I don't like ever buying seeds, but when I have, they came with buds wrapped around them. I don't understand why more people don't make their own. I have always been able to seed one or two branches on a plant, and not have very many show up in unexpected places. I have bred two males to one plant, and still had over half of the bud seed free.
During my 11 years on the wagon, I lost a 25-30 strain library when a freezer died in a rarely used barn. I'm still trying them a few at a time, but so far there are none coming up. So I'm starting over with a cross my BIL made in 1988. Of the 12 girls that finished last Fall, I have 11 sets of seeds. {we won't talk about the tragic clipping accident involving CP2N3. In my defense, the limbs were very long on the CP3 plant, and anyone could have put a few of those buds in the 2 tub before they realized it. But so far there is only one seed from those two, so I might call it CP2R3}
I will grow out all 11 lines and breed the best females with the best males. There are only two people who know I am off the wagon, so I can't ask my old growing buddies for seed or pollen. That means I will just keep on keeping on with Sidetracked: for now.
BIL says he still has seeds from the original cross, {Northern Lights X Afghani/Colombian} but they are in storage. A male off of either one of those would set me up nicely.
