supppp

So I ordered some of the mendo purps from bcbuddepot.com. I planted 3 and got 3 moms(yay!). I noticed very different things In all three plants.

One shot out of a cannon and has been the supermom(on the right). Nice pretty buds. Huge 10" cola growing at the top.

One grew with a, what appeared as corkscrew in the stem, very twisted, but very tall(on the left). This one has wispy buds and sparsely spaced nodes. I have trimmed off all of the ugly bottom scruff. It has buds around the top but they are not dense at all.

And Finally one grew slowly but beautifully, about half as tall as the supermom, but a very tight dense uber trichome smothered cola... shes all cola...

So my question remains this. Is this natural tendency? Is the one on the far left gonna yield me anything down the road? Should I chop her bitchass down so she quits sucking up my nutes? What with the corscrewing effect on the stem at initial growth?

The problem with "pure" breeding anything for particular traits is that other things tend to get in the mix. Pure bred dogs very commonly have problems that natural selection weeds out.Could be kind of the same thing.

breeders have to keep there work from being stolen so they cross the plants leaveing the seeds to come out different traits..otherwise any joe smoe can make IBL seeds and sell them as his.. this way if they want to steal his work its going to be harder, ya dig?...meangreen.

inproper back breeding to get stable strain. To get a tru strain not hijacked lol u must have male and female of both the strains u want to cross, then u cross the male and female 10 times to get stable cross then you will have male and female seeds that are the same color yield smell etc. Then you get the new strain uwant to cross it with and you do the same back breding it 10 times until that set of seeds gives you that stable strain. then you mix the 2 and back breed them for 10 more cycles and you will have a true new strain with no variations all same yield smell and look. There are very few breeders who do just that, arjan is one of them.

A lot of the Canadian seedbanks have good genetics, it seems that occasionally they don't come through to the US. For the most part I am hearing good news about BCBD (Hight Times is prolly like "Okay bitches, now that we have you in our magazines you need to quit ripping ppl off") lol.

Just ordered from bcbuddepot spur of the moment tonight to try the blacks strain. Nobody really liking there delivery/non-delivery it seems. Is the problem being with sending them to US customers??? If so this shouldn't be a problem for me where I am. I will try to post my results if/when my seeds arrive. Anyone try the blacks strain yet??? I was going to order the purps but cheaped out this time.
