Don't forget Donald Trump is going to be president and I'll be licking the tears off your face for the next 8 years.

Not the most potent, but some of the most sedative. It feels like a yak is sitting on you, I can't really even describe it accurately. It isn't very comfortable, but most stoners smoke weed to pretend they're on heroine so a lot of people seem to like it.
I can't decide what to get next between LA Plata alien blues or bubba berry, time wreck or Dr who from tga, Rd rare darkness or ghost train haze 1 or cAnna venture gorilla wreck

Well man, I could tell you in total confidence that Alien Blues is a really good thing to have in any stable. If you want the Who? go with Homegrown Natural Wonder's beans, they originally bred the Who for TGA, TGA just distributes other people's stuff 90% of the time. TGA really only makes bunk-ass shit like Jillybean, I'm pretty sure HGNW bred the Who, Sonic Screwdriver, Quantum Kush, and some of their other big ones. I love Sub and Jill though personally, I just don't have an outdoor operation in Medno County is all. Time Wreck, however, is a very good plant if you like super pine-y tasting stuff.

The Bubs berry looked good, but I would get the Alien Blues just because you have a couple guys like Mau5 and myself that can walk you though any problems you run into if any were to arise. I think I know the plant pretty well by now. GG and Trainwreck don't seem that compatible, I wouldn't even know what to expect with that cross.

I used to grow TW a lot when I still drank wine. If you like wine or know wine people, TW is a great pairing with food and beverages. Really complements the flavor of dry reds, which I never really liked much until I had really pine-y weed to smoke with a glass. Always a good yielder too, I love growing all the wrecks. Great terps too, the rosin usually comes out like grease rather than pull-and-snap. Kind of shitty to work with unless you have a peltier plate like I do.

TLDR: I'd go with Alien Blues and Time Wreck.

It's actually gg#4 & cookies and cream. How about grease monkey from exotic?

there aren't enough racist white people in america to make that happen, queef.
How's that double-digit triple-victory heading into Super Tuesday looking then? You're ignoring reality and it's cute. Trump Status: Unstumped.

How's the smell and taste of Blues
Man, I'll be totally honest, mediocre. Good frost, decent buzz, smells like blueberry muffins, it just isn't outstanding. Nothing I smoke personally, but I make a fucking ton of money on the retail end. Great producer, as far as vegetative and resin content, it just doesn't make my head-stash. If you're looking for a cash crop though, AB is just the ticket.

For unknown fire, you're going to want something a little more boutique. I'm really particular. I hate romulan, stardawg, OGs, pretty much like 90% of stuff people are growing commercially I won't go near for my own personal smoke. I really like cookies, but there's no way I'm going to grow cookies and sell them like I would the AB, and people wouldn't buy them because I don't have the time to teach everyone that there is no substitute for quality.

I usually grow like two cookie plants, and put them right in front of my fans in my monocrop tents, just to take the brunt of the wind-scarring because I'm smoking them myself. I have a true 5-week electric watermelon cookie that I bred out, that's pretty much the only thing I puff on but I can't get cuts out and the genetics are unholy and if I let it out, I'm going to look really bad for herming shit in people's gardens. That's my problem, all my favorite mothers are fucking DON'T LOOK AT IT unstable, but I keep all my most fucked-up mothers for that reason. There's no way to buy true quality without isolating the best of the best from a pheno-hunt. You can go to a clone bank, but I feel like that's cheating and often times you aren't getting what you pay for. I don't trust word-of-mouth, but that's just my hyper-skepticism of anyone that works in this industry. I don't feel like it's unfounded in most cases though.

Every super-fire cut is going to herm on you if you don't watch it like a hawk, plants aren't meant to do what you want them to do with their reproductive cycle. You develop an eye, when you see a plant with trichs out to the tips of fan leaves at 4 weeks, you just know certain ones are pushing themselves too hard and are going to herm early. I take a lot of plants down several weeks early on purpose. I like young resin, it makes for far more stable rosin, and a beautiful, almost transparent gold color. Not as potent too, which I like for personal use.

Here's a picture of the watermelon cooks. Yeah, they're actually blue-silver dried. As you can see though, that plant is DEFINITELY unstable, and doesn't yield for shit. But what I won't do for love.

That's why I think COBs are so cool, it's a very low-stress way to grow very unstable and temperamental plants.

Here's the parents for the watermelon if you want to pull a cookie pheno and breed it yourself:

Twizzler mom / Astro dad. You'll be so glad that you took the time to work with your plants, especially around Christmas when you won't have to worry about finding the perfect gift for a loved one. Every time I open my tents up, I crack a little smile and give my past-self a little pat on the back, it's a feeling that I want everyone to experience.

And the astro dad was a reversal, so the cookies came from fem-stock. Really, what I want everyone to realize, is that if you have two plants that you really really treasure for their stability and quality, by all means, reverse a clone and make a fem run. If your plants didn't start out intersex, the progeny will not be intersex. Get some colloidal silver and start chucking already! And here's another Queece inside tip, use this stuff for reversals, seems to work the best:

Kind of expensive but I'm pretty sure 1 bottle is a lifetime supply.

I think I'm going to start an unstable genetics seed company, call it Hermin' Munster Seeds and have a transsexual Rocky-Horror Dracula as the logo.

Pollen is a European term for hash
Here's my question, they always call those things pollen presses, is that actually a good way to store pollen? I would think it is, but maybe damage is done by the press that I'm not accounting for. I'm kind of liking that, have like an ice-cube tray with a different male puck in each slot. I always worry I'm going to accidentally kick over a bag of pollen and fuck my life up.

Poor Growmau5, his thread has turned into a random subject thread.
Well unfortunately for GrowMau5, 90% of the users of this site know absolute dick about cannabis other than what can be bought off a shelf. Most people that are here to learn subscribe to that same consumer-cult philosophy with cannabis cultivation.

The rookies in this thread already show magnitudes more promise than the guy asking "which line of nutes is good for purp?", so I would like to, on behalf of Mau5, fill these new guys in to the best of my ability so that Mau5 doesn't have to lose sleep typing a bunch of redundant stuff for johnny-come-lately.

I really think that the community will benefit immensely from COBs, and with Mau5 indisposed, I figure I can disseminate some stuff for the new guys quicker and maybe less technically while Mau5 handles his shit. Not a problem for me, the life of a cannabis grower can be pretty uneventful when you're done watering and pruning for the day, especially when you break your ankle skateboarding like a total buster :cry::cry::cry:
