I have been growing for some time, and I've grown maybe , 20 strains. I can't figure out how everyone has the time to grow so many strains, and have under your belt say 40 strains in a few years. Does anybody find a plant and keep growing it for awhile, like if it is really good?. I keep going back a lot to the same plants, and grow strains that are keepers in my mind. I mix it up, but along with the new variety, I usually toss in a plant that I have found to be exceptional. The plant I am growing again for like the 8th time is White Widow and tossing in Chronic, White Russian, and THC Bomb. I know already THC bomb I will plant again, because it grows unbelievably well. So, does anybody always grow the same strain, time and time, again. Peace

Oh, yeah, I've seen that one. Thanks.

And yeah, I will run the same things again. I am running the SP females and Extrema again for the 3rd time and will continue to run it. In the past I've run Romulan for extended periods. But it's too level headed for me. Great smoke. Not enough paranoia for my tastes.

I think I'll probably pop the Destroyer.

I buy beans at times for crosses and to grow and breed my own stuff occassionally,breeding yure own creation much better than buyin them all the time.

i cant imagine a commercial grower would advocate less crops per year.

im still trying to imagine where dude is at growing olives, cranberries, bee farming, rose bush growing for florists, blah blah blah.
picking the tops off everything & leafing out his nuggets :-)

has to be out west.
better longer growing season place.

from experience, pick all your tops. slows everything down major.

me personally i think nugbucket does a 100x better job ! ... with a true original method and good theory behind his motivation.
& even he notes mainlining slows shit down.
= less harvest per year.

tell me what is better... 5 harvests or 6 per year?

I remember hearing you say you were not a fan of the seed biz.. what's available and such.
What is it? The "mutt" state of todays hybrids? Breeding practices?

I bought seeds 17 years ago as a member of ADPC, the first Usenet network discussing pot growing. We (the members) had the very first link to seeds from the Dam from a guy named Jock. I started with the old stuff, NW genetics piped to the Dam from the NW U.S.A. Stuff like Sensi Skunk (which I got routed from a distributor in Sweden to the U.S.), Posi. Jack Herer, Haze. That's during the days when the real, old timey genetics came about, mainly from the breeding efforts of the NW hippies and Cali gene collectors like Sam the Skunkman - Haze, Skunk #1, Shiva Skunk, JH, Northern Lights #1, Kush. Got beans from many other breeders over a period of like 2 years (Sag, TFD, Bros. Grimm) and did a helluva lot of crossing. After literally mailing out a 1,000 to friends, I still have my own stock. I have rare stuff like Bros. Grimm In/Out Mix. NO ONE has those precious old genetics done by cubing and such. Ron at Heaven's Stairway sold me 20 at a buck a piece. They were strays mixed up on the sorting table from Sly and Soul....predecessors to and including C99, Princess....you may know the story.

It just simply amazes me how folks will fall for basically nothing more than a story and a cute name. As much as these mutts have been interbred since those early days, there can't be anything new coming out. Eh?

Check out the way Jock would ship, in foam with a greeting note! First photo is the front, 2nd the back with Eva's greeting, 3rd the label covering the seeds which were buried in a dug out channel, part of that strip in photo 1 & 2. When I first opened it up I thought it was a joke. Had to write Jock via ADPC to even find the beans! THAT was security folks....done the old fashion (and very time consuming) way. ;)

Jock had a sense of humor. He was as slow as Xmas so when I FINALLY got this card....I about fell over in laughter (front of card).
