I'd say they do not test for hermies properly.

hey Ninja, I am glad for your answer. just tell me why do you hold that opinion, surely you must have reasons to hold it. If your reasons are better than mine reasons, I am changing opinion. Is all.

Thank you ninja mech, cool post. I guess I could nitpick a point or two, but I do not think we would find ourselves in severe disagreements, rather, what I find the point of this debate: Proper feminization method means taking strain A and first testing it for hermafroditism. Now you have a...

hey @imasour its kinda pointless to argue the benefits of technologies we cannot use. Academic biology work is the basic stuff to digest, no doubt, but you need plant specific info. Noone with a title has that on MJ. Meanwhile, I guess the problem is that all the knowledgable guys keep away...

hey guys, I am bitching about the state of the debate, but the truth is, that when push comes to shove and I download a real book about breeding quantitative traits, that is full of math - and I mean full, I am simply lazy to devote the time to digest it properly. Still though, I do not think I...

hey imasour That is kinda what the profesional breeders say they are doing. As far as I know, accomplished canna breeders are all about experiences, I was never able to understand what exactly they are doing and why is it good from their explanations. I am a beginner, not an expert. I am lost...

hey imasourdfriend, I think inbreeding animals is more dangerous, firstly cause animals are strict outcrossers and thus should have bigger load of minor deleterious recesives, but mostly simply because animals can suffer. Basically, whatever you do to plants, its all good, as long as you keep...

also - I will give here a legitimate situation to use backcrossing, I do not think I heard one on the forums. You have a great strain you love. At one season you notice weird pest damage. The next season all the plants are gone and there is just a pile of fat happy bugs you do not know. You...

hey Ninja I agree with most things you write and most certainly with the core belief, that seeds are important and should be protected and cherished beyond their direct short term usefullnes. We need the diversity, no doubt about that. Good thing the heritage strains are still available where...

lets stick to topic. heres a recent topic on backcrossing: https://www.rollitup.org/breeders-paradise/766029-lets-talk-about-how-harness-2.html @Ninja I get all the stuff you are saying, but I can not agree. Claiming that all advanced breeding methods spoil the genepool without a proper...

I wonder about this feminized male issue too. Anyways, I personally think that at the bottom of the feminized matter, we really do not know yet if it is completelly safe and as always at such times people divide into groups of optimists and conservatives and one group tries the new stuff while...

@tusseltussel Sry, english is not my first language, I do not really understand. What exactly could damage your pure line (what is that) if you introduced what to what in which way?

@blf: again and again I have read, that the proper way to feminize is first to stress the shit out of your girls by erratic light periods for so long, that any possible hermies will show up and use the rest, the "true females" for feminization. Also this is the first time I heard that for sex...

why do you think so, scoobydude?

the seeds will be completelly regular, some breeders feel though, that working with feminized is not optimal. I have not heard a reason why. I recomend this: https://www.rollitup.org/breeders-paradise/781405-subcool-mzjil-ken-estes-lawrence.html I think that all of them somehow agree, that...

@greywind: I doubt anyone sells IBLs. IBLs are for breeders and not for growers as far as I know. @greensanta what you indicated is a good strategy, but the Bx seeds will resemble the recurent genotype, not phenotype and since it is a cross, it will be a mess. Selfing and stabilizing the loved...

come on guys, we should get to the bottom of this. When I said there is hardly any use to backcrossing, that is not very precise, when I think about it. Most autoflowering crossing will be prolly backcrossing. Experienced breeders will have favorite strains that they would like to maintain as...

I am no proffesional, do not take this as an attack, I would just like to learn a bit. Imho backcrossing does not amount to inbreeding. Its purpose is transmitting a limited set of traits from donor pool to recurent. That is all. Regarding stability, you cannot get more stable than your...

beautifull. I will go through that journal when i have more free time. Thank you very much.

thx chronikool. Do the chips work all right? Any way to know what spectrum they put out before, or after purchase? How much better are those crees? Noticably better effectivity? What spectrum did you run? I looked at your sign links, but the grow isn't there, right?
