good to know man Its nice to have so many around

Especially you Brick Top with your words of encouragement and your about right with your statement It is a daunting task and there is only three, and I only started with 15 and typically in ideal circumstances I would want about 1,000 females and a 1,000 males to choose from but circumstances have not provided me that just yet. What I do have is three very very different females, pollen preserved from a male that had a lemon aroma, and the hope that circumstances for me will improve. That with the f1s that are created I can cross and find enough genetic variances in the F2's to pin something special down and stabilize it through process of inbreeding and making back crosses.

I may fail but at least I am learning along the way and not making any genetic shortcut's along the way I don't wish to be a collector of fine genetics I want to be someone that can recognize fine genetics and refine them.

All I need to succeed is someone telling me its very likely I wont..

With that being said Brick Top stick around I know you have much to share with me and I hope you will.

Some day I will have something I will share with everyone.

I know but I am making my own anyway as a learning experience. I have nutrients taken care of using organic teas made from Espoma Plant-tone, molasses and honey on occasion to feed the microorganisms in the soil also mixed into my mix is composted horse manure and rabbit poop. My mix consists of Pro mix, Miracle grow organic choice, wood ash, epsom salt a small amount, perlite, vermiculite, native soil, and various Espoma products.

I read somewhere that you cant use Honey as there are ensymes or something that kills the bactiria in the soil (might want to check it out first.
Also be carful using organic teas outside the critters like to dig and look for food
Good Luck to EVERYONE this year

Well that's no good I'll look into it, thank you for the heads up. I'll just go back to plain molasses if that's the case

getting hit by some really hard rain I'm worried about how much damage.........

Crossing my fingers for ya bro! Hope all is well!

Terpenes (pronounced /ˈtɜrpiːn/ TUR-peen) are a large and varied class of hydrocarbons, produced primarily by a wide variety of plants, particularly conifers,[1] though also by some insects such as termites or swallowtail butterflies, which emit terpenes from their osmeterium.
They are the major components of resin, and of turpentine produced from resin. The name "terpene" is derived from the word "turpentine". In addition to their roles as end-products in many organisms, terpenes are major biosynthetic building blocks within nearly every living creature. Steroids, for example, are derivatives of the triterpene squalene.
When terpenes are modified chemically, such as by oxidation or rearrangement of the carbon skeleton, the resulting compounds are generally referred to as terpenoids. Some authors will use the term terpene to include all terpenoids. Terpenoids are also known as isoprenoids.
Terpenes and terpenoids are the primary constituents of the essential oils of many types of plants and flowers. Essential oils are used widely as natural flavor additives for food, as fragrances in perfumery, and in traditional and alternative medicines such as aromatherapy. Synthetic variations and derivatives of natural terpenes and terpenoids also greatly expand the variety of aromas used in perfumery and flavors used in food additives. Vitamin A is an example of a terpene.
Terpenes are released by trees more actively in warmer weather, acting as a natural form of cloud seeding. The clouds reflect sunlight, allowing the forest to regulate its temperature.[2]

i am pretty sure it's just a matter of tuning the turpenoid traits to the desired taste-
but starting from scratch could be a lengthy process

Subbed for shure. Im an out door man my self. i dont even start my seedlings indoors. LOL. I bounce around a lot so im never in one spot to just set up a grow op and keep it going year after year. I started about 6 years ago with my "super indica" i like to call it. I had seeds from a White widow x northern lights mix. and seeds from a buddy with a 3rd Gen Aurora Indica. grew the two, got males and females of both types and cross bred both ways. the next year i had seeds from each, grew them and they all looked pretty much the same and i got seeds form that batch as well and i have been growing them ever sense. it took me a while but it got it done. i wasnt exactly going for the taste i just love the indica high and these are lovely. Im growing on my balcony in Eastern Europe right now i havent started a journal i just post pics on my profile feel free to check them out. here are a few pics. from today they ar about 7 weeks in to vegg. Sorry to ride on your thread but i feel theres just ont enough OD growers left that like to experiment. Good job dude.

Hey Johnny your plants are beautiful.

Sucks to hear about the rain svchop. Hope everything gets through all right. I'm subbed i've been lurking for awhile. Looks great and i like your idea. good luck!

Murfy I like your avatar and thank you very much about the information on terpenes welcome to the thread man, Johnny pot smoker and elfweed welcome to you also. good to have so many with me the energy is good. The plants are fine, life is beautiful and so are they.

Its also good to know I'm not the only one that isn't afraid to do there own thing. Very nice plants there very uniform which leads me to believe you know what your doing. Which make you a valuable asset in this thread.

One issue that did come to rise is I found slugs on my soil by my plants today and what I was wonder is this, would a ring of copper wire around the trunk keep them off of the plant.

Updates tomorrow,... bump.

feels like having all your hope torn up covered and dirt and thrown in your face by nature, what a gigantic bitch slap.

what do you think would happen if i just dropped some seeds in the ground and watered ....come back in a couple months to sex and kill the males. again to collect the bud.

this wouldnt be my bread and butter obv. i play INSIDE, just for a little extra ...ya know?

I tried that last year nothing happened. they were even germinated seeds with 1/4 roots I poked holes and put them in they all died or were eaten, but go ahead and try it whats to loose . thanks for stopping by only a couple of the people I sent links for this thread even showed up, the rest I can only assume they have better things to do than spend two minutes reading and possibly passing on some knowledge or encouragement. But everyone that has come has been encouraging and helpful and basically unexpected surprises I am very grateful for this.

yea ill give it a shot i think. their just bagseed. i got a shit ton.

so you have only one outside right now?

Fuck no way, so the soap pieces didnt help at all to deter the animals?

Nor the mothballs, they helped until all the rain hit and kept the smell out of the air. I still have all three for now I put the one that got dug up back into the dirt it still has roots and it wasn't all wilted so I could make it still. the one that was battered by rain should still pull through Its just missing branches. I also have a fourth that was unmentioned until now because I wasn't going to include it as part of my project. I also have 13 seedling as back ups there still inside for now. My bet is squirrels or raccoons nothing has eaten the plants themselves except some bugs slugs are a problem too.
