I'm not sure what buy again is? Got it now lol delayed reaction. Your buy again list. I was thinking auction. They have everything they've ever had available. Some don't come to auction as much as others. SSH is a favorite. That one will always have bidders. Rock n roll series auctions less often and when available the auctions are longer than others. I haven't tried G13/skunk yet. My frig is full of seeds. So I won't be buying for a long time.
I just looked. They are offering a SSH autumn cleaning. THATS 1 GRAM OF VIABLE SEEDS. In case you were wondering that's about 90 seeds. That's equal to the advertised quantity of 4 packs of seeds. It's at 79 euros now. That's about half the price of 1 pack. The auction ends in just over a day. If I didn't already have this I'd be bidding myself.
Jeez there's also an autumn cleaning of G13/skunk. That's 70-75 seeds and 46 euros now.
i had the g13 x skunk, it was one of the frostiest, best yielding sog plant i ever had.. very strong and does not stress for nothing, i put it thru hell moving, light leaks, dryed out , still great plant... way,way better than shit or criticle massJeez there's also an autumn cleaning of G13/skunk. That's 70-75 seeds and 46 euros now.
I've got more than enough seeds for the next year probably 3. I won't be bidding anytime soon. But you can see my first instinct is to buy. lol
goldberg71, how many strains do you have? are you a hoarder? how the hell has buying seeds become an addiction? my wife is soooo angry with me, i have more strains than i could ever possibly grow.. i have a fridge in the basement just for seeds, a full size fridge.lol. im not sure exactly but im guessing 100 strains minimum,,then i have a binder that i keep all the strains in seperated by true breeding ,indica,sativa, indica dom and sativa dominant.. i let my patients go through the binder and pick strains once in a wile,, thats how i ended up running 15 different mothers.. how do i stop buying these damn things????
No one tells me what to do. That might very well be why I'm single. My problem is 2 fold. I can't see going through the process of ordering seeds only to get one strain. I usually buy on the auctions so I'm getting awesome prices or I wait. When I'm picking up strains for 20 euros and a few less than that. It's easy to place an order with 6 strains or so. So after a few times suddenly you realize how long it will take to go threw them all. I haven't done any crosses yet. I've done a dry run of reversing several females with CSILVER. I've done another dry run and stored the pollen. That failed when I went to use it I got no seeds. I'm not sure if it was in the freezer to long because I didn't write down the dates. Or there's a coupe other things I could have had a problem with. But I've learned how I'm going to approach it. I'm going to reverse 1 strain at a time and have small plants just for seed one of the reversed female for S1s and any other strain I want it crossed with. Then I'll put the in a separate tent with the exhaust out the window and I'll let the fan a nature take its course. I was planning on and tried to practice pollinating lower branches and labeling each branch. I allow my plants to flower a bit longer than most people so I do get the occasional fem seeds. I've labeled them all and have them in the frig also. I don't count them in my count. I probably won't use them myself. But I start a few each spring and I give them to a friend. They put them outside and he's been getting great results. This year it's all "shit". I picked up a cheap pack of devil for him to try next year. I love the red colors in it but the rap is it's much better outside. So I'm going to sex them and send the females outside. Then I'm hoping to pollinate the best looking ones with some pollen from my favs. I'm hoping to bring some of the color into it. Plus assuming it goes good. I'll give him some form of the created seeds to run the following year. It will give me something else to think about and experiment with. But my goal is to get some of the reddish colors into something that does well inside. I'm hope a cross with "shit" will do it. I've read that skunk is one of the better strains to combine with and keep many of the other strains traits? Im hoping it's true!
