Yea !


I think a few pages back someone said they had issues cloning I have them with woody stem plants all the time

I bought a heat mat from Vivosun and the controller for like 40 bucks and it made a huge difference with beans popping ..theres tons of white hairs shooting all over the rooters it’s like the heat made them explode .. the $40 investment should deff help cloning .. I also keep water on the bottom and let the tops get a tiny but dry to encourage the roots to find water .. then I pour water over the rooter again

I bought a mini tent for males it’s about to be on

Just about any plant will toss some balls if you mess with it enough. If you mess up the light cycle or give the plant stress in other ways they can term hermie. Letting the plant go way past harvest date and messing with the light is a good way to get a plant to produce some pollen. Ethylene is the key to sex expression in weed, anything that reduces or ends ethylene production will produce balls in a female plant. Some plants toss out balls no matter what you do, those are the ones you want to avoid. A lot of the early landrace strains would hermie indoors too, so the genetics are in these plants.



And when it comes to plant incest, it's true that if you cross and recross strains they lose vigor. The most vigorous plants are hybrids. Hybrid vigor, it's called and I think the less related the parents the more vigorous the offspring will be. That's why some people think that we will have to go back to introducing more landraces strains to try and get some of the vigor back. But honestly I'm not noticing lack of vigor in these well bred polyhybrids. I can say this for a fact, I lost vigor in my own strain when I didn't add in new strains to the mix every so often. That could have been my poor breeding but I don't think so. I had plenty of plants to choose from. I think you just lose something by breeding too far down the same line.

Introducing new genetics into a strain line gives it a shot in the arm and probably the less related the better.
thanks, that gives me something to think about.

Spandex Cougar testers: all 6 I dropped popped in coco with zero assistance. One had a mysterious broken stem on day two, I think the neighbor cat snuck in and borked it, but the rest are doing great. They’re going to get a run in coco alongside some Dynasty selections.

Started flowering a GPS Cookies n Chem male in the back yard, my first outdoor plant. He smells amazing, planning to make F2s and a few other chucks.

Wedding Mints from Sin City at about week 7

That 2019 collaboration chuck. Chucked in paradise.

The tangerine power is highly dominant. I'm throwing a couple into flower this weekend.:lol:
That tangerine power male I should have held onto. It does a great job of passing that orange flavor profile.

But I'm thinking I can find just as solid of a male in this cross of yours. Red's SCJ passed on some great structure and buds with that mimosa punch! Best of both worlds.

I never realized it was a collab. I’m hoping for something terpy

Yeah man, both @HydroRed and @thenotsoesoteric were both generous enough to allow me to test some of their earlier work, so I combined a couple of those testers and ended up with what you have in your hands there. This wouldn't be such a paradise if there wasn't so much generosity and I am glad I am able to share that. I hope you find something you can enjoy. :leaf:

2 sets of twins in 9 beans @GroErr 's Blue Ripper bx1s iirc a twin was used when making the f1s.
I saw one suspected after the soak

That set didnt fully separate

So the runt was uprooted

The next day a second set popped

I thought they were conjoined

but they slid right apart.

On another note has anyone seen adverse reaction to polination like reveg?

Observed this and a shut down of frost after pollinating my AT#1 with the dcp f2. It was underfed as well and since correcting frost has come back on and the veggy growth is looking more like a foxtail.

Various Pupil Stardog crosses fems and a couple others, got a pile of regs around too. Should be stocked up for a while, LOL. More than I'll ever need but it sure feels nice anyway. Greedy? Nah just a horder. I'm like the people who lived through the depression and stock too much food, that's me with weed and seeds, I'll probably never get used to it being legal.

Hi all-

I posted this is another thread and got some replies, but thought I'd post it here, since this is a 'chuckers' thread, and chucking is what I'll be doing. This thread seems to be a wealth of information. Admittedly, I haven't waded through too many pages, I'm aware that there is probably info about my question already posted. So be it. Thanks.

I'm an outdoor gardener only. Plants are starting to show sex this week. Getting excited for my plans (below).

My plan, once a few choice males have been identified (EKI Bird and Amnesia Hashplant probably), is to trim them to just a few lower branches and let them adjust for a few days in the garden. Then dig them up, put in smallish pots and bring inside to a makeshift 'flower room' where I will immediately induce 12/12. I will collect and freeze pollen till later in the season to do select branch pollination on all varieties in the garden. Anyone do it this way? Or would it be better to time my indoor 12/12 to coincide with flower time of females to avoid freezing pollen (which is risky?) I know taking clones of my chosen males to flower inside is also an option, but I'm a rookie at cloning cannabis (can do tomatoes fine though).


I love this time of year.

You could just let them get very close to the pollen sacs opening and take cuts to “pop” indoors for collection and directed/protected pollination. The process of flowering and popping open takes several weeks, you will have 1 or 2 start to open (no pollen yet) even just before they all start to go, that’s the time! Take the cuts, let them flower in a cup of water. Then no storage is required and you do have time to take them down before they seed everything.

This is great, thanks! Sounds much simpler than either of this ideas I pitched.

An unrooted cut, in water, under 12/12 will live long enough to drop viable pollen? Is that what I'm reading here?

That's what I do. A couple flowering snips on the sill.

Great, thanks for the pic, the tin foil catcher is a great idea. This seems totally do-able. You don't even have them under a 12/12, just ambient windowsill light, huh? I guess once they start to flower in the garden, they'll continue with it inside won't they?

Another follow-up question. When the pollen begins to drop on that tin foil, does it need to be used ASAP? I know moisture will neutralize pollen, so I'm guessing yes.

Thanks for your responses @JohnGlennsGarden and @colocowboy

Much obliged.

Fruity peebles og f2 mâle (jaws seeds) x slurricane fem (in house genetics)

Around 4 weeks ,little one got an overpowering sweet strawberry Smell like dad , the other the same Smell and structure then mom , i just tried them To see if i could have something Nice outdoor only for making hash ,feel like i Will need To make them go To f2
