhere. Extremely colorful. They had a great strawberry taste. Wasn't sure why but then I realized Raskal's "fire alien strawberry" is in the mix. Original seeds came from a guy named "snodome" many years ago from another forum. Everything I've ever popped from him has been fire. :)
Nice, that Matanuska thunderfuck is a solid breeder, it's one sturdy plant and makes some really nice crosses, I mixed it into my outdoor strain years ago to get that quick cycle and to have a plant that can take a little more cold than most. I traded a guy up there for the strain when I went up to visit AK in the mid 90's. I picked up another strain up there too but I can't remember what it was called, it wasn't that big of deal and I didn't end up keeping it. But that Matanuska was one THICK plant, WIDE leaves and fast producer, nice stoney buzz too. Not that it was super potent or even super flavorful compared with more modern strains but it was the cat's ass back in the day.

Has anyone had any luck with germing fresh seeds? Like under a week old? I want to sneak a few chucks into this next run but I don’t have time to dry them out beforehand

If you have a ton of them to spare you could try them, you might even get some interesting mutations, but no for the most part you will only have bad luck starting them too soon. But like some people have noticed there are times when you can have luck with seeds right off the plant. I think it's maybe strain dependent but I know for sure that it depends on how early in the cycle the plant got hit with pollen. If the seeds are literally falling off the bud then you actually have a decent chance at getting them to pop early and if you have more than you need it really wouldn't hurt to try.

If you don't have many seeds to spare, than for sure you should wait.

I think one way to look at it is how old the seeds are from the day the plant was pollinated, so the answer is that it kind of depends on how early you polinated and how long you let the plant live.

One time way back in the day I had pollen from my indica garden accidentally hit my Sativas when they were just getting started budding. I had seeds falling down into the pots and germinating, while the plants were busy putting out foxtail after foxtail for another two months.

(That was some stellar breeding project right there, let me tell you, that's how this noob rolled back in the day, just let stuff happen accidentally and if it lives cross it. LOL)

Good to see you around SS. Whatcha working on these days?
Slowly working my way through the williams wonder side of CnC crosses I made last year (red headed stranger and lucinda williams). Revisiting @GroErr 's Blue Ripper, sprouting some nigerian sunshine x granny skunk testers for @SCJedi , smokin the last of my Miel de Regaliz chopped over a year ago just as the new flower room is starting to produce, and hanging out on another site for the most part but this thread always feels like home, the beginning.
