Very early in cure. Could have used a little more time I think, but I wanted the space. That tends to happen to the last ones to mature I'm afraid.

yeah any plant that i have that takes too long and is not to my liking ends up as bho.

It takes about 2-4 years to truly stabilize specific genetics's maybe longer, not to mention how much space it would take. Generally inbred depression could be over come thru selection. Also save previous generations for future use.

I'm not worrying about stabilizing anything yet, I'm still trying to get the right stuff piled up to start sorting though.

I'm in no rush. I figure I'm going to be growing for the next umpteen years anyway, so why not?

absolutely its just a matter of time selection and generations.

hey grubs, do u keep the left over beans from diff gens (F1,F2,F3) so that if u run

into inbred depression, or lose a trait that you whould want you can go back and

find it??? im very worried that i mite lose a trait/s so i make and keep more beans

that i need just for this...and wanted to know if this is a comin thing to do or is

theres a eazer way other then cloneing & keeping??....

I keep well labeled seed samples of everything, and I try to keep clones of the two best females for at least one generation after them. Never know when I might need to take a step back, or if something shows that I want to reenforce. Since I bought the original seeds, I don't want to put all my eggs in one basket, by saving seeds from each step if something goes wrong I can go back and pick up from there instead of going all the way back to scratch.

Hi ya grubs .. thought you might like to check these out

Way cool Roland, what did you take the close ups with? Looks like it has a much better DOF than mine.

It's the microscope ..... Man .... what a find .... $ 175.00 .on Craig's list ........

10x to 70x Zoom .. steroscope (2 eyepieces ...... Bausch &Lomb ... with a light

then I took my camera and held it to the eyepiece ... some pic's are good ..haha .. a lot ....... not as good.

The other photos .. I just play with different settings on my Camera and keep the good ones and throw out the others.

The Camera is Vivatar 5.0 Mp ... not top of the line ... haha not even mid high .. but does the job ........ I been thinkin' about gettting a new

Camera for quite a while .... still not sure what I REALLY want ... more Mp and close up potential I guess

Score on the microscope. Sounds sweet!

If there is anyone in the UK that reads Urban Garden Magazine, there is an article on recordkeeping in this issue by an AHEM, close personal friend.
Has anyone read it? What did you think?

I have a plant that has come out with whorled phyllotaxy. The three node instead of two node thing. Anyone know anything about it? It is on a male plant, but most of what I can find on it sounds like BS and guesses. It is supposed to be a breedable trait, but would you want to? One book says some forms of it may be sex linked, which would be way cool, but I find doubtful because a variety you could sex by veg growth wouldn't be a secret. I'm not above trying anyway, but was looking for input.
