Yeah, I'm just curious why you're growing twenty at once.

Usually if someone is pheno hunting, they'll pop a handful of seeds, weed out the males (if they don't intend on breeding) clone the females, and grow out the clones so they can preserve a pheno they like.

If you're doing that with 20 plants, I'm very interested in seeing how you go about it.

I grew 24 plants at a time for many years, and just got done with a large pheno hunt.

Make bonsai mothers and then toss the ones you don't want after the harvest. It's a bit of a pain maintenance wise, but it saves you from a bunch of needless cycles of hunting.

How long have you been growing? It doesn't sound like very long.

For $20 a seed you shouldn't have to pop 20 seeds to find a keeper. I've never paid that much for a seed in my entire life and never will. I don't know where some of you come up with all this pheno hunting stuff. If a strain is bred properly it's going to be stable meaning that there will be little variation from seed to seed. It should be as advertised not all over the map like a pollen chuck. As for best strain of the year says who?

You should have put this in the Grow Journal section not the Advanced section.

You aren't pheno hunting, you're just picking a mother. Some of us enjoy owning unique strains. I'm not sure why that's so hard for you to understand.

I don't find anything hard to understand. In the first post the OP says they're popping 20 seeds hoping to find a keeper pheno. That's pheno hunting.

Also, what's unique about today's polyhybrids?

I'm meant choosing from a group of identical plants isn't really pheno hunting.

Terpenes would be number one. "Bag" appeal is another. I occasionally grow a pheno of Cannarado's Upside Down Frown because it's really pretty in flower. The smoke is good, but no one puffing even knows about its pretty rolled pink leaves. The rolled leaves seems to be a trait of Zawtz, but Zawtz F1 doesn't add the pink. That comes from the Grumpz.

Thank you sir I didn’t notice the error.

Why would you do that?

I can already see almost all twenty have broken ground Things will get very exciting soon!

What's your plans for pheno hunting them?

How are you going about keeping genetics from each plant until you've flowered, dried and smoked a tester from each one?

I'm blazed on the most potent wedding cake this morning. It even makes the back of your throat tingle, just like wedding cake frosting!

Coming up with crazy idea's today already.

What if each seed, with it's unique geometry contained inside, resonated at different frequencies?

What if you could drop a bag of a hundred seeds onto a chladni plate, and generate certain tones, and make the different seeds with whatever pheno types (or even male/females) congregate towards the different cymatic standing wave patterns. As in, you just turn the dial until only the kind of seeds you want get sorted out before your very eyes, without even having to grow them.

I'm too stoned to explain exactly, but i'll be back later on that after I figure out what I'm even talking about. :eyesmoke:

I will be cloning all of them and flowering the clones. I’m not sure what is so hard for everyone to understand I’ve done this a million times. It’s called a pheno hunt.

No one suggested it's hard to do but there's many ways to do it.

You say you're cloning all of them then flowering the clones?

I've not done it a million times like you I'm only looking for tips.
Why not flower the original plants?
