Fair enough. Shame though. I would like that explanation if your reading dude, if you don't mind. Hell, I might just go for it some time and plant a few extras and weed the males out. I seen some of his vids on youtube and his strains look sick. Timewreck and jacks cleaner 2.. maybe even plant them together and leave a male and have "jacktime" lol, I guess the bonus of doing that once is having free seeds for a long ass time. All things to consider for the future.

D, I was curious how if you've been defoliating for awhile. I seen a thread about the subject and it seemed to get off subject and turn into a shouting match by an unnamed party. The point is I was curious about the benefits and the disadvantages. How much time after defoliation should you allow for recovery before the flip etc. For that matter how much do you take off? Your girls seemed to respond fast and hard but is this typical?

Thanks D for the putting me on to Weed Nerds. I'm just wondering how I'm going to find time to watch the other 150 episodes lol. Rdr. I've read and almost every major publication you can think of and you're right until you start cruising down that road do you realize the difference between book knowledge and knowledge from trial and error.

No prob buddy. Ive been watching thd weed nerd for like 2 years now.i even went to the cannabis cup in denver to personally thank him for all the free knowledge he puts on the nerd. And ur right trial and error. Hopefully more trials than errors.Keep it green homie..

I'm only on episode 4. Then again, if I can watch all the Sonic 06 episodes by Game Grumps, I can watch this.. Hell, it's easy to "watch" in another tab 'cause all he does is play music, talk, and toke, haha.

Ever think of femming your own beans, D?
Click to expand...
Trust me it worth watching.. i dont like fem beans. Ive grown out about 15 diff fem beans. And let me tell u
That the vigor of a fem bean to a reg seed is mos def noticable. I dont mind picking out the male,plus this
Is the natural order the plant. Marijuana plants dont produce fems, why should i force something tha
Isnt what nature intented. Fem beans are not for me. And please for anyone reading this that doesnt agree.
Remember opinions are like assholes e erybody has one....

Yeah no doubt, but it's not "selling out" to fem some of your strains. Nearly every company does it, even mandala. It's called moving on with the times and catering for a specific market of people like me, who grow very small numbers of plants and would rather not be rolling the dice with males. There's a lot of people like me. Sure I could cram my closet with 6 plants and hope to get 2 fems, but it's still not guaranteed and I could even end up with 5 fems and not have space for all of them. Far more attractive to plant as many females as want to have in there.

That's what it's all about, this idea that it's wrong to do it is a fallacy, for this reason. Those of us who want to create seeds and further the cannabis gene pool, are going to do it anyway and buy reg seeds, so yes offering regs is good, BUT those of us who grow small numbers for bud only and don't want seeds are going to kill the males ANYWAY, so offering fems seeds just saves people who weren't gonna create seeds a lot of hassle..

Up to him though, if he likes money he might consider femming a few strains, because he's famous enough and has some killers strains and he is missing out on a lot of custom.

wouldn't mind seeing a fem , jacks cleaner:weed:

Great points reef. Me personally. Ive bought single fem seeds before and gotten male plants.. talk aboit being pisted off.Not just that but to me in my expiernce i find that reg seeds have more vigor. Once again this is just my educated opinion.
And opinions are like assholes everybody has one. Reef your ladies are lookingmighty fine.. keep it up..

find 1 female, clone as many 100% girls as you like :) it's not saying it's wrong, it's just a difference of philosophy. but like you said, most companies are offering fems anyway... I don't get upset at the companies that offer fems only and no regs. the companies that offer fems only are screwing the customers over (cashing in) a lot more than sub not offering

TGA is more of a collective than a main stream company.but like u i dont get mad. I startedout with fem seeds. Now after all my expiernces. Ill stick to reg TGA beans.

yeah you make good points. It's not really a right or wrong thing, it's a philosophy as you say. That being said, I still feel he could offer a few fems like mandala started to do, no selling out needed, but more profit from people like me who just wanna do it the noob way.

I dont think he will. But u never know...

Yeah well part of the problem is the legal status.. it's not like they have a big warehouse with thousands of plants they're working on... they're limited in how many can be grown at one time and the more you grow the more likely you are to have legal problems... i doubt it's feasible to really offer both kinds of seeds unless you are not limited on your plant count. I don't think sub wants to do fems anyway, just not his thing, but he's always talking about how he barely has time to do things the way he is doing them now... it would be a pretty major undertaking to start producing feminized seeds as well... and don't even ask frenchie what he thinks of feminized seeds i'm not really an expert on the subject in any way but ask him why feminized seeds are bad for the cannabis gene pool and he can give you the explanation :) He was just railing on the guys at greenhouse in the weed nerd thread earlier today about spreading feminized seed genes into landrace strain areas on their strain hunters trips. I've grown a couple of feminized plants myself but I'd just rather do it the old school way :)

Ummmm another touchy subject. I defoliate about every 2 weeks in veg. And i only take off or bend fan leaves that are in the wayof growfh that is needing light to become a top. I try not to defoliat flowering unless there are someleaves blocking some nuggage.its important to rememberthat fan leaves are like solar panels to the plant the absorb light and turn it into energy to perform photosynthesis. Only take off or crimp and bend fan leavesthat are blocking nodes that u want to become tops. Thats my 2 cents on defoliation.its worked great for me as u an see...

I've actually grown a couple of decent fems... i think the vigor depends on the genetics... a lot of breeders the genetics aren't as vigorous as TGA even for the regs. I don't believe fems guarantee you a female, just supposed to be over 90% chance.

I got lucky and started watching right after the nerd got started so never had to catch up on much :) i'd imagine starting now would be pretty staggering! like i said i don't usually learn a lot from them these days as a lot of the info has been covered previously and what not but I still enjoy watching them if only to see sub ranting and being a goof. i've gotten into watching/subscribing to different youtube cannabis vids/channels lately and the weed nerd is still for my money the most enjoyable. Some people are turned off by sub's style and I can see that but that's not my problem :)

I lollipop and take the bottom 1/2 - 2/3 of leaves and budsites off so I try not to take any off the top unless I absolutely have to. I usually just try and push or twist a leaf out of the way up top if needed or tie a branch to move it around if it needs more light. I top a lot in veg and I don't really supercrop but I bend the tips to help shape them I don't get too aggressive though because I've had too many snap. I try to tie the branches down under stress which creates a pretty similar effect to super cropping anyway makes the whole branch below the tie down thick.

Nice journal! It seems like you are going to have a problem whenever it comes to watering that bushiness my friend. I really would get rid of the bottom branches and lower budding sites when you flip them to 12/12 to improve air flow from the bottom to the top of the plants. Best of luck and pacience! I will be watching to see what phenos you get on ace of spades and chernobyl ;) You are bound to get some amazing smoke off querkle for sure!!