I've found something nice in each pack for that strain. But certain strains I prefer more than others. That doesn't mean another strains keeper isn't a real winner. The problem with "real" winners is -->you'll always have a special or favorite strains. The rest goes and trust me I get rave reviews on it all. So "winners" are in the eye of the beholder. So when I was rotating/juggling 15 kinds 3 or so caught my attention. But that's a preference thing. There's only so much you can use. I've said this before I can't smoke mango haze because for some reason I can't stand the taste. Therefore I let it go. I still get asked when I'm going to do it again. Because there's a handful of people who can't wait for more. But I was trying to limit myself and that was an easy one for me to let go. Does that mean the keeper was less of a "winner" or I'm a snob and it didn't meet my tastes?
ive had problems with male pollen staying viable too. i think 3-4 months is the longest ive gotten it to last and thats in a sealed packet with silica to prevent moisture,, but it still doesnt stay viable long.. i dont count my crosses either, id say i have roughly 100 different crosses and stabilized strains i created..then at least 100 store bought strains.. i worked for 2 years on a shit female pollenated by a bcbd fire og bx3 male,, after the initial cross i planted 30 seeds and kept a really nice male and my fav fem and backcrossed 4 times always planting 20-30 seeds and only keeping the best females to cross with that male..i finally have a stable cross we are calling the fire shit..everyone really loves it, its got the yield and finish time of the shit and the taste and crystal production of the fire og..i would put it up against most store bought seeds and it would probably win.. i had it tested and the thc was at 24% with a cbd of 1.86% its a really indica couchlock high...i wish i knew how to get a strain recognised,, but up here in northern michigan,, its one of the best strains going around,,a few people got lucky and found a seed or 2 so now there are 3 people i know of selling MY STRAIN!!.. That pisses me off,,i spent alot of time getting her the way i wanted,,uniform and devistating...
Welcome to the Wild Wild West. I pull any rare seed out for that reason. But there's nothing you can do about. Although I would hope it wasn't my friends that did it.
i have nl5xafghan and ortega but havnt planted, id like to hear on those too.. the g13xskunk, i have run, i planted 5 seeds,4 popped, and 3 came up, all 3 wer females and all wer damn near identicle.. i vegged them for 2 months before taking clones, short,very close nodes, very skunky smell, very wide indica style 9 fingered leaves, a very nice and compact x=mass tree shape,branchy..once flowered very smelly of skunky hash oily,smell coated in crystals, big calyxs, thin,but lots of hairs, a bit leafy buds, trimming sucked, but overall a really good sog strain, probably would have been far better in a scrog set up.. grown under mh in veg and hps in flower but did not stretch much, a 2ft mother finished at 3ft, wile clones rooted with 2 weeks of veg probably a ft tall finished around 2ft,but more of a single cola, not x-mass like the original mom's...
that looks to be a real good bulb, ive run hps,mh and both also and feel that the best yields and buds wer under 2 600 watt hps and 1 600 watt mh so the 2 to 1 thing...im now trying the cdl lamps but have plans to do tests over the next 3 or 4 runs the only diference being the light and lamps used..im going to cover a 1k hps, 2 315 cdl's and 1 400 watt hps, and 3 315 cdls all around a thousand watts over a 4x6 table.. im a long way from results, but it should be interesting...Well I got my new bulbs that I'm going to try this next go. I started with MH veg and at the flip moved to HPS. Then I evolved to MH through the stretch and start of flower development. Now I'm going to try this new FULL NOVA bulb from sunmaster. As I've mentioned I've realized there wasn't enough "blue" light early in veg. but all I could do is switch between MH and HPS. Since I have 4 hoods in 1 room I've thought about doing 2 MH and 2 HPS and rotating the plants daily. But that's to much work. Rotating each pot where it sits is enough work in that department for me. So I've found this FULL NOVA bulb from sunmaster. I think it's just what the doctor ordered. I'm going to post pictures of the spectrum of light both give off. I'm expecting them to work much better and I think I'm going to wind up using these bulbs for the whole grow from now on.
FULL NOVA-the black line that runs across the spectrum shows the VISIBLE light that a plant sees. See how full that area is below the black line.

HPS I was using ---> see all that space under the black line with no light present?

As you can see not only is there tons more blues but there's also a lot more reds!! I know I'm giving up a little yellow but I'm gaining so much in other areas I'm not concerned about it.
