Shout out from SOCO! Good luck fellas! I like the name, 14er, that's clutch. Do you have high altitude specific strains and what is the altitude you grow at? I found things really get crazy above 7000.

@danknugg I have an oldschool Afghan that has been bred and grown over 8000 for the last 30 years. Classic Afghani. Bid and fairly fast. I personally have not seen the thing at those elevations but it has worked for 30 years. I do have plans in the coming months to look into these and begin a outdoor seed line. Targeted at us here in CO. If it works here it should be good most places.

Peace

Cool that sounds good to me I would like to grow it out next year or possibly even this winter.

I have spent years working on just 1 strain. It always amazes me when something new pops up and they have like 100 different strains. How is that even possible?

Find good males and hit good strains.

What has been your project?

I'm excited to try something new and from our community. Particularly from our members. Good genetics don't just come from bean banks.

The strain I have been working on the longest is a cross between Killing Fields and Plushberry. Each time I grow out a new generation, I find traits that I want to capture and continue breeding them. I have been working with a Tahoe/Goji cross for about 6 months now. I am on my 3rd generation with it. Working to get a pure Berry Pinesol pheno. I get them about 1 out of 5 at this point and it is a very low yielder. Working on stabilizing that pheno and adding some yield to it.

So are you not able to consistently capture traits? 6 months isn't very long, and would really be only one generation, maybe two.

You are working with poly hybrids, so that's an issue right there. Perhaps you need to find a different papa foe your project. I plan on working on SSDD but I won't be doing that until next year when I have more space. For now, I'm keeping notes on strains, growing males right before they pop sacs to get an idea of what to expect and what physical traits are present.

Did I mention notes? I basically have a journal with notes about each plant/strain I grow. It helps me identify what I'd like to find in a male, or search for more desirable females

Yeah, but no, After several years of Killing Fields/Plushberry it is really stable. I just tend to over do it sometimes. It is actually the most requested strain I have. People love the buzz from it, relaxing and awakening at the same time.

The Tahoe/Goji is on it's 3rd generation right now. I just kicked them into flower Tuesday. I run several grow areas, so I am not limited to 3 month cycles. I harvest around every 4 weeks.

Actually, no, I don't over-do it. I just know what I want from it and will continue until it is uniform, how I want. As of right now, I have two main phenos from "ladykiller". Right now if you grow 10 plants, 8 of them will be around 3 ft tall with a very good yield. 2 of them will be runtier plants.
Of the 8 you will get around 4 that is what I want. Good yield, beautiful colors, plushberry taste with the killing fields sativa buzz. The other 4 will be a bit hit and miss. I want that ratio to be much better before I call it a done strain. I like the breeders who sale seeds that grow plants that actually fit the description, not if you grow enough you might find one like this...

Fair enough. Generally I buy based on reviews and expect most poly hybrids to have differences. Just the way the genetics work.

Even if what you've been working on, it isn't for naught if you start over or work back. Making a good strain isn't the easiest of endeavors nor is it always predictable

Great news all. Thanks for sharing. @althor dobyou have a thread on the plushberry? Did you find color.
For the record Tga is a mostly hype appearance/aroma breeder. And dont run any of his gear. And what is odd is when he givesbup on a variety isbwhen I seem to get interested. Haha Double purple doja anyone?

Thanks for the update

Peace

I've never been a fan of plushberry , the taste is just not that good , just like jillybean I don't see what the hype is about.

The only TGA strain I grew that was worth a shit was chernobyl and it wasn't anything to write home about
