Humboldt Seed Organisation, anyone try their seeds?

"F1 hybrids:

When the S2 plants were mutually crossed all F1 plants examined contained CBD and THC in considerable amounts, and no pure chemotypes were found."


According to this I am correct in my assumption of crossing S generations to produce F generations.
And F1 inbred Hybrids exist. They have been made before.

That is a good link and is the type of information that scares the piss out of people and discourages them from getting into breeding...LMAO. Good read STEW!!

Oh...and your assumption is not a assumption...it is in fact A FACT!!! Keep on trucking brody!!

Thought so. Thank you... I'm continuing to research I have come across IBL... I never really bothered to look it up until today.

I can't create an IBL using only fem seeds though can I?

I can with all my GDP crosses though. Regardless of the number of generations needed to get uniform growth.

Correct...you cannot work an IBL with fem seeds only. You need regular seeds to do that...whether its a cross or a F2 ...as long as its regular seed. Its quite detailed, gets expensive, requires perserverence and takes time to stabelize a cross at which point if you have acomplished all those things it becomes a strain. Yes....you can do it with your GDP crosses....see the difference...your GDP crosses are regular F1 hybreed seeds.

I think I am gonna get a pack of DJ Short's Blueberry to find a male to add to this.. I know it will throw all the traits around. and take WAY longer to accomplish. But FUCK IT! lol..


The GDP crosses I will either keep them going for an IBL.
OR
I will hit some of the F1's with GDP again
(Keeping an F1 clone of each in veg for future BXing)
Inbreed to F4-F5 and BX to the F1(Recurrent parent).


If it don't work then Oh well lesson learned. haha.

Way to take over a thread guys.

YES. I am sorry for that everyone interested in the site. Please disregard my rambling and blabber.


I will unsub so I don't do this again

Be back next grow with 6(or more) strains to discuss.

Looks like you guys running their BD are having excellent luck. It was a toss up between Bubba Kush and Green Crack from the Attitude promo back in October. Just put Green Crack in soil today.

My Bubba Kush has been in for a week and looks pretty good.

Let us know how that works out, I also had a toss up btw the two but I ended up putting in the bubba 3-4 days ago

No need for a toss up(In my situation)
Next month I am popping

Bubba Kush
Amherst Sour Diesel
Desert Diesel
Green Crack
Trainwreck
Lost Coast OG


I'm also looking into getting me some Regular HSO beans by next month too..


Pineapple Skunk
Sour Blueberry
and Sour Diesel #2.

I'm very curious about the Green Crack, I thought it was a version (clone only to ceed) from Sickmedseeds. Any info about GC?

I got one of them too. SMS Green Crack BEFORE the release of the HSO version..

HSO says
One of California's most famous cash crops has now become a global icon.
HSO is proud to introduce this elite selection, branded with the classic Skunk#1 x a pure isolated Afghani. The exquisite sweet mango essence is one of the most important features of this strain. The other main feature is, it produces more than most strains. Grows vigorously and flowers quickly and profusely. Multiple bud sites allow for a huge yield, making her a queen cash cropper.


So I can assume they Just crossed for their own version or they are S2 seeds.

I'll show the difference next year when I am running them both.

Ok...some advice for you then...K During this stage you DO NOT NEED NUTRIENTS!!!! What kind of soil did you start it in? Let me know...I can give you some feed back. I want that baby to make it!

Ya no nutes! I wrote that on my forehead so I see it in the mirror everyday!!
She looks pretty good moved her 2 days ago from the cup to a three gallon smartpot that has 2 FF happy frog + 2 Promix + 1 perlite, was using just FF happy frog but that was a bit hot it seemed. here she is yesterday at 10 days.

Thats perfect...I use FF happy frog to start all my ceeds and actually run them in that medium until pre flower Without any feeding. That medium has enough to get you into the veg period. Cannabis benefits from re-potting about every 15-20 days or so. I start them in dixy cups and let them fill the cup with a good root system...takes about 15-20 days then move them into a one gallon pot and leave them there for another 20 to 30 days....usually by then they are showing preflowers and I am able to sex at which point they go into 3 or 5 gallon containers using FF ocean forest or whatever medium they will stay in for the duration.


Its looking good.....I dont know why people get all worked up about thinking that they need to feed....usually thats when things take a turn for the worst. Eventually the plant will use up all the nuts the medium has to offer and you will need to feed but thats not for a while....so as long as she is growing and looking nice and green like she is right now...your ok!! Whats the water you are using? Tap....private well??? have you tested the ph levels of your water? You may need to adjust the ph levels of your water.

I recently popped my 2 reg freebies from the tude, both are similar, they are youngins yet, maybe 3 weeks old. Not much to report besibes the similarity and good germ rate.

CK

Hey Bear Country, I am using aged, carbon filtered water Ph 6.7. Comes out of the tap at 7.7 or so and I use Ph down to bring it to 6.7.
Todays pic!
