If I find a nice male I'll hook some pollen your way if you like. Prob won't run them for a bit though. Wanna sort out some COB panels first.
Ibl have there disadvantages too. For example they lack the vigor that polyhybrids have. but yes, should be more consistant.
Monster cookies is forum x gdp. So in any of these crosses only 1/4 of the genetics are actually cookies. They probably use the male to add yield like akhiym said. Also densining the bud. It should be a good male considering the cross just about everything to it.
The Monster Cookies in the cross is Platinum GSC x Yeti f1. I think your talking about Cookie Monster but yea not gonna be Cookie dom like kgp said. And I agree with you about IBL. They don't have the vigor like polyhybrids but for someone who's looking for consistent phenos then that would be best bet or a BX
That's not a true herm bro just looks like it may have thrown a couple balls. I had those on my Platinum Delights but they didn't have any immature seeds on them. Long as there's not balls growing out of the the buds completely you should be fine to pick them off and keep going. Looks like a stressor may have caused that. Too much nutes, aggressive training, high temps, low light levels can cause that so just check your conditions and his you feed. But I say keep going. I never let a few end my run unless they're full blown herms like this
They can be crazy hard to find..like if its just 2 pollen sacks and they're under a bud or something you'll probably not find them until you're trimming. Depending on how the rest of the run goes, it may be worth rerunning her as it mighta been a moment of stress like too hot or even too bigger difference between day and night temperature etc. She certainly sounds good in your description.
if it's very important like remembering these strains and how they grow and what they like I store it like a computer if it's not relevant shits goes out immediately yea seeing a few herms on different crosses and I'm really not liking that at all plus the Stardawg crosses were pulled way to damn early and germ rates a very low. People getting pale green seeds and even white seeds smdh. It's sad but doesn't suprise me as tbh none of these crosses should be sold one bit until testing is over. Not shitting on the breeder at all as I know he's trying to give people good genetics but these should've been throughly tested by him first then sent to people like us to test then sold off great reports. Hopefully the 2nd run will be better for you
Ain't that the truth dude, but seriously, if I get two different phenotype females per 10 pack of seeds? Not bad at all. I can see the bad stuff happening but just like you said, we as humans want physical proof, and that is what I am attempting that's why I am germing the greenpoint seeds first before I even continue my collection. This is why I want standards sometimes but I hate the thought of big government in our lives, so idk. Oh well, I picked as much as I could and they are beautiful regardless so on with the show!Yea I know what you mean bro. Could've been that as like you said the other pheno is doing fine. It's def a lot of work when your running lots of strains cus like you said they all like different stuff at different amounts. That's why its really best to focus on once strain and run it a few times to see if that's something you really like dial it in good then go from there but as humans we like a lot of variety and stuff and I can't blame no one for growing lots of flavors. But it's def much harder growing them from seed and never have grown them so just keep doing what your doing bro take notes if you can. I would love to but just too scared to keep stuff like that around. My memory is crazy good even tho I smoke madly
Yeah nothing too serious, I picked them all off and only like 2 had tiny immature seeds and there were like 3 others but they didn't have anything in them. Yeah they are starting to put on weight now, I can't wait to try them out haha
Man you don't know how many people have scrapped runs because of one or two balls smh. I think it's stupid unless it's full blown herm but one or two balls is nothing to me. I can't blame a person for wanting to run something that doesn't throw sacks but making that decision off one run from seed I won't do. Have to be at least 3rd run before I scrap the strain or pheno.
Too right, and it seems to me like a lot of the more well-known strains COME from Hermies or bag seed or are hermies and slightly unstable.
You now def right about that. Helluva coinkidink but that trait is in all cannabis stable or not and if right stress is caused can make any of them do this.
Yep, and I think that right there is why the new poly hybrids and complex crosses that are being created nowadays are so picky and can be extremely fussy. GSC and Sour D are two strains I can think of that are supposed to be super unstable clones and will throw nanners at the drop of a hat
Cherry Pie, OG and others too. But it damn sure doesn't stop me from wanting to have them and run them. Treat em with the proper love and they won't even throw the sacks
Pretty sure this is literally how it is though. Like there's two ends of the spectrum. One side has more distinct male and female, thick, very strong stems, lower thc etc. This is hemp and then on the other side of is what we're looking for...somewhat viney, weak stemmed, stanky, hermi prone, high THC and CBD etc. You can certainly breed for good characteristics..but it seems that the fussy weak strains are the most potent generally.
