It's one thing to only post successes publicly, but I'm a fan of posting the good, the bad and the ugly.

Otherwise any breeder or fan of a breeder could make greenhouse or barneys look good by omitting the bad.

Yeah that was then for me, I am so full of shit about weed once I get going on something I don't like it comes across insanely harsh. I slipped up recently on Swami Seeds and flamed the crap out of two of his strains, but that was just because they were the worst things to ever enter my rig and he told me 'these are your new favorites you just don't know it yet' ... In my day jobs I am notorious for being an absolutely merciless critic. When it comes to herb I am enjoying searching out the positive alone. But trust me when I don't like it I can get vocal as all get out, I am enjoying the excercise in self control ATM.

I couldn't disagree more with hiding the duds. I was under the impression the breeders wanted pictures posted and info given about the good, bad and ugly. I don't send emails privately with breeders because I'm pretty sure they have better things to do than converse with fanboys. Plus their mailboxes are always full lol.

I was sent some other GGG testers. Am I gonna pop them? You bet.

Like I said I'm stoked either way. As long as I get my elbow plus per month Things are good. This still did that (you think I relied only on cookie cross testers for my harvest? See signature.

Nah I know you run two test tents and a personal tent mate. Last fella I expect to come short is you. Well Gen, then you. Yes, breeders want the GBU reviews for certain. Your impression is hundred percent. More a case of fellas being happy with me working differently than my way being what they want. So I get either Satties nobody else wants to test, or I get tested gear that fellas are pretty certain will go to release because I take some decent pics and post them far and wide. I am more useful for the fact I am a media whore with an eye on trends than a good grower or reporter.

I enjoy your reviews, as you are a great grower and do strains justice when you run them. All I'm saying it's always good to show everything not just the excellent (not saying you dont, or that GGG isn't usually fire by any means), but the ones which may not may the cut. Otherwise it is curating a false image of a particular strain or company.

Aha, touche. I thought about this bit before deciding on my approach so i cannot deny the absolute truth in your statement. My confidence in doing things this way stems from the fact we have fellas like you, kgp and Amos around that WILL be brutally honest about everything they run. Gen also doesn't hold back on poop even if it is GGG so they make sure to send him the good ones (jk) so in the end anybody that does his research will find all the info they need, positives and negatives. Then also it is a question of loyalty in a way. To be brutally honest, breeders have treated me like peers and become friends I actually exchange gifts with and will definitely visit and to whom my home is open for sure. The boards I have learned to keep at arms length. Something I will do for all my friends, talk only about their good qualities in public, and their mistakes in private.

GG 1 still a little heavy on the N (2 much blood meal for this strain?), but she's still filling out nicely. Maybe all them green ass leaves will help carry her through the rest of the flowering period


GG 3 doin' it's thang


Couple GG 3 clones got moved into the flowering tent recently:

I hear ya and respect that.

I think brutally honest is the way to go. No breeder is going to have their feelings hurt because a cross just didn't work out. At least they shouldn't be. Particularly tester, as one is testing to see any potential issues with a cross.

Not every cross is going to work out. We all know that, so would any breeder in the game.

Oh yes no breeder has ever gotten butt hurt over a type not working out fellas are very grateful for honest reports on everything. I am insanely thorough and i dont rate even half of what I test as release worthy. Like now for example, I am being verrrrryyy quiet with the GS x GSOG as far as the forums go, but m4k is going to get a full report on all phenos. If they meet his breeding goals I will do a nice fat report on all boards. Running continuous logs on everything is something I just dont have the time for either so that is a factor too these days. Pics with shorthand logs are easy then I just read them and write up a nice report. Not as much time hanging on forums as last year and I think it will become even less so I hope I can stay of use...

In other words I am a prime example of how you dont need to do a perfect job to lend a hand, fellas seem grateful enough for my contribution. Some guys can run a few beans and show them all off properly, I can run many but only report on some in public due to mainly typing really really really slowly.

hey just the fact that you spend your own time and money to help move breeders in a better direction is enough for me

Have you ever tried voice to text software? There are quite a few and they've become increasingly good over the last few years.

If your interested, I can send you some torrents to try the software and see if it helps. Of course buy it if you do like it, but it's never a bad idea to try software before you buy. Plus I know in SA you may have a hard time getting some of them.

These daybreakers are growing like monsters, I should have thought twice before putting them in 5 gallons of coco/perlite mix I have a strong feeling of an overgrow coming...

Better flower them fast!

Yeah but I am so lazy to take the bulb out of my hood to change for my HPS plus I wanted to see if they will show sex so I can cut clones off females to save keepers. Just hope they show sex within a day or two lol

 

[Yodaweed]

Organic 5 gallons on the right and coco/perlite drain to waste on the left, I think the coco has gotten a little bit of a growth spurt over the organic recently they were planted at the same time.

Take cuts of each one, toss the males when they show sex.

Sorry to go off topic but I had to ask Mad Hamish if he's heard of the old american musical act Rodriquez? I saw a documentary called "Searching for Sugar man" and it was a good story. But I heard this guy was big in South Africa in the eighties.

If you have links to demos that will be fantastic, fortunately software is border less and one of those things where we joined the real world thanks to the internet and pretty sweet deals for people living outside the USA and Europe because we don't pay your tax OR our sales tax...

Are you familiar with torrents? If not I can give you an easy primer and open a whole world of software/media to you. I am a digital pirate! I do have some links and will vet them before forwarding to you. Just let me know if you are familiar with torrents if not I can setup an easy download link for you off one of my servers
